RECOMMENDED ACTION AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to execute a Letter of Intent to enter into an Option Agreement to transfer of a portion of Housing Authority owned property located at the end of Chester Drive in Pittsburg, CA to a joint venture,formed by Pittsburg Preschool Coordinating Council and Satellite Senior Housing Development Corporation (Co-Sponsors), for the development of low income senior housing. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None, this will be a 100% Federally funded housing development. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND The Housing Authority has been working with the Co-Sponsors to develop the Pittsburg Senior Housing Development through the HUD 202 funding program. The Co-Sponsors received a Notice of Funding Availability(NOFA) for the HUD 202 program and submitted a very competitive application. The application process requires a review by the HUD regional office to determine if the application is lacking any technical requirements. During the review,the application was determined to be deficient because the Co-Sponsors did not have an acceptable agreement for site control as required by HUD. In order to respond to the deficiency and to allow the applicants to proceed, a Board Order authorizing the Executive Director to execute a Letter of Intent between the Housing Authority and the applicants is needed. If HUD accepts this authorization,the application can proceed to the next step in the HUD 202 process. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to authorize these actions,the Co-Sponsors would have to seek additional funds to prepare a new application and resubmit it next year.
