BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Summary of the FY 2008/09 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER)
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all CDBG
and HOME entitlement jurisdictions to prepare and submit a CAPER to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CAPER provides the
County with an opportunity to evaluate its overall progress in carrying out priorities and
objectives contained the its 5-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan. The
County must submit its CAPER to HUD by September 30, 2009.
HUD uses the CAPER to evaluate whether (1) the County has carried out
projects/programs as described in its Consolidated and Action Plans; (2) CDBG, HOME,
ESG, Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and HOPWA assisted activities are
eligible and meet a national objective, and whether expenditures meet certain statutory
requirements; and (3) the County has demonstrated a continuing capacity to carry out its
HUD funded programs.
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. FY
2008/09 was the fourth year of the FY 2005/09 Consolidated Plan. Highlights of the
CAPER include the following:
-The County received $6.97 million in FY 2008/09 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA
funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development
objectives.
-The County also received an additional 7.76 million in FY 2008/09 CDBG-Recovery,
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing (HPRP), and NSP funds. These additional
funds were allocated through HUD as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act
(HERA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Expenditure of
these funds are anticipated to occur during FY 2009/10.
-The County expended $5.98 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures
were for projects funded in previous and current years).
-The County continued to meet HUD's requirements related to spending CDBG and
HOME funds in a timely manner.
-For each dollar spent in County federal funds, $8.03 was leveraged from other federal,
State, local, and private resources.
-During the last year, the County has made substantial progress in meeting or exceeding
its five-year performance goals contained in the Consolidate Plan.
-During FY 2008/09, CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds were used to accomplish
the following:
Over 22,000 lower income persons/families were served through Public Service
programs
96 people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs
157 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs
4 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed
201 affordable rental housing units for families were built or rehabilitated
32 affordable rental housing units for seniors were built or rehabilitated
36 homes were purchased or rehabilitated

Section I. 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 1 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-income2. 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 form a Consortium for purposes of participation in the
HOME program 3. In addition to CDBG 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
1 The County’s eligible area, known as the Urban County, is the entire County, less the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg,
Richmond, and Walnut Creek which operate independent CDBG programs.
2 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.
3 The City of Richmond is an independent jurisdiction for purposes of participation in the CDBG and HOME Programs.

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 May 2005 the County and the Consortium members
adopted the FY 2005 - 2009 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 2008/09 provides an analysis of the progress the County has
made in the third year of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, and the FY 2008/09 Action Plan for the
CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA 4 programs.
As of May 8, 2008, the Community Development Department has been renamed the Department of
Conservation and Development (DCD). The Board of Supervisors established the department by
combining the former Building Inspection and Community Development Departments. The purpose
of establishing the DCD was to enable Building Inspection and Community Development to work
together in an effective and efficient manner to respond to County and constituent needs more quickly
and without duplication of effort.
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.

C. Leveraging of Resources of FY 2008/09 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 minimum 10 percent match, public
agency projects are required to provide a minimum 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 projects typically include other federal, state or
local public and private funds. The HOME program requires a 25 percent match from non-federal
sources. While HOPWA funds do not require match, the County considers leveraging of additional
resources in the allocation of HOPWA funds. Table C details the funds leveraged for each project
completed during FY 2008/09.

Section III. CDBG Narrative
A. Non-Housing Community Development
A.1. Priority/goal assessment
Non-housing Community Development activities are those that provide for a safe and livable
environment as identified by the community. The County funds Community Development activities
under four different categories: Public Service, Economic Development, Infrastructure/Public
Facilites and Fair Housing.
The County is committed to allocating funds that serve the needs of the lowest income and most
disadvantaged residents. The Contra Costa Board of Supervisors has identified as a priority for the
allocation of CDBG funds the needs of children/families and the homeless, those segments of the
population that are the most at-risk and powerless.
The Contra Costa Consolidated Plan identifies the following priorities for non-housing Community
Development needs:
CD-1 General Public Services: Ensure that opportunities and services are provided to
improve the quality of life and independence for lower-income persons and ensure
access to programs that promote prevention and early intervention related to a variety
of social concerns such as substance abuse, hunger and other issues.
CD-2 Seniors: Enhance the quality of life of senior citizens and frail elderly, and enable
them to maintain independence.
CD-3 Youth: Increase opportunities for children/youth to be healthy, succeed in school, and
prepare for productive adulthood.
CD-4 Homeless Services: Reduce incidence of homelessness and assist in alleviating the
needs of the homeless.
CD-5 Non-Homeless Special Needs: Ensure that opportunities and services are provided
to improve the quality of life and independence for persons with special needs such
as disabled persons, battered spouses, abused children, persons with HIV/AIDS,
illiterate adults and migrant farmworkers.
CD-6 Fair Housing: Continue to promote fair housing activities and affirmatively further
fair housing.
CD-7 Economic Development: Reduce the number of persons with incomes below the
poverty level, expand economic opportunities for very low- and low-income residents,
and increase the viability of neighborhood commercial areas.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
14
CD-8 Infrastructure/Public Facilities: Maintain quality recreational, public facilities and
adequate infrastructure and ensure access to the mobility impaired.
CD-9 Administration /Planning: Support development of viable urban communities through
extending and strengthening partnerships among all levels of government and the
private sector, and administer federal grant programs in a fiscally prudent manner.
A.2. Accomplishments
Appendix E (Completed and Ongoing Projects) describes the accomplishments achieved in the
categories of Public Service, Economic Development and Infrastructure/Public Facilities. The County
ensures that the limited clientele national objective requirement is met for those activities that are not
targeted to one of the presumed benefit populations. Public Service agencies, whose clients are not a
presumed benefit population, are required to collect income documentation and/or certification from
its clients to determine their eligibility. The agencies are required to keep these records for five years
after the program/project is completed.
The following three tables (Tables D, E and F) summarize the accomplishments of Economic
Development, Infrastructure/Public Facilities and Public Service.

See Section IV HOME and CDBG Housing Narratives for discussion of affordable housing, including

C. Changes to the Program
Community Development Block Grant-Recovery Program (CDBG-R)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by
President Obama on February 17th, 2009, in an effort to jumpstart the economy, create or save
millions of jobs, and address neglected infrastructure. The Recovery Act included $13.61 billion for
projects and programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
nearly 75 percent of which was allocated to state and local recipients on February 25, 2009.
Contra Costa County received a special supplemental allocation of Community Development Block
Grant funds (CDBG-R) under the Recovery Act in the amount of $929,719. The intent of the CDBG-
R funds is to support “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects/activities that provide basic services to
lower-income residents or activities that promote energy efficiency and conservation through the
rehabilitation/retrofitting of existing buildings. Activities are required to create or retain jobs or
promote economic opportunity for lower income persons/households; or promote energy
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
17
conservation, smart growth, green building technology, or reduce pollution emissions.
The County issued a county-wide Notice of Funding Availability/Request for Proposals (RFP) for the
CDBG-R funds. As a result of the RFP process, 14 CDBG-R eligible projects were recommended to
receive CDBG-R funds (see Appendix E for list of ARRA/CDBG-R projects). As required per HUD
regulations, the County submitted a Substantial Amendment to its FY 2008/09 Action Plan to HUD by
the June 5, 2009 deadline.
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed on February 17, 2009, provided $1.5 billion to
help families who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to pay rent, make security
deposits, pay utility bills and cover other housing expenses. It also provides funds to help these
families receive appropriate services related to housing search and retention.
Congress enacted the Recovery Act to help persons affected by the current economic crisis. The
purpose of the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) is to provide
homelessness prevention assistance to households who would otherwise become homeless and to
provide assistance to rapidly re-house persons who are homeless. It provides temporary financial
assistance and housing relocation and stabilization services to individuals and families who are
homeless or would be homeless but for this assistance. HPRP is not a mortgage assistance program
and is not intended to provide long-term support.
The County submitted its HPRP application (Substantial Amendment to the County’s FY 2008/09
CDBG Action Plan) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on May 12,
2009. The application was approved for funding by HUD on June 25, 2009. Shelter, Inc. of Contra
Costa County has been selected to act as the countywide lead agency in this program. Shelter, Inc.
has twenty-two years experience providing homeless prevention services and fifteen years providing
rapid re-housing. HPRP partner agencies will include Rubicon Programs, Catholic Charities of the
East Bay, Greater Richmond Interfaith Program (GRIP), and Bay Area Legal Aid. The program will
start on September 23, 2009.
D. Consolidated Plan Implementation/Certifications
As indicated in the discussion on leveraging in Section II.C on Page 5, the County diligently pursued
resources identified in the annual Action Plan and Consolidated Plan.
During FY 2008/09, 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 Plans are consistent with the Consolidated Plan.
In addition to certifications, Department of Conservation and Development staff works with other
County departments to coordinate efforts in providing comprehensive services and programs that
assist in implementation of the Consolidated Plan goals.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT

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 funded 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, households and organizations will be offered the
opportunity to remain in the project upon completion.
The County has developed procedures for monitoring relocation activities to ensure full compliance
with the URA. The procedures include: a pre-funding 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.
During the program year, one project required relocation activities. Below is the status of the project:
Lakeside Apartments (Project No. 03-15B-HM) – This project is an eight building 124 unit
acquisition and rehabilitation project. Due to the size and scope of the project, relocation and
construction activities were phased over three years. Relocation activities began on this project in
January 2004, and continued through FY 2008/09. The developer of the project, Resources for
Community Development, hired a qualified consultant to develop a relocation plan for the project and
conduct all relocation activities in accordance with federal regulations. One tenant originally provided
with temporary relocation is now eligible for permanent relocation. The tenant felt that the Housing
Valuation Study was flawed. The County hired a different relocation consultant to complete a new
Housing Valuation Study and permanently relocate this tenant. This tenant is appealing the relocation
benefit decision to HUD headquarters.
F. Neighborhood Revitalization — North Richmond Neighborhood
Revitalization Strategy Area Accomplishments
The North Richmond Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) was approved by HUD in
August 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, Health and Sheriff Departments,
and community based organizations and businesses.
The majority of projects originally identified in the original NRSA have been completed and an
update to the Plan has been started but progress has been slowed due to staff capacity issues. When
completed, the update is expected to include an assessment of current conditions, establish new
benchmarks and identify short-term and long-term goals to be achieved.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT

CDBG Funded Projects/Programs
The following programs originally identified in the NRSA continue to operate and provide services to
the community of North Richmond. Both CDBG supported programs and non-CDBG supported
programs are listed.
• Neighborhood House of North Richmond Multi-Cultural Family and Senior Center (08-08-PS)
continues to receive CDBG funding. The Center is host to community meetings and events
and is home to a number of programs providing education and social services. CDBG funds
are provided for operation and staffing of the Center.
• The Service Integration Team (08-05-PS) provides case management and employment
assistance to Cal Works clients. This program is administered by the Employment and Human
Services Department and attempts to remove substance abuse and mental health issues as a
barrier to families striving to achieve economic self-sufficiency and optimal family
functioning. During FY 2008/09, this program helped 32 residents of North Richmond, Bay
Point and San Pablo enroll into a substance abuse treatment or mental health treatment
program.
• The Verde School Service Learning project (08-23-PS) sponsored by the Verde Partnership
Garden/Tides Center uses a hands-on approach to learning that integrates traditional
curriculum requirements with real-world situations. A total of 350 students participated in this
program.
• The After School Outreach Performing Arts project (08-20-PS) sponsored by the East Bay
Center for Performing Arts, provides programs in music and dance to children at sites in North
Richmond (Verde School) and San Pablo. A total of 220 students participated in these classes
during the year.
• Family Day Care Development Project (08-39-ED) sponsored by the Contra Costa Child Care
Council, via a subcontract with the Cambridge Community Center, provides opportunities for
low-income women to develop in-home day care centers in North Richmond and Bay Point.
• The Strengthening Neighborhood Economies Commercial Corridor project (08-43-ED),
sponsored by the West Contra County Business Development Center (BDC), seeks to improve
the success of small businesses and micro-enterprises in West County through business
assistance and community building activities. This year, 48 aspiring, start-up and established
small businesses were assisted. With BDC’s help six new businesses were opened, and 17
new jobs created in the area.
• The Workforce Services project (08-41-ED), sponsored by Rubicon Programs, provides
training and job placement services to low-income persons to develop careers in various
professions, including the health care and bio science professions. Though available to
residents County-wide, the program has a strong west County focus. During the year, a total of
15 people were trained and placed in jobs earning an average of $9.00 per hour.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT

• The North Richmond Youthbuild Program (08-38-ED), sponsored by Community Housing
Development Corporation, provides on-the-job training in the construction, retail,
manufacturing, medical/dental assistant or services and hospitality fields. During the year, a
total of 12 youth graduated from the program. Youthbuild has completed four homes and sold
two.
• The Promoting Safe and Stable Families program, administered by the Employment and
Human Services Department, provides a variety of services to community residents through a
collaboration of community-based organizations. Services include childcare, family planning,
parenting classes, educational support groups, domestic violence counseling, youth activities
and others.
• The Neighborhood Preservation Program operated by the County Building Inspection
Department, implements rental ordinances and safety code requirements for rental and vacant
property in order to ensure safe and sanitary housing and property.
Community Action Plan
The North Richmond 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 focuses on education, community appearance and safety, and economic
development and employment. The updated NRSA 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 has been
reduced and monthly Average Daily Attendance (ADA) numbers have increased.
Miscellaneous
The following programs, though not specific to North Richmond, are available to North Richmond
residents and businesses. All projects are ongoing and funded through the CDBG and HOME
programs.
• Housing Development Assistance Fund – HOME and CDBG funds are available for the
purpose of funding eligible housing projects during the program year.
• Rental Rehabilitation Program – CDBG resources are available throughout the program year
for the purpose of rehabilitating rental housing affordable to low-income households. Since
approval of the NRSA in 1996, 17 rental units affordable to low-income households in North
Richmond have been rehabilitated through this program.
• Neighborhood Preservation Program – Zero and low interest CDBG loans are available to
owner occupants for home rehabilitation and renovation. Since approval of the NRSA, 15
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
21
units owned and occupied by very-low and low-income households in North Richmond have
been rehabilitated through this program.
• Small Business and Microenterprise Loan Program – CDBG funds are available to persons
and small businesses intending to start a business or expand an existing one.
The following are Redevelopment Agency activities that continued or were undertaken in North
Richmond during FY 2008/09:
Initiated the North Richmond Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to explore
transforming over 200 acres of underutilized land into a new residential neighborhood consisting of

Development Area under ABAG’s FOCUS Program.
G. Five-year Assessment
The priorities and strategies established for non-housing Community Development activities in the
Consolidated 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.
Likewise, job training and placement programs specifically target extremely low- and very-low
income persons. Table G on page 18 details the progress the County has made in meeting its five-year
goals for non-housing Community Development projects.

During FY 2008/09, the County allocated CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds in a manner
consistent with these objectives and strategies. These projects are summarized under the appropriate
strategy/need in Appendix E.
B. Match Contributions
The HOME program incurred a match liability of $1,003,478 in FY 2008/09, and realized a total match
of $1,757,061. Sources of match include the net present value of below market interest rate loans, and
the net present value of property tax waivers.
See Appendix C for HOME match report, HUD-40107-A.

C. MBE/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 certification lists maintained by local public agencies.
As indicated in the HUD-40107 form (see Appendix C), projects completed during FY 2008/09 include:
• A total of 5 contracts and 35 sub-contracts.
• Seven and a half percent of all contracts were with women-owned firms.
• Women-owned firms were awarded $600,601 in contracts/subcontracts.
• Seven and a half percent of all contracts were with minority-owned businesses.
• Minority-owned firms were awarded $88,000 in contracts/subcontracts.
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) 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.
DCD 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 DCD staff performed
inspections of 10 to 15 percent of the HOME-assisted units for each monitored project. Copies of the
inspection reports are maintained at the DCD offices.
During the current reporting period, the County performed on-site inspections of 26 HOME-assisted
projects. Table H summarizes onsite inspections conducted over the current reporting period.

*Project Owners fixed identified deficiencies and have rescheduled inspections.
Concurrent with the on-site inspections, DCD staff inspects tenant files to ensure the management
company complies with HOME program and County requirements. The review includes confirming
proper income certification, correct rent and utility allowance calculations, and appropriate tenant lease
provisions. The County has a licensing agreement with U.S. Communities for their FOCUS program.
FOCUS provides web-based reporting program. HUD’s income and rent limits are imbedded in the
program. The program allows for immediate feedback to asset managers on whether or not the unit is
in compliance.

E. Affirmative Marketing
Please see Section VII.C, Fair Housing on page 31 and Appendix D on page 49 for discussion on
affirmative marketing.
F. Actions to Address the Housing Needs of Special Needs Populations
County actions to address housing needs of Contra Costa’s special needs populations through the
development of affordable housing are summarized in Appendix E, Housing Table (Priority H-7).
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 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 funding 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 often less than
the number funded and in development.
In addition, DCD retains $10,000 from all developers of multi-family housing until all project
completion information has been submitted and approved by DCD. This includes the marketing plan,
lease, tenant roster, rent and utility allowance calculations, Davis-Bacon reports, and relocation
information.
The North Richmond Youthbuild project was phased out in FY 2008/09. The project sponsor did not
anticipate the difficulty of coordinating work on rehabilitating the home with the timing of instruction
of the youth. In addition to classroom work, the youth learned aspects of the construction trade. The
project sponsor found balancing appropriate tasks for the youth, while maintaining a reasonable pace of
construction to be a huge challenge. This resulted in a long construction period. This problem was then
exacerbated by the decline in the housing market. One of the completed Youthbuild units has been on
the market for 16 months. The housing table in Appendix E includes additional projects that have been
designated as delayed (or slow-moving), including the Habitat for Humanity project in Bay Point. This
project requires the construction of a new street. Habitat will construct the street to meet the County
Public Works Department public street standards so that the street can be dedicated to the County as a
public street. In addition, Habitat is working to secure easements for the sewer connection. These two
issues have delayed the project start date several times.

I. Accomplishments
Appendix E contains a summary of FY 2008/09 completed and ongoing housing projects. The summary
includes the race/ethnicity of those served and the number of Section 215 units. In addition, the Contra
Costa County HOME Consortium is a high performing HOME participating jurisdiction in California
according to HUD analysis.
J. Program Changes
In March 2009, the County executed a contract with HUD for the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program. The County issued a Request for Proposals for developers and other
NSP partners. It selected four developers (See HERA-ARRA table.) These developers have
made several purchase offers and expect to close on the first home by mid-October. The
County has developed NSP legal documents. Enterprise is using its technical assistance
funds to contract with MoveHome to provide marketing and other program development
to the County.

Section V. HOPWA Narrative—HIV/AIDS
County Conservation and Development and Health Services Departments staff meet periodically to
identify and address the housing and housing-related service needs of low-income persons with
HIV/AIDS in Contra Costa. Activities during FY 2008/09 include inter-jurisdictional planning efforts
to evaluate project proposals, refinement of the current referral process for affordable HIV/AIDS
housing, and provision of technical assistance to current and potential developers of affordable housing
and related services for persons with HIV/AIDS.
The County HIV/AIDS Program allocated $1,557,343 in FY 2008/09 HOPWA and Ryan White
Treatment Modernization Act funds for the following services which address the needs of low-income
persons with HIV/AIDS in Contra Costa: $821,809 for medical case management, $16,084 for
emergency financial assistance, $110,185 for food, $119,076 for housing services, and $490,189 for
other support services such as mental health, substance abuse, respite care, transportation, and legal
services.
In addition Contra Costa apportions approximately 20 percent of its HOPWA allocation to the Contra
Costa Health Services Department (HSD) to provide housing advocacy services to persons with
HIV/AIDS. The balance is used for acquisition/rehab and new construction of affordable housing for
persons with HIV/AIDS. All funds are awarded to subrecipients on a competitive application basis.
During FY 2008/09, HSD allocated $90,000 in HOPWA funds to Catholic Charities of the East Bay to
provide housing advocacy and assistance services, including client intake, housing needs assessment,
assistance with locating affordable housing, assistance with housing-related benefit applications,
development and implementation of client housing plans, emergency housing assistance funds, follow-
up to ensure receipt of benefits and housing, and referral to other services. An additional $20,000
award was allocated to the AIDS Program to provide HIV+ clients with housing-related financial
assistance to help cover their move-in and eviction prevention expenses.
See also Appendix E for Public Service and HOPWA projects that target individuals with HIV/AIDS.
Section VI. ESG Narrative
Contra Costa County receives an annual allocation of federal Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) funds
through HUD. In FY 2008/09, the County received $152,748 in ESG funds that were allocated to
eligible agencies on a competitive application basis. Proposed projects were evaluated based on several
criteria including consistency with the Ending Homelessness in Ten Years: A County-Wide Plan for the
Communities of Contra Costa County. These plans identify priorities and specific actions to alleviate
homeless needs in Contra Costa. Additional information on actions to address the needs of the
homeless population in Contra Costa can be found in Section VII.E Continuum of Care Plan, and
Appendix E, Public Service projects and ESG projects. Most of the current ESG applicants are granted
CDBG funds from both the County and entitlement cities.

See Appendix E for a status of projects including location and project beneficiaries.
C. Fair Housing
Over the past year, the County continued working with its Subrecipients to help overcome or eliminate
impediments to fair housing choice identified in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
(AI). The specific AI recommendations addressed this year are as follows:
Action 2.1 - Through the Consolidated Plan and one-year Action Plan, the Consortium should continue
to allocate resources to encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing throughout the
entire Consortium. Also, adequate resources should continue to be allocated to provide fair housing
education and outreach efforts.
In FY 2008/09, resources were allocated to develop new units of affordable housing in different regions
of the County. In addition, resources were provided for multi-family and single-family rehabilitation
programs, first time homebuyer programs, and fair housing counseling, legal services, and outreach
(See Appendix E).
Action 4.1 - The County and cities continue to collaborate to expand affordable housing in communities
where such opportunities are limited.
(Please see Housing Table in Appendix E)
Action 7.1 - Fair housing service providers should continue to expand outreach to the community
regarding fair housing rights.
Bay Area Legal Aid conducted a series of outreach workshops throughout the program year. This year,
approximately 2,125 people (landlords and tenants) attended informational meetings on fair housing
related issues.
Action 10.1 - The Consortium and fair housing service providers should consult with lenders to explore
ways to improve access to financing for all.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate program reserves 40 percent of its allocation for households with
incomes at or below 80 percent of area median income. Lenders have been cooperative with this
program, and 25 Mortgage Credit Certificates were provided to low-income households in FY 2008/09.

E. Contra Costa Interagency Council on Homelessness
County actions to address the needs of homeless populations through the allocation of FY 2008/09
CDBG and ESG sources are discussed in Sections III and VI. Accomplishments in the provision of
housing reserved for and/or affordable to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless is
discussed in Section IV. The following discusses additional activities undertaken by the County and
Contra Costa Interagency Council on Homelessness or CCITCH (formerly known as the Continuum of
Care Board) to address the needs of homeless populations during FY 2008/09.
During FY 2008/09, the County continued to implement strategies and projects consistent with the
Contra Costa Consolidated Plan and the Ending Homelessness in Ten Years: A County-Wide Plan for
the Communities of Contra Costa County. In recognition of the priority assigned by the latter plan to
the preservation of existing housing and services for the homeless, approximately $6.9 million in
federal McKinney Act resources were allocated to maintenance of the existing inventory of emergency
and transitional housing and support services for homeless populations. Specific projects funded with
McKinney Act resources are listed in Table J on page 27.
Additional resources allocated to the maintenance of existing homeless programs include $584,743 in
County General Fund resources for continued operation of the West County Emergency Shelter and the
Central County Emergency Shelter, and for supportive services for persons in permanent supportive
housing, and $88,718 in FEMA resources used to provide emergency shelter, food, emergency rental
assistance and other assistance to homeless populations.

During FY 2008/09, in support of the County’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, two Project
Homeless Connect events were held in September 2008 and June 2009 to assist homeless adults, youth
and families to accessing critical services. Project Homeless Connect events bring together a variety of
health and social service providers in one convenient location. Services included health care, dental
exams/cleanings, haircuts, manicures and pedicures, state-issued identification cards, and homeless
court. The September 2008 event provided these services to over 600 individuals and the June 2009
event served over 800 individuals.
F. Other Actions
F.1 Actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The County's efforts to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing and to meet the
objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan described in the general narrative sections of this report
are all directed to meeting underserved needs. In addition, the criteria for target population and
alleviation of affordable housing needs employed in the allocation of HOME and CDBG funds for
housing establish a priority for projects which reserve a portion of the units for extremely-low income
and/or special needs populations.
F.2 Actions to address Limited-English Proficient (LEP) populations
According to the 2000 Census, 68 percent of Contra Costa County’s Hispanic population speaks
Spanish, and 28 percent of those who speak Spanish either speak English “not well” or “not at all.” In
addition, 62 percent of Contra Costa County’s Asian and Pacific Islander populations speak a language
other than English, and according to a sampling, 16 percent either speaks English “not well” or “not at
all.” Therefore, Contra Costa County does have a significant limited-English proficient (LEP)
population, both Asian and Hispanic.
In order to address and to better serve Contra Costa LEP residents, the County has developed a
Language Assistance Plan (LAP) in accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) Final Guidance (Federal Register/Vol. 72, No. 13, January 22, 2007) and
Executive Order 13166. The goals of the LAP are: 1) to provide meaningful access for the County’s
LEP residents through the provision of free language assistance for the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and
HOPWA programs; 2) to provide an appropriate means to ensure the involvement of LEP residents that
are most likely to be affected by the programs and to ensure the continuity of their involvement; 3) to
ensure that the County’s CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA staff will assist the County’s LEP
population in obtaining the necessary services and/or assistance requested or needed.
The County has been proactive on many fronts in starting the implementation of the LAP. For example,
the County’s mailing list of interested parties, which is used to announce funding availability and
general participation in the CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA programs, contains over 700 agencies
including many agencies that target services to specific populations (minorities, disabled, and the
limited-English speaking populations). The County staff has access to timely translation services,
including having a Spanish-speaking CDBG person currently on staff, when limited-English speaking
citizens call to inquire about the various programs available. In addition, the County has contracted
with an outside consultant to provide State and court certified interpreters that assist in verbal
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
34
communication and to also provide translation of vital documents. In addition, the County continually
monitors subrecipients to ensure funded agencies are doing whatever is possible so that limited-English
speaking residents have full and complete access to services. For example, many agencies report that
they have translated their brochures into different languages, have multi-lingual staff, and target
outreach activities to LEP populations. The County will continue to request subrecipients provide
information on how they are reaching out to all persons including limited-English citizens.
F.3 Actions to foster/maintain affordable housing
See affordable housing discussions in Section IV on page 19.
F.4 Actions to eliminate barriers to affordable housing
Market factors such as the high cost of land suitable for residential development and high 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 (See Section IV ).
Additional actions undertaken by the County to decrease development costs and eliminate barriers to
affordable housing include the following:
• The County adopted an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which requires developers to
provide 15 percent of the units as affordable to moderate, low, or very-low income
households.
• The County has a density bonus ordinance to permit increased densities for housing
developments that include units affordable to low-income households.
• The County continues to use Planned Unit Development (P-1) zoning to streamline
the development process and permit the use of flexible design standards for projects
with an affordable or special needs housing component.
• The County also provides expedited plan review and permit processing, flexible
design standards, and deferred or reduced fees for affordable housing projects in
County redevelopment areas on a case-by case basis.
• The County adopted a Fee Realignment Ordinance, which allows developers to defer
payment of fees to the completion of the project. Payment of fees is typically required
when building permits are pulled. Deferring the fees will provide some cost savings
to developers.
F.5 Actions to overcome gaps in the institutional structure
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
35
The County Department of Conservation and Development continues to provide technical assistance to
non-profits to build capacity and assist in the development of programs and projects designed to meet
the County’s Consolidated Plan objectives through individual meetings and workshops held during the
program year. Further, the Department works with non-profits to achieve designation as a Community
Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and/or Community Based Development Organization
(CBDO) for purposes of participating in the Consortium HOME and County CDBG affordable housing
programs.
F.6 Actions to improve public housing and resident initiatives
Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers
For the FY 2008/09 the total resource for the Section 8 program was $71,549,029.00. The Housing
Authority’s aim is to administer the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program to permit the widest
range of housing opportunities for low-income Contra Costa County residents. To help meet this goal,
the Housing Authority has sub-programs that target special populations and neighborhood revitalization
efforts. A description of these programs is provided below:
Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) - The Housing Authority Housing Choice Voucher
program currently administers 6,560 vouchers. This number represents nearly 96.7% of the
6,781 vouchers authorized by HUD.
The Family Self Sufficiency Program (FSS) - FSS combines housing assistance and social
services to enable families to pursue employment, job training, or other education that will lead
them toward self-sufficiency. The ultimate goal is to free families from public assistance after
five years. A Family Self Sufficiency Action Plan has also been adopted by the agency and
forwarded to HUD. The Housing Authority has over 119 families participating in the FSS
program of which 51 families, or about 43%, have escrow balances that could be used toward
down payment on a house, continuing education, or other goal oriented uses.
Shelter Plus Care (SPC) - This program provides rental assistance and a full range of services to
homeless individuals who are mentally ill, have chronic alcohol or drug abuse problems, or
have AIDS or related disorders. A broad base of community service providers and the County
Health Department supports the program. The Housing Authority’s Shelter Plus Care program
currently provides housing assistance to over 307 individual/families. In addition we are now
providing rental assistance services to 39 families participating in the Project Coming Home
program. Project Coming Home is a unique grant that provides specific housing and services to
indigent/homeless singles.
Moderate Rehabilitation Program (MR8) - This program provides project-based subsidized
rental assistance to eligible tenants for a time negotiated by the property owners in a contract
with HUD and administered by the Housing Authority. As contracts expire, residents are
eligible to convert their project-based assistance to tenant-based Section 8 vouchers, as funding
is available. There are currently 28 units under contract.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
36
Project Based Assistance (PBA) - The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa
(HACCC) has set aside two hundred nine (209) project-based vouchers for existing housing
units. HACCC selected six developments based on a competitive RFP process. HACCC has
entered into Housing Assistance Contracts (HAP) with each of the six project’s owner for an
initial term of between ten & fifteen years for each contract unit. The length of the term of the
HAP contract may not be less than one year, nor more than fifteen years. Within one year
before expiration, the HACCC may agree to extend the term of the HAP contract for an
additional term of up to five years if the HACCC determines an extension is appropriate to
continue providing affordable housing for low-income families. The HACCC’s contractual
commitment is subject to the availability of sufficient appropriated funding (budget authority)
as determined by HUD or by the HACCC in accordance with HUD instructions.
Due to recent funding shortfalls, the HACCC has not solicited a new round of competitive
Request for Proposal (RFP) for any additional project-based vouchers for existing housing
units.
Public Facilities Modernization - During FY 2008/09, the Housing Authority expended
approximately $1.8 million on improvement and repairs to its public housing developments.
Existing windows were replaced with dual glazed aluminum windows at the 150-unit El Pueblo
family development in Pittsburg. Security alarm systems were installed in units of the Bayo
Vista development in Rodeo. Steel handrails were upgraded in the 100-unit Elder Winds senior
development in Antioch. Security screen doors were installed at the 100-unit Vista del Camino
development in San Pablo, while a more extensive contract for exterior modernization of the
development was being prepared. Additionally, a major elevator modernization project was
completed at the Kidd Manor senior development in San Pablo. This work identified represents
modernization activities in 29 percent of all Authority housing stock.
Anti Drug/Youth Programs
The Housing Authority operates two youth programs at Las Deltas in North Richmond, Project Pride
Program and Young Adult Empowerment Center. The Project Pride Program provides youth oriented
activities, which includes arts and crafts, homework club, movie time, spelling bees, cooking classes
and Jr. Giant Baseball Practice. Project Pride is also instrumental with outside field trips to museums,
baseball games and Discovery Kingdom. Currently Project Pride had approximately 50 children
enrolled in their summer program, most will continue in the after-school program. In June of 2008,
with the collaborative efforts of Supervisor John Gioia’s office and numerous county agencies the
Young Adult Empowerment Center was opened. This center offers free job and life skills classes for
young adults ages 16 to 18, classes include resume writing, computer skills and career planning.
The federal government has eliminated the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP).
HACCC continues to fund and support the community-oriented policing program. HACCC will support
one Deputy and drug prevention activities offered at Project PRIDE and the YMCA.

Youthbuild
The Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond (CHDC)5 implemented a
federal Youthbuild program. The program was supported by the Contra Costa County Redevelopment
Agency and the Housing Authority. Its primary aim is training local youths in self-sufficiency trade
skills and completion of high-school level education equivalency. Participants will significantly
rehabilitate five homes and construct two homes that will be sold to low-income families. To facilitate
this project, HACCC obtained HUD approval to donate five properties with deteriorated buildings that
may be rebuilt or replaced. CHDC is sub-dividing two of the properties and will construct new homes
on the new parcels. During the last fiscal quarter of FY 2008/09, CHDC began to phase out the
program to bring the program to an end. As of June 30, 2009 CHDC has ceased operations of the North
Richmond Youthbuild Program.
F.7 Actions to alleviate lead-based paint hazards
The County has incorporated the requirements of the lead-based paint regulations (24 CFR Part 35) 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 County’s Neighborhood Preservation Program homeowner rehabilitation program provides grants
to homeowners who have received rehabilitation loans and need to abate lead hazards.
F.8 Actions to ensure compliance with program and planning requirements
F.8.a Housing Projects and Programs
The Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development is responsible for
administration of the following federally funded programs to provide assistance for the development of
affordable housing and homeless shelters; CDBG, 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 funding 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 of CDBG, 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 requirements6, and monitoring and reporting requirements. In
5 CHDC is a Community Housing Development Organization.
6Includes compliance with federal regulations concerning: equal opportunity and fair housing; affirmative marketing; displacement,
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
38
addition, all housing development funds are provided to projects in the form of a loan or
grant, with applicable federal regulations, and affordability and use restrictions
incorporated into the loan documents and effective throughout the term of the loan.
• Following approval of FY 2008/09 funding allocations for CDBG and HOME,
individual meetings were 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 CDBG/HOME
Project Agreements, regulatory requirements, project 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. In addition, projects are monitored as applicable for
compliance with federal accounting and procurement standards, labor and construction
standards, relocation, affirmative marketing, equal opportunity, fair housing, and other
federal requirements.
• Following project completion, project sponsors are required to submit Project
Completion Reports identifying: project accomplishments; population served, including
data on household characteristics (e.g., income, ethnicity); rent and/or housing
affordability; and total sources and uses of funds.
• Affordable housing development projects (e.g., acquisition, rehabilitation, new
construction) must also submit annual compliance reports designed to ensure continued
compliance with federal regulations, affordability and use restrictions, and other
requirements as specified in the project loan documents. In addition, all HOME-
assisted projects are subject to periodic onsite inspections to ensure continued
compliance with federal housing quality standards.
F.8.b Non-Housing Community Development Projects and Programs
Monitoring procedures for non-housing projects and programs are similar to those described for
housing projects and programs:
• Prior to funding consideration, all applications are reviewed for consistency with federal
regulations, the Consolidated Plan, and Board of Supervisor policy.
• Following funding approval, project sponsors are required to enter into Project Agreements
which specify: project objectives; scope of work; applicable time lines and performance targets;
relocation and acquisition; Davis-Bacon labor standards; lead-based paint; conflict of interest; federal debarment and suspension;
environmental requirements; historic preservation; and flood insurance.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
39
project budget; federal, state, and local regulatory requirements; and monitoring and reporting
requirements.
• During project implementation, project sponsors are required to submit quarterly progress
reports detailing: project progress toward objectives; problems encountered and their resolution;
and quantitative participation data by ethnicity, income, and household status. Projects are also
subject to an onsite performance and financial audit review on a selective basis. Priority is
given to high-risk programs for onsite performance and/or audit review.
• Quarterly reports and requests for payments are reviewed for both compliance with the Project
Agreement and proper documentation for eligible activities. 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 program/project accomplishments, quantitative participation data or population
served, and total sources and uses of funds.
F.9 Actions to reduce the number of people 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 job opportunities, and to provide
Urban County residents with the skills and abilities required to take advantage of those opportunities.
In FY 2008/09 the CDBG program provided funds for four job training and placement programs:
• The Workforces Services Project (08-41-ED) provided training and job placement for persons
to begin careers in various fields, including health care and bio-science, or improve on their
current job status.
• Opportunities for Technology Information Careers Project (04-40-ED) provided training and
placement for persons to establish careers in computer technology.
• North Richmond Youthbuild Program (08-38-ED) provided on the job training and education to
very low-income youth.
• Street Tech (08-42-ED) provided job training and job placement services to establish careers in
the information technology industry.
Cal WORKS, 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 of government to support its citizens in their self-sufficiency
efforts.
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
40
The County’s implementation of Cal WORKS 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 East Bay One Stop and Career Centers, more commonly known as One Stops; six of which
specifically serve the needs of Contra Costa residents. One Stops are located in Richmond, Hilltop
Mall (also in the City of Richmond), Concord, Pittsburg, Brentwood and San Pablo. The North
Richmond Employment Collaborative opened in November of 1998 and 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 East Bay One Stop and Career Centers offer services to the universal population that include
targeted services for those who are presently receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF) funds. In addition to Job Training Partnership Act funds, the Workforce Investment Board
receive 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.
Opportunities for microenterprise and small business development are facilitated through a Small
Business and Microenterprise Loan Program (08-45-ED) sponsored by the County’s CDBG Program.
The purpose of the program is to stimulate local economic growth by providing loans and technical
assistance to microenterprises and small businesses.
Childcare training programs (08-39-ED) assist low-income persons in establishing themselves as in-
home childcare providers to achieve economic self-sufficiency through self-employment.
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 on page 19.
Appendix E provides a list of all economic development projects funded in FY 2008/09.

H. Summary of Citizen Comments
The CAPER was noticed in accordance with federal requirement on August 28, 2009 in the Contra
Costa Times East, Central and West editions. A notice was posted in the County administration
building on the 1st and 4th floors and was published in the Board of Supervisors Agenda of September
22, 2009. The CAPER is also available online at the Redevelopment Agency’s website
(www.ccreach.org). No written comments were received from the public during the Board of
Supervisors meeting on September 22, 2009.
I. Self-Evaluation: Progress in Meeting Consolidated Plan Goals
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
41
As demonstrated by the preceding discussion, the County is making significant progress in meeting the
goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. During FY 2008/09, CDBG-funded
public service projects provided a wide range of social services and housing to over 22,000 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
offered training and placement services for 45 extremely-low and very-low income persons and assisted
with the creation and expansion of 80 small businesses. Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects created
a variety of infrastructure and accessibility improvements. The County programs constructed or
rehabilitated 269 units of affordable housing.
The County has continued to focus on outcome-based performance measurements as a means to ensure
that needed services are delivered and that the results can be easily quantified. Table G indicates that
the County has far exceeded its goals in every plan priority except Public Services priority CD-2,
Seniors. We will continue to closely monitor programs targeted to seniors and provide ongoing
technical and developmental support to see if the number of seniors assisted can be increased over the
next two years.
The County and the other CDBG jurisdictions (Consortium) continued to consolidate processes and
procedures to limit the administrative burden on our grant programs and on CDBG staff. For example,
the Consortium developed an evaluation tool to be used in determining which programs are to be
monitored and, for projects funded by more than one jurisdiction, determined which Consortium
member would take responsibility for the monitoring, with the resulting report being shared with the
other members. In addition, the City of Richmond, the last County entitlement jurisdiction not
participating, has joined the Consortium for FY 2007/08 and the application process for FY 2008/10.
Table I indicates that the County is on track to meet most of its housing goals. It is exceeding goals set
for apartments affordable to extremely-low income families. (These projects are summarized in
Appendix E.) This success is largely a result of the availability of funds from the State of California’s
Multi-family Housing Program, which places a priority on projects with deep affordability. The County
is not likely to achieve its goals for homeownership. Affordable homeownership is very difficult to
achieve due to the large gap between development costs and affordable home prices. The American
Dream Downpayment Initiative did not provide adequate funds or subsidy levels to help many
homebuyers.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program began in March 2009. The NSP developers have submitted
purchase offers on several homes, but there were no property acquisitions in FY 2008/09. Developers
are actively reviewing sites and expect to close on the first NSP home by the end of October 2009.
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 funding sources such as nine-percent LIHTCs,
tax-exempt bond funds, HUD Section 202/811, and State housing programs, project 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 funds has resulted in an extremely competitive
financing environment in Contra Costa County and the Bay Area, potentially causing lengthy delays in
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
42
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.
Staff continue to ensure that projects funded in the Infrastructure category are completed in a timely
manner. Due to the complexity of some infrastructure/public facilities projects using federal funds (e.g.
NEPA, procurement, prevailing wage requirements, etc.), completion can take up to eighteen months.
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 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 will continue to provide technical assistance to non-profit organizations receiving County
CDBG and HOME funds, including workshops on contracting, budget and payment requests, federal
regulations and other County requirements.

Appendix D — Affirmative Marketing Procedures
The objective of affirmative marketing within the context of the HOME, CDBG, HOPWA, and ESG
Programs is to promote equal access to housing by all groups within the relevant market area. In order
to accomplish this objective in accordance with federal regulations the County has adopted the
following policies and measures:
1. Methods for informing the public, owners, and potential tenants about the HOME, CDBG,
HOPWA, and ESG Programs, federal fair housing laws and the County's affirmative marketing
policy. Information concerning the availability of funding, housing opportunities, and fair
housing and affirmative marketing requirements will be distributed to: the general public; all
jurisdictions and housing agencies located in the County; nonprofit and for-profit owners and
developers of affordable housing; and minority and public interest groups representing the
County's disadvantaged populations. Methods of distribution will include:
a. Press releases to the local news media.
b. Preparation and distribution of an informational brochure describing the HOME, CDBG,
HOPWA, and ESG Programs, including fair housing and affirmative marketing
requirements, and the Equal Housing Opportunity logo.
c. Meetings and workshops with potential applicants for HOME funds (e.g., cities,
developers, current operators and owners of affordable housing).
d. Meetings and workshops with representatives of minority and other disadvantaged groups
in Contra Costa County, including the NAACP, United Council of Spanish Speaking
Organizations, Pacific Community Services, Contra Costa Legal Services Foundation,
North Richmond Neighborhood House, Housing Alliance, and the Chinese American
Political Association.
e. The County will maintain records concerning the above activities, including copies of press
releases, affirmative marketing materials distributed, and workshops and meetings held
with the above groups and organizations.
2. Requirements and practices owners of assisted housing must adhere to in order to carry out the
County's affirmative marketing procedures and requirements. The County will require owners of
federally assisted housing to comply with federal fair housing law and employ the following
affirmative marketing activities:
a. Advertise the availability of assisted units on an equal opportunity basis in local
newspapers and community newsletters, such as those published by minority groups,
neighborhood churches, public service organizations, etc.; and on bulletin boards in
community gathering spots (e.g., community center, church, supermarket, laundromat, fair
housing/housing counseling agency, and employment office).
Contra Costa County FY 2008/09 CAPER DRAFT
49
b. Contact appropriate neighborhood and community organizations and representatives of
minority and other disadvantaged groups to solicit tenants and provide information about
the availability of the assisted units on an equal opportunity basis.
c. Display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo at the project location and in all
advertisements pertaining to assisted units.
3. Special outreach procedures to be used by owners of assisted units to solicit applications from
hard-to-reach populations who may not otherwise apply for residence in these units.
a. In conducting the advertising and outreach activities described in 2.a and b above, owners
of assisted units will be required to solicit the cooperation of appropriate organizations in
the relevant market area in identifying hard-to-reach populations and informing prospective
tenants from these groups of the availability of the units on an equal opportunity basis.
Organizations which may be particularly effective in this effort include community
churches, social service organizations, housing and homeless service providers, and
minority and senior citizen groups. As appropriate, owners may request organizations to
assist in distributing marketing information concerning the availability of rental units
through newsletters, group meetings, and organization and community bulletin boards.
b. Again, all advertisements, workshops, meetings and notices concerning the assisted-units
will emphasize that the units are available on an equal opportunity basis.
4. Record keeping requirements. The County will require recipients of federal funds to keep
records concerning affirmative marketing activities. These records must include copies of
advertisements placed in newspapers/newsletters and on local bulletin boards, as well as lists of
community groups and organizations contacted to solicit tenants. Recipients will also be required
to keep information on relevant tenant characteristics, including ethnic composition, income,
household size, and age and sex of head of household.
5. Assessment of affirmative marketing activities. The County will require the information
compiled in 4 above to be reported annually as a component of the project monitoring process.
Affirmative marketing activities will be evaluated to ensure that an adequate level of activity is
maintained. Tenant characteristics will be compared with population characteristics in the market
area as a further indicator of the effectiveness of the affirmative marketing program and the
absence of discrimination. Where discrepancies exist, the County will work with the project
owner to determine whether additional affirmative marketing measures are required.
Requirements concerning affirmative marketing and fair housing compliance will be incorporated in
contract and loan agreements for all assisted projects. The County will document any complaints
received concerning a project recipient's failure to abide by all fair housing and equal opportunity laws.
All such complaints will be carefully evaluated to determine their validity. In the event that a violation
is identified, the County will inform the recipient and take appropriate action to ensure that the situation
is corrected.

Instructions for the HOME Match Report
3.Total match available for current Federal fiscal
year: The sum of excess match carried over from the
prior Federal fiscal year (Part II. line 1) and the total
match contribution for the current Federal fiscal year
(Part II. line 2). This sum is the total match available
for the Federal fiscal year.
4.Match liability for current Federal fiscal year: The
amount of match liability is available from HUD and
is provided periodically to PJs. The match must be
provided in the current year. The amount of match that
must be provided is based on the amount of HOME
funds drawn from the U.S. Treasury for HOME projects.
The amount of match required equals 25% of the
amount drawn down for HOME projects during the
Federal fiscal year. Excess match may be carried over
and used to meet match liability for subsequent years
(see Part II line 5). Funds drawn down for administra-
tive costs, CHDO operating expenses, and CHDO
capacity building do not have to be matched. Funds
drawn down for CHDO seed money and/or technical
assistance loans do not have to be matched if the
project does not go forward. A jurisdiction is allowed
to get a partial reduction (50%) of match if it meets one
of two statutory distress criteria, indicating “fiscal
distress,” or else a full reduction (100%) of match if it
meets both criteria, indicating “severe fiscal distress.”
The two criteria are poverty rate (must be equal to or
greater than 125% of the average national family
poverty rate to qualify for a reduction) and per capita
income (must be less than 75% of the national average
per capita income to qualify for a reduction). In
addition, a jurisdiction can get a full reduction if it is
declared a disaster area under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Act.
Applicability:
The HOME Match Report is part of the HOME APR and
must be filled out by every participating jurisdiction that
incurred a match liability. Match liability occurs when FY
1993 funds (or subsequent year funds) are drawn down
from the U.S. Treasury for HOME projects. A Participat-
ing Jurisdiction (PJ) may start counting match contribu-
tions as of the beginning of Federal Fiscal Year 1993
(October 1, 1992). A jurisdiction not required to submit
this report, either because it did not incur any match or
because it had a full match reduction, may submit a HOME
Match Report if it wishes. The match would count as
excess match that is carried over to subsequent years. The
match reported on this form must have been contributed
during the reporting period (between October 1 and Sep-
tember 30).
Timing:
This form is to be submitted as part of the HOME APR on
or before December 31. The original is sent to the HUD
Field Office. One copy is sent to the
Office of Affordable Housing Programs, CGHF
Room 7176, HUD, 451 7th Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20410.
The participating jurisdiction also keeps a copy.
Instructions for Part II:
1.Excess match from prior Federal fiscal year: Excess
match carried over from prior Federal fiscal year.
2.Match contributed during current Federal fiscal
year: The total amount of match contributions for all
projects listed under Part III in column 9 for the
Federal fiscal year.
5.Excess match carried over to next Federal fiscal
year: The total match available for the current Federal
fiscal year (Part II. line 3) minus the match liability for
the current Federal fiscal year (Part II. line 4). Excess
match may be carried over and applied to future HOME
project match liability.
Instructions for Part III:
1.Project No. or Other ID: “Project number” is as-
signed by the C/MI System when the PJ makes a
project setup call. These projects involve at least some
Treasury funds. If the HOME project does not involve
Treasury funds, it must be identified with “other ID” as
follows: the fiscal year (last two digits only), followed
by a number (starting from “01” for the first non-
Treasury-funded project of the fiscal year), and then at
least one of the following abbreviations: “SF” for
project using shortfall funds, “PI” for projects using
program income, and “NON” for non-HOME-assisted
affordable housing. Example: 93.01.SF, 93.02.PI,
93.03.NON, etc.
Shortfall funds are non-HOME funds used to make up
the difference between the participation threshold and
the amount of HOME funds allocated to the PJ; the
participation threshold requirement applies only in the
PJ’s first year of eligibility. [§92.102]
Program income (also called “repayment income”) is
any return on the investment of HOME funds. This
income must be deposited in the jurisdiction’s HOME
account to be used for HOME projects. [§92.503(b)]
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 45 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number.
The HOME statute imposes a significant number of data collection and reporting requirements. This includes information on assisted properties, on the owners or tenants of the properties, and on other
programmatic areas. The information will be used: 1) to assist HOME participants in managing their programs; 2) to track performance of participants in meeting fund commitment and expenditure
deadlines; 3) to permit HUD to determine whether each participant meets the HOME statutory income targeting and affordability requirements; and 4) to permit HUD to determine compliance with other
statutory and regulatory program requirements. This data collection is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act or related authorities. Access to Federal grant
funds is contingent on the reporting of certain project-specific data elements. Records of information collected will be maintained by the recipients of the assistance. Information on activities and
expenditures of grant funds is public information and is generally available for disclosure. Recipients are responsible for ensuring confidentiality when public disclosure is not required.
form HUD-40107-A (12/94)page 4 of 4 pages
Non-HOME-assisted affordable housing is investment
in housing not assisted by HOME funds that would
qualify as “affordable housing” under the HOME Pro-
gram definitions. “NON” funds must be contributed to
a specific project; it is not sufficient to make a contri-
bution to an entity engaged in developing affordable
housing. [§92.219(b)]
2.Date of Contribution: Enter the date of contribution.
Multiple entries may be made on a single line as long as
the contributions were made during the current fiscal
year. In such cases, if the contributions were made at
different dates during the year, enter the date of the last
contribution.
3.Cash: Cash contributions from non-Federal resources.
This means the funds are contributed permanently to the
HOME Program regardless of the form of investment the
jurisdiction provides to a project. Therefore all repay-
ment, interest, or other return on investment of the con-
tribution must be deposited in the PJ’s HOME account to
be used for HOME projects. The PJ, non-Federal public
entities (State/local governments), private entities, and
individuals can make contributions. The grant equiva-
lent of a below-market interest rate loan to the project is
eligible when the loan is not repayable to the PJ’s HOME
account. [§92.220(a)(1)] In addition, a cash contribution
can count as match if it is used for eligible costs defined
under §92.206 (except administrative costs and CHDO
operating expenses) or under §92.209, or for the follow-
ing non-eligible costs: the value of non-Federal funds
used to remove and relocate ECHO units to accommo-
date eligible tenants, a project reserve account for re-
placements, a project reserve account for unanticipated
increases in operating costs, operating subsidies, or costs
relating to the portion of a mixed-income or mixed-use
project not related to the affordable housing units.
[§92.219(c)]
4.Foregone Taxes, Fees, Charges: Taxes, fees, and charges
that are normally and customarily charged but have been
waived, foregone, or deferred in a manner that achieves
affordability of the HOME-assisted housing. This in-
cludes State tax credits for low-income housing develop-
ment. The amount of real estate taxes may be based on the
post-improvement property value. For those taxes, fees,
or charges given for future years, the value is the present
discounted cash value. [§92.220(a)(2)]
5.Appraised Land/Real Property: The appraised value,
before the HOME assistance is provided and minus
any debt burden, lien, or other encumbrance, of land or
other real property, not acquired with Federal re-
sources. The appraisal must be made by an indepen-
dent, certified appraiser. [§92.220(a)(3)]
6.Required Infrastructure: The cost of investment, not
made with Federal resources, in on-site and off-site
infrastructure directly required for HOME-assisted
affordable housing. The infrastructure must have been
completed no earlier than 12 months before HOME
funds were committed. [§92.220(a)(4)]
7.Site preparation, Construction materials, Donated
labor: The reasonable value of any site-preparation
and construction materials, not acquired with Federal
resources, and any donated or voluntary labor (see
§92.354(b)) in connection with the site-preparation
for, or construction or rehabilitation of, affordable
housing. The value of site-preparation and construc-
tion materials is determined in accordance with the
PJ’s cost estimate procedures. The value of donated or
voluntary labor is determined by a single rate (“labor
rate”) to be published annually in the Notice Of Fund-
ing Availability (NOFA) for the HOME Program.
[§92.220(6)]
8.Bond Financing: Multifamily and single-family
project bond financing must be validly issued by a
State or local government (or an agency, instrumental-
ity, or political subdivision thereof). 50% of a loan
from bond proceeds made to a multifamily affordable
housing project owner can count as match. 25% of a
loan from bond proceeds made to a single-family
affordable housing project owner can count as match.
Loans from all bond proceeds, including excess bond
match from prior years, may not exceed 25% of a PJ’s
total annual match contribution. [§92.220(a)(5)] The
amount in excess of the 25% cap for bonds may carry
over, and the excess will count as part of the statutory
limit of up to 25% per year. Requirements regarding
bond financing as an eligible source of match will be
available upon publication of the implementing regu-
lation early in FY 1994.
9.Total Match: Total of items 3 through 8. This is the
total match contribution for each project identified in
item 1.
Ineligible forms of match include:
1. Contributions made with or derived from Federal re-
sources e.g. CDBG funds [§92.220(b)(1)]
2. Interest rate subsidy attributable to the Federal tax-
exemption on financing or the value attributable to
Federal tax credits [§92.220(b)(2)]
3. Contributions from builders, contractors or investors,
including owner equity, involved with HOME-assisted
projects. [§92.220(b)(3)]
4. Sweat equity [§92.220(b)(4)]
5. Contributions from applicants/recipients of HOME
assistance [§92.220(b)(5)]
6. Fees/charges that are associated with the HOME Pro-
gram only, rather than normally and customarily
charged on all transactions or projects [§92.220(a)(2)]
7. Administrative costs
