Martinez, Executive Director DATE: August 17, 1993 SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR ADDITIONAL SECTION 8 UNITS UNDER THE MODERATE REHA'BILITATION PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 3689 authorizing submission of an application for units under the Section 8 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Moderate Rehabilitation Program for FY 1993 and authorizing the Executive Director to submit any additional infor- mation in support of the application which may be required by HUD, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Department of Housing and Urban Development has reserved contract authority for rental assistance to the homeless through the Section 8 Single Room Occupancy (S-RO) Moderate Rehabilitation Program. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: On July 16, 1993 the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa received HUD Information Bulletin 93-064 which sets out an invitation for applications for Section 8 Single .Room Occupancy Moderate Rehabilitation assistance and on August 27, 1993, HUD will be accepting applications for the Section 8 SRO Moderate Rehabilitation Program. SRO funds may be used for only one eligible activity -- rental assistance. Due to limited resources and considerations of need, HUD will only be accepting applications that propose assistance for home'l�ess individuals, and individuals currently residing in units, who are eligitdre for Section 8 assistance. At least 50% of the units proposed for assistance must be vacant so that a significant portion of those served are homeless individuals. At its Regular Meeting on August 16, 1993 the Advisory Housing Commission voted to recommend that the Board of Commissioners adopt Resolution No. 3689 authorizing submission of an application for units under the Section 8 Single Room Occupancy Moderate Rehabilitation Program and authorizing the Executive Director to submit any additional information in support of the application, as required by HUD.
