FROM: Robert MoEwan, Executive Director
DATE: September 10, 2002
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF

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 execute
an agreement with the City of Antioch for the use of$235,000 of the City's Community Development Block
Grant Program (CDBG)funds to continue operations of the Rental Rehabilitation Program in the City of Antioch
for the 2002-2003 Fiscal Year.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa will be expended. Funding comes
from the City of Antioch's allocation of CDBG from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The Rental Rehabilitation Program operated by the Housing Authority will continue to serve
Antioch's need to rehabilitate affordable rental housing for low-income families. The $235,000 in CDBG funds
will leverage approximately $200,000 more in private investment to repair approximately 15 to 20 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.
This action continues the provision of services from preceding years.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Fewer affordable and decent rental-housing units will available to low-income families in the City of
Antioch. Neglect of deteriorated housing leads to poor environments and a decreased tax base affecting all of
Contra Costa County.
