TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: RICHARD J. MARTINEZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 1993
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SIGN AGREEMENT FOR FUNDS
FROM THE CITY OF ANTIOCH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM FOR THE RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa to sign an agreement to utilize $75 , 000
allocated from City of Antioch Community Development Block Grant
Program (CDBG) funds for Fiscal Year 1993-94 expanding , the
services of the Rental Rehabilitation- Program to the City of
Antioch; and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to execute all forms
necessary in this endeavor.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from the Housing Authority of County of Contra Costa
will be expended. Funding comes from The City of Antioch' s
allocation of CDBG. The Rental Rehabilitation Program operated by
the Housing Authority will be expanded to 'serve Antioch' s need to
rehabilitate affordable rental housing for LowIncomefamilies . The
$75, 000 in CDBG funds will leverage approximately $50, 000 in
private funds to,. repair five to seven rental housing units .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
There is a demonstrated need for decent affordable rental
housing for Lower Income families countywide. Antioch' s CDBG
funding allocation for the Rental Rehabilitation Program will
leverage private investment to rehabilitate affordable rental
housing by providing financial incentives and technical assistance.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Fewer affordable and decent rental housing units will be
available to low income families in the City of Antioch. Neglect
of deteriorated housing leads to poor environments for citizens; and
a decreased tax base affecting the entire County.
