BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS,
The County Building Inspection Department administers a housing rehabilitation loan
program through its Neighborhood Preservation Program. The Program offers low-
interest and zero-interest loans to low-income and very-low-income households who
own and occupy their home. The loan recipients qualify for loan assistance under
guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The County Neighborhood Preservation Program serves homeowners who are not
.able to qualify for conventional loans. The Program offers financial assistance to
eliminate conditions that are detrimental to health and safety; and promotes the
stabilization and enhancement of older neighborhoods in order to encourage a sense
of pride in the neighborhood. The funds are used for repairs such as roofing,
electrical, plumbing, mechanical, termite repairs, lead paint mitigation, disabled
accessibility, interior and exterior painting and other necessary deferred maintenance
repairs.
The County Neighborhood Preservation Program has served incorporated cities of
the County for many years. The Neighborhood Preservation Program currently has
contracts with the City of Antioch, Brentwood, EI Cerrito, Martinez, Pinole, San
Ramon and Walnut Creek.
The City of San Pablo transferred their housing rehabilitation program funded by
Community Development Block Grant funds to the County Building Inspection
Department for administration through the County's Neighborhood Preservation
Program in May 2004.
The City of San,Pablo and the Redevelopment Agency have determined that it is
cost-effective and efficient to have the County administer the Agency's housing
rehabilitation program using Redevelopment Funds. The City of San Pablo
Redevelopment Agency will pay the County an amount equal to 21 percent of the
loan amount made using Redevelopment Funds as compensation for the services
provided by the County to the Agency.
