The basic elements of the CAPER are the following: summary of resources and expenditures, programmatic accomplishments, status of actions taken during the year to implement objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan,and evaluation of progress made during the past year in addressing identified priority needs and objectives. Highlights of the CAPER include the following: • During FY 2001/02 the County received $7.5 million in new::..CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives: • The County expended $13.2 million on approved projects and programs. • For each dollar expended in County federal'funds, $4.48 was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources. • In the Economic Development category, CDBG' funds were used to assist 107 businesses and place 173 people in jobs.

Introduction Access to safe, sanitary and affordable housing, living wage jobs, essential social services, and viable communities are important factors in determining the prosperity and livability of a community. Contra Costa County on behalf of the Urban County'has participated in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program since its inception in 1975. The primary purpose of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing,a suitable living environment,and expanded economic opportunities for persons:of very-low and low-income. The purpose of the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME),program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for very-low and low-income families and households. In June of 1993,Contra Costa County as the Urban County representative and the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg;, and Walnut Creek joined together to farm a'Consortium for purposes of participation in the HOME program . In addition to CDB G and HOME,the County receives Emergency Shelter Grants(ESG)funds to improve and expand the supply of shelters for the homeless,and to provide homeless prevention activities and support services. ESG funds must benefit Urban County homeless populations. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS(HOPWA)funds may be used throughout the County for the development of housing affordable to and occupied by low-income persons with HIV/AIDS'. Participation by the County in these four programs has substantially increased affordable rental and homeownership opportunities,and expanded the availability of employment,recreation,health services,childcare,and other social services in Contra Costa. In compliance with federal'regulations,in April 2000 the County and the Consortium Members adopted the FY 2000/01-2004/05 Contra Costa Consolidated Plan(`°Five-Year Plan"or"Consolidated Plan').Based on an assessment of community needs,the Consolidated Plan identifies affordable housing and community development goals,objectives and strategies to be implemented by Consortium Members over the five-year planning period. The County's Annual Action Plan identifies specific programs'and projects to be implemented by the County in the current program year.These projects are consistent with and designed to achieve the goals and objectives identified in the Five-Year Plan. As required by 24 CFR 91.52,the Contra Costa County Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report'(CAPER)for FY 2001/02 provides an analysis of the progress the County has made in the past two fiscal years in carrying out the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, and the FY 2001/02"Action Plan for the Community Development Block'Grant,HOME Investment Partnerships Act,Emergency Shelter Grants and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AMS4 programs. 1 The County's eligible area,know as the Urban County,is the entire County,less the cities of Antioch,Concord,Pittsburg,Richmond,and Walnut Creek which operate independent CDBG programs. a The City of Richmond is an independent entitlement jurisdiction for purposes of participation in the CDBG and HOME Programs. 3 This report uses the following definitions: • Low-income households are defined as households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income(AMI)for the Oakland PMSA as adjusted for household size and'defined on an annual basis by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). • Very-low income households are defined as households with incomes at or below 50 percent of AMI. • Extremely-low income households are defined as households with incomes at or below 30 percent of AMI. 4 Contra Costa County administers HOPWA funds under a Funding Agreement with the City of Oakland. A more detailed HOPWA annual report for Contra Costa County activities is provided to the City of Oakland for inclusion in its CAPER and is available to interested parties on request.

Leveraging of Resources-FY 2001/02 Completed Projects In accordance with federal regulations and County policy,matching funds are required for projects that receive County CDBG,HOME and ESG program funds. CDBG funded projects are required to provide 'matching funds depending on the type of project sponsor or subrecipient. Projects implemented by nonprofit agencies are required to provide a 10 percent match, public agency projects are required to provide a 25 percent match,and for-profit projects are required to provide a 100 percent match. Projects receiving ESG funds are required to provide a 100 percent match. Matching funds for CDBG and ESG prof ects typically include other federal,state or local public and private funds.The HOME Program requires a 25 percent match from nonfederal sources. Table C details the funds leveraged for each project completed during FY 2001/02. While HOPWA funds do not require match,the County considers leveraging of additional resources in.the allocation ofHOFWA funds: Table C--Leveraging of FY 2011/02 Completed Projects C.I.

Consolidated plan Implementation/Certifications As indicated in the discussion on leveraging in Section 11D,the County diligently pursued resources identified in the annual Action Plan and five-year Consolidated Plan. During FY 2001102,the County supported efforts by local jurisdictions and nonprofit organizations to obtain additional federal resources for affordable housing development and programs,and projects to assist the County's homeless populations by working with applicants to ensure consistency with the currently approved Contra Costa Consolidated Plan and providing the required Certifications. The County has worked with the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to ensure that its Five-Year and Annual PHA.flan are consistent with the Consolidated Plan. Draft-9/12/2002 27 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER In addition to certifications,CDD staff works with other County departments to coordinate efforts in providing comprehensive services and programs that assist in implementation of the Consolidated Plan goals. E. Displacement Narrative Priority in the allocation of funds is assigned to projects that do not involve permanent relocation. However,projects involving relocation may be ftaided if required to:eliminate unsafe or hazardous housing conditions;reverse'conditions of neighborhood decline and stimulate revitalization'of a specified area;and/or to accomplish high priority affordable housing projects. As specified in all Project Agreements and related loan documents,the County and project sponsors must adhere to the requirements of the Uniform'Relocation Act(URA)in projects involving permanent or temporary relocation. In addition,wherever feasible, displaced households and organizations will be offered the opportunity to relocate into the affordable housing project upon completion. The County has developed procedures for monitoring relocation activities to ensure full compliance with the URA. The procedures include:a pre-finding interview with a review of project sponsor capacity for carrying out relocation activities(e.g.,contracting with a qualified consultant,in-house staff experience); a mandatory subrecipient meeting that covers relocation requirements and procedures for reporting; and submission of'relocation reports and copies of proper noticing throughout the relocation activities. No non-housing projects required relocation. F. Neighborhood Revitalization -- North Richmond Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area Accomplishments' The North Richmond Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area(NRSA)was approved by HUD, on August 18, 1996. The purpose of the NRSA is to create opportunities for economic self- sufficiency through jobs and housing, viable neighborhood commercial areas, childcare, transportation, and safe streets. The County's intent has been to take a collaborative approach to making these opportunities a reality by working proactively with residents, the North Richmond Municipal Advisory 'Council, the County Redevelopment Agency, Employment and Human Services, Community Services, 'Health and Sheriffs Departments, ,and community based organizations and businesses, The North Richmond:community experienced change during fiscal year 2001/02. The majority of projects originally identified in the NRSA having been completed,an update to the Plan was begun that will be completed by the end of the calendar year. The update will include an assessment of current conditions, establish new benchmarksand identify short-term and long-term goals to be achieved. Draft-9/12/2002 28 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER Community Actlon Plan The community, adopted a Community Action Plan (CAP) in April of 1999. The CAP is implemented by several committees composed primarily of community residents with support by county staff.It focuseson education,community appearance and safety,and economic development and employment. The updated MRSA will incorporate the goals of the CAP and include the activities of the CAP's committees as it is developed. Education •' The County Service Integration Program works closely with parents,the principal and staff of Verde Elementary School to improve student attendance and participation. As a result, absenteeism was reduced by thirty-eight percent during the school year fallowing a seventy percent reduction the previous year. Monthly attendance averaged 92.3 percent for the year. • The District l Board of Supervisors office,the Federal Regional Council,and the West County Unified School District have worked closely together to identify programs and funding to enhance both the,physical appearance of schools and educational opportunities for students. ; During FY 2000/01,a state grant was received to implement after school programs in the school district.The program began during the 2001/02 year. Community Appearance • During FY 2001/02,construction drawings were finalized for streetscape improvements along the Third Street/Filbert'Street corridor. This is the main route linking unincorporated North Richmond with the City of Richmond'and is a primary target area of the redevelopment Agency for commercial development. The improvements will be installed during the Spring of 2003. The City of Richmond will also be installing improvements on a two-block area to the south. Economic Development • One objective of the CAP is to establish a Farmer's Market within the community. A traditional Farmer's Market proved to be infeasible for a variety of reasons. However, the community researched alternative approaches and the citizens committee approved one. This approach would establish a mobile farm stand with produce grown at the Orin Allen Boys Ranch in East Contra Costa County transported to forth Richmond by van. The van will be modified for this purpose and will 'set up at various locations throughout the community. CDBG :funds'were awarded in FY 2000/01 for the purchase of this van. This project was in the late stages of development at the end of 2001/02 with implementation anticipated by the end ofthe summer or early fall. The following programs originally identified in the NRSA continue to operate and provide services to the community ofNorth Richmond.

Five-year Assessment The priorities and strategies established for non-housing community development'activities in the FY 2001/02 Consolidate Plan are intended to improve the livability and viability of our communities. Activities considered for funding must meet priorities for economic development;infrastructure and public facility improvements;the needs of the homeless,seniors,youth,families and special needs populations;underserved communities; and historic preservation. The practice of the County is to serve a minimum of 75 percent very-low and low-income persons in the public service category.An average of approximately 95 percent of the total persons served in FY 2001/02 were very-low and low income. Likewise,training and placement programs specifically target'extremely low-and very- low income persons,which has resulted in nearly 100 percent ofpartcipants meeting target incomes.

Major sources of match include HomeAid and County General Fund contributions to:the East County Transitional Facility.Other sources of match include the net present value of below market interest rate loans, the net present value of property tax waivers, land cost write-downs, and volunteer'labor. Draft.-9/12/2002 35 Contra Costa County 1;Y 2001/2002 CAPER ........... See Appendix C for HOME match report, HUD-4107-A. C. MSE/WBE Analysis, A minority and women owned business enterprise(MBE/WBE)outreach program was adopted by the Board of Supervisors as a component of the Consortium HOME Program, and the County's Affordable Housing Program. Consortium and County MBE/WBE policies are discussed at the Countywide HOME information meetings and at individual meetings with developers awarded HOME funds. In addition, requirements concerning minority and women-owned business participation in Consortium-funded HOME projects have been incorporated into all HOME project agreement and loan documents.Subrecipients must advertise business and contracting opportunities in a manner that would provide maximum notification,to minority and women-owned business enterprises. Further, Subrecipients are encouraged to utilize certificationI lists maintained by local public agencies. As indicated in the HUD-40107 form (see Appendix C), projects completed during the CAPER reporting period include: ■ A total of 32 contracts and 107 sub-contracts 8.64 percent of all contracts were with minority-owned business enterprises * 2.16,percent were with Asian/Pacific Islander-owned firms * 3.60 percent were with Hispanic-owned firms 2.16 percent were with Black/non-Hispanic-owned firms • 0.72 percent were with Alaskan/Native American-owned firms • Minority-owned firms were awarded $627,873 in contracts/subcontracts representing 8.77 percent of the total contract amount ■ 12.95 percent of all contracts were with women-owned firms Women-owned firms were awarded$500,634 in contracts/subcontracts representing 6.86 percent of the total contract amount. The Community Development Department will continue to work with project sponsors to improve the participation of minority and women-owned business in housing developments. D. On-site Inspections Federal regulations require the County to perform on-site inspections of a reasonable sample of rental housing units assisted with HOME funds in order to ensure continued'compliance with Federal Housing Quality Standards. Projects with 26 or more HOME-assisted units must be inspected annually;projects with 5 to 25 units, every two,years; and projects with up to 4 units, every three years. Draft-9/12/2002 36 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER The Community Development Department (CDD) in consultation with the County's Building Inspection Department and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County(HACCC)determined that the federal Housing Quality Standards (HQS) are the appropriate standards to use in annual compliance monitoring. All new construction'and rehabilitation'of housing in the County is completed in strict accordance with Uniform Building Codes.',HQS is used to evaluate the condition of existing properties to ensure housing is maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.HACCC and CDD staff performed inspections of 10 to 15 percent ofthe HONM-assisted units for each monitored project. Copies of the inspection reports are maintained at the CDD offices. During the current reporting period,the County performed onsite inspections of 11 projects. The following table summarizes onsite inspections conducted over the current reporting period.

While the inspected developments were generally in compliance with the HOME program regulations, on-site managers consistently showed a lack of understanding of the HOME program and its requirements. The County will continue to work with HUD to develop a training program for on-site managers. Draft-9112/2042 37 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER E. Affirmative!Marketing Please see Section VII.C,Pair Housing and Appendix D for discussion on affirmative marketing. F. Actions to Address the Housing Needs of Special Needs Populations County actions to address housing-.needs..of Centra Costa's special needs populations through the development of affordable housing are summarized in Table J (Priority H-7). Projects completed in FY 2001/02 that provide housing opportunities for special needs populations include Caldera Place in Concord,and the East County Transitional Center in Antioch.In addition, two of the purchasers of the Ellis Street T'ownhomes have disabled children. In addition to the above,all new residential construction projects funded with County resources are required to include units accessible to disabled populations.A minimum of five percent of all units built and all common areas must be accessible to mobility impaired persons and an additional two percent must be accessible to vision and/or hearing impaired persons, G. Slow Moving Projects During the current program year, Contra Costa made significant progress toward meeting its affordable housing goals. In measuring the County's accomplishments, it must'be noted that the majority of funded housing projects are complex, involving new construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of multifamily housing and requiring multiple fuming sources. In general, these projects require two to five years from initial development planning to completion and occupancy.In order to facilitate the ability of the project sponsor to obtain additional funding from other sources (e.g.,LIHTCs,FHLB Affordable Housing Program,HUD 202 and 811),the County often commits resources'relatively early in the process.Therefore,the number of units funded and completed with current resources is significantly less than the number funded and in development.TableJ includes projects that have been designated as delayed(or slow-moving). H. Displacement See the displacement discussion under Section M.E. One County-funded affordable housing project involved relocation.during FY 2001/02.The Alvarez Court project required the permanent displacement of one household. Resources for Community Development(RCD),the developer of the project,hired a relocation consultant who provided proper tenant notification and assistance in accordance with the LIRA. The relocation assistance allowed the family to purchase their first home. I. Accomplishments Table J summarizes FY 2001/02 completed and ongoing housing projects.

Fair Housing In FY 2001/02,the Contra Costa Consortium completed the Consortium Analysis ofImpediments Impediments tv Fair Housing Choice(A])'. The Consortium Al incorporates each member's existing AL updates existing impediments' to fair housing choice and develops'coordinated strategies and actions to overcome or eliminate those impediments. Over the past year, the County continued working to overcome or eliminate impediments to fair housing choice identified in its current Al. These impediments include the following: • A lack of affordable housing • Discrimination in renting • Potential problems in local planning departments concerning understanding and implementing fair housing laws. Remove constraints to affordable housing development. Contra Costa County addresses the lacko affordable housint:through CDBG,HOME,and HOPWA programs.Market factors such as high land and construction costs continue to be the most significant constraints on the development of affordable housing in Contra Costa. The County attempts to counter these factors with strategies and subsidy programs to develop affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities.Use of finds in these programs is maximized through the successful leveraging of state, local and private funds. (See Section IV for affordable housing priorities and accomplishments.) $The Northern Section of the California Chapter of the American Planning Association presented the Consortium with an Award of Merit--Advocacy Planning for the updated Al.

Alhambra Terrace had foundation stabilization improvements.Casa de Manana and Los Arboles developments in Oakley, and Los Nogales in Brentwood were entirely re-roofed. The Housing Authority received$336,900 in FY 2001102 HUD funds to operate a comprehensive'' Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) at its Rodeo I and North Richmond public housing developments. activities supported: include community oriented policing to reduce drug traffic, economic self-sufficiency services(e.g.life skills,computer training,job development)and children educational opportunities (Tiny Tots [Look, Listen & Learn]; Homework Club & .Hazy Potter` Reading`Club,''etc.). These:activities have been supplemented through''formal establishment of Draft-9/1212002 59 Contra Costa County FY 200112002 CAPER "Weed&Seed Safe Mavens"at the YMCA in Rodeo(30-45 children are served daily)and through the Project Pride recreation program(45-'60 children are provided services daily)and collaborative efforts with Neighborhood House Community Center in North Richmond. Safe Haven programs include computer training, drug prevention workshops, conflict resolution and sport and other recreational activities. For example "other recreational activities,' include Rodeo's youth Tennis Clinic that provided lessons and sport for 15 children ages b to 16 years old. The PHDEP funds rehab the tennis court and paid the salary for the instructor. The FY 2001102 Drug Elimination grant;is the final year of funding. The federal government has eliminated the PHDEP program. The HACCC will continue to fund the operation of the comprehensive Drug Elimination Pro However,support for community oriented policing will have to be reduced. Without the PHDEP funds, HACCC will only be able to support one officer rather than two full-time positions.Presently,2/3 of the PHDEP grant goes toward law enforcement and 1/3 toward drag prevention activities, such as Program Pride and the YMCA. The Housing Authority obtained a$75,000 Grant through the Resident Opportunities Program to provide training and technical assistance to help residents achieve economic self-sufficiency and personal growth. The Housing Authority has contracted with Rubicon to facilitate our Project Employ job readiness program.'This program has been modified to include job placement and case management.Twenty- six residents from Rodeo have been assisted by Project Employ this year; • 15 have been permanently hired at various jobs, + 8 are in some form of job training or receiving some other type of employment support (substance abuse counseling, child care or transportation assistance) • 3'have dropped out of the program In the upcoming year Pittsburg and North Richmond public housing residents will be targeted for enrollment in Project Employ. The Housing Authority continued to work with the Police Activities League to operate a computer- learning center at the Alhambra public housing development in Martinez. The purpose of the program is to provide'training and employment''skills for local teenage residents', F,6 Actions to alleviate lead-based paint hazard's The County,has incorporated the requirements of the lead-based paint regulations(24 CFR Part 3 5) into its affected programs, including the homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs. These programs developed implementation plans that include procedures to test for lead-based paint, determine a scope of work to address lead-based paint hazards, ensure qualified contractors are performing the required work,and obtain a clearance examination at project completion. The City of Richmond's project REAL(Richmond Effort to Abate Lead)provides abatement funds to low-income homeowners with children under six in the Santa Fe and Iron Triangle neighborhoods in Richmond, North Richmond, and San Pablo. Project REAL has provided assistance to the County's homeowner and rental rehabilitation programs in abating lead hazards in these areas.The Draft-91121.2002 60 Contra Costa County FY'2001/2002 CAPER County's Neighborhood Preservation Program is providing grants to homeowners who have received rehabilitation loans and need to abate lead hazards. F7 Acdons to ensure como/ance with program and planning requirements F.7.a housing Projects and PfOgrarrms The Contra Costa County Community Development Department is responsible for administration of the following federally fended programs to provide assistance for the development of affordable housing and homeless shelters. CORG,HOME,,,ESG, and HOPWA. All projects funded through these programs are monitored by the Department to ensure that the projects achieve their approved objectives in a manner consistent with federal regulations, the Consolidated Plan, and other local planning requirements. The Department's monitoring process consists of the following. • Prior to'fimding consideration., all project applications are reviewed to +ensure consistency with federal regulations,the Consolidated Plan and County Housing Element. • All project sponsors receiving an allocation ofCDHG,HOME,ESG or HOPWA.funds are required to enter into Project Agreements which specify project objectives,scope of work, eligible activities,performance targets,project'budget,implementation time frame,federal regulatory requirements', and monitoring and reporting requirements. In addition, all housing,'development funds are provided to projects in the form of a loan,with applicable federal regulations, and affordability and use restrictions incorporated into the loan documents and effective throughout the term of the lean, + Following approval of FY 2001/02 funding allocations for CD-BG and HOME,a mandatory meeting'was held with all project'sponsors to discuss County Affordable''Housing Program and federal regulatory requirements. An overview of the contracting and project implementation process was followed by presentations on CDBGIHOME Project Agreements,regulatory requirements,proj ect loan documents,federal environmental review procedures, documentation and procedures required for payment, and monitoring and reporting requirements. + During project implementation,project'sponsors are required to submit;quarterly progress reports detailing project progress, significant development'problems,project funding and expenditures,outreach to women and minority-owned businesses,and affirmative marketing activity.

Project sponsors are advised of any procedural errors and or ineligible activities. • Upon project completion, project sponsors are required to submit Project Completion Reports identifying prografproj+ect accomplishments, quantitative participation data or population served, and total sources and uses of furnds. F8 Actions to reduce the number ofpedpie living in poverty The movement of people above the poverty line involves,a variety of policies and programs that extend beyond providing opportunities for employment at a living wage. Access to education,' transportation,childcare,and housing are key components that can assist persons to secure and retain economically self-sustaining employment. The County employs a variety of strategies to help alleviate poverty in the Urban County, including efforts to stimulate economic growth and.,lob opportunities, and to provide Urban County residents with the skills and abilities required to take advantage of these opportunities. Draft-9/1212002 62 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER In FY 2001/02 the CNBC program';provided funds for three job training and placement programs. The HomeCare Healthcare Career Training Project (project # 01-20/$148,950) provided C'.N.A training and placement for persons to begin a health career or improve on their current job status; Opportunities for Employment Now(project##01-21/$144,000)providedjob training and placement specifically for North Richmond and San Pablo residents. Both programs were carried out by Rubicon Programs,Inc. In addition,the Opportunities for Technology Information Careers Project (project ## 01-221$85,000) provided training and placement for persons to establish careers in computer technology. CaIWOR ESS, California's response to the Workforce''Development Act of 1998, has altered the structure and function of the public social service delivery system. The new system emphasizes outcomes; the value of work and the duty ofgoverntnent'to support its citizens in their self sufficiency efforts. The County's implementation of CAMORKS'has been constructed with the purpose of going beyond "welfare reform" to building models that integrate services, leverage funding and share expertise across agencies.Contra.Costa County,in partnership with the Workforce Investment Boards from the City of Richmond,Alameda,and Oakland has formed a collaborative known as"Eastbay Works". Presently there are 14 Eastbay Works Centers,more commonly know as One Stops, six of which specifically serve the needs of Contra Costa residents. One Steps are located in Richmond,Hilltop(also in the City of Richmond),Concord,Pittsburg,and Brentwood. The North Richmond Employment Collaborative open in November of 1998 provides employment services primarily, to residents of North Richmond and surrounding communities, and is electronically linked to the One Stop facilities. In addition,'Bay Point works Community Career Center provides'employment services to residents of Bay Point. The Eastbay Warks Centers offer services to the universal population that include targeted services for those who are presently receiving Temporary Assistance for NeedyFamilies hinds. In addition to Job Training Partnership Act funds, the Workforce Investment Boards have received Welfare to Work formula grants and have secured: competitive grants to provide enhanced services and expanded training options for this population. Services are available for eligible individuals and include in-depth assessment, team case management, training, job placement assistance, and development of skills leading to higher wage earnings. CalWOR .S clients also have an option to participate in a child care training program,carried out in cooperation with.the Regional Occupation Program(ROP)from.the County Office of Education,Los Medanos'College and=adult schools in each area of the County. Clients earn.six'ROP units,which can be transferred to Los Medanos College towards an Early Childhood teaching credential. The program staff are pursuing teaching classes in Spanish and providing ESL classes. Participants in the program have attained employment in childcare centers(including Dead Start),in private homes as nannies,or were successful in securing other types of employment. Draft-9/12/2002 63 Centra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER During FY 2041/02, the Contra Costa County Transportation Alliance has been developing the following programs. • Vehicle Loan and Auto Donation program;to provide Cal Works participants with low cost vehicles.This program was close to implementation at the end of 2001/02.The development of n auto technician training program for CalWorks participants is continues to develop and is waiting for response to a grant iapplication. This program.may be coordinated with the Vehicle Loan Program to provide participants with automobiles. • Demand-Response Transportation program to guarantee participants a ride to work. This program began in'Septernber 2401 and continues to expand. • ` The Children's Transportation Program which provides bus service to and from I school and childcare for children of CalWorks families continues to be successful: Currently there are nine buses operating daily with a long waiting list for this service. In addition, the Alliance has worked closely with local service providers and.County;agencies to expand bus service in low-income areas. Opportunities for microenterprise and small ;business development are facilitated through a microenterprisercvolving luan find and a small business lean fund 01-23 and 01-24)sponsored by the County CDl3G Program.i Two childcare trainingprograms(01-16 and 01..17)assist low-income persons i establishing themselves as in home childcare providers. In addition, a small business assistance program (01-18) provides technical assistance to start-up companies or expanding businesses and another program (0'1-19)provides technical assistance to microenterprises. A number of affordable housing programs funded by the County provide housing opportunities for extremely-low and very-low income households. For a more complete discussion of housing opportunities available, see Section IV. Table D.I provides a list of all economic development projects funded in FY 2401/02. G. Leveraging See Table C. H. Summary of Citizen Comments The CAPER was noticed in accordance with federal requirement on August 23,2002 in the Contra Costa Tres, West County Times,Ledger Dispatch, and San Ramon Valley Tires. A notice was posted in the County administration building on the 1''{and floors and published in the Board of Supervisors Agenda of September 24,2042. A draft copy of the narrative statement and IDIS copy of the+GPR were available for the public to review in the County office. A summary of comments will be included in the final CAPER. Draft-9/12/2002 64 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER L Self-Evaluation; Progress in Meeting Consolidated Plan Dols As demonstrated by the preceding discussion,the County is making;significant progress in meeting the goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year Consolidated Ilan.During FY 2001/02,CDBG- funded public service projects provided a wide range of social services to 26,000 Urban County residents and households,including the homeless,mentally and physically disabled,seniors,battered women and children,and other special needs populations.Economic development programs offer training and placement services for extremely-low and very-low income persons and assist in the creation and expansion of small businesses.Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects have resulted in a variety of infrastructure and accessibility improvements. County affordable housing programs in combination with other resources were successful in increasing the supply of rental and ownership housing for low-income households.In FY 2001/02 a total of 29 affordable housing prof acts had received CDBG,HOME and/or FiOPWA funds.Thirteen of the projects- were completed,' accounting for 395 units. An additional '601 units are in development. Of the 16 projects funded through FY 2001/02 that are not yet completed, 12 are underway and four are delayed.These four projects have been allocated nearly$4 million in CDBG and HOME funds. The project sponsors are working to put together the final financing package. Although'an increase in the overall availability of resources for affordable housing would do:much to reduce delays caused by a lack of financing,this does not appear likely under current federal,state and local budget scenarios. Due primarily to the recent rapid escalation in housing prices,project sponsors have also experienced a lack of production in first-time 'homebuyer assistance programs. Current high housing prices require subsidies to assist low-income households in purchasing' a home that generally exceed acceptable per unit subsidy levels.This has been,a problem'for the Pinole First-time Homebuyer Program (HSG 8-2).'Since'being'funded in FY 1998/99, this program has assisted only six first- time homebuyers compared to a program objective of 13. Following discussions with the City of Pinole,this program will likely be terminated at the end of the calendar year and any remaining hands reallocated to the CDBG Housing Development Assistance Fund. While the County's accomplishments are significant,problems persist in timely implementation of some programs and projects. Affordable housing projects often experience significant delays between the initial commitment of County funds and completion. These delays relate to the complexity of housing finance and the ability of project sponsors to obtain the remaining resources required to fully fund a project. In order to compete effectively for major:handing sources such as nine-percent LIHTCs,tax-exempt mond funds,IUD Section 202/811,and State Housing Programs, proj ect sponsors must have firm funding commitments'from local jurisdictions.The high demand for affordable housing resources of all types combined with the limited supply of finds has resulted in an extremely competitive financing environment in Centra Costa County and the Bay Area, potentially causing lengthy delays in the completion of affordable housing projects.Delays in project implementation in the current construction environment also result in increased project costs, requiring supplemental funding from the County and other sources of financing. As discussed in preceding years,there is ongoing concern about the long-term capacity of the non- profit community providing services in Contra Costa County and their ability to comply with often Draft-9/12/2042 65 Contra Costa County FY 2001/2002 CAPER complex federal ;.regulations and requirements in implementing federally funded programs. Contributing factors include the relatively low pay scale associated with non-profits leading to high staff turnover and a lack of resources for ongoing training and professional development.In an effort to address this issue,the County provides technical assistance to non-profit organizations receiving County CDBG and ROME funds,including workshops ori contracting,budget and payment requests, federal regulations and ether County,requirements. Finally, the County is continuing efforts to improve citizen participation and;public input in affordable housing and community development program planning and development. During FY 2001/02,the County Redevelopment Agency continued to update and improve its website to increase public access to the Consolidated Plan and the County's Annual Action Plan(www.ccreach.org).In addition,the website contains additional specific information on the County's Affordable Housing and Community Development programs,including application procedures and funding criteria for the CDBG,HOME,ESG and HOPWA programs.
