BACKGROUND
In November, 1983 the Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 1983 was enacted.
Among other things the law authorized a Rental Rehabilitation Program. The County
applied for, received , and is now implementing a rental rehabilitation program with funds
received in September, 1984. Funds are allocated to localities on a formula basis - Contra
Costa County's formula allocation in Round 2 is $159,000. In addition, the County would
receive approximately one additional. Section 8 Certificate or Housing Voucher for each
$5,000 in program funds. A separate application for these certificates/vouchers will be
forwarded to the Board in the near future by the Housing Authority.
The program area is the County's Community Development Block Grant entitlement area,
i.e., the entire County except the cities of Richmond, Concord, Walnut Creek, and
Pittsburg. The Housing Authority, under contract to the County Planning Department is
the implementing agency. Administrative costs incurred by the Housing Authority cannot
be paid by these Rental Rehabilitation Program funds, but are being paid for with
Community Development Block Grant funds allocated to the Housing Authority for rental
rehabilitation purposes.
The securement of funds under this program will alow the County to further its housing
rehabilitation strategy and address the needs for improving the housing stock of the
County, particularly the needs of its lower income renters.
