BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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.
On September 13, 2007 the City of Concord issued a Request for Proposal RFP #2105 for
its Single Family Residential Rehabilitation Program Administration. Following review of
the proposals submitted, City of Concord determined that Contra Costa County
Neighborhood Preservation Program (CCCNPP) is best qualified to administer the program
on behalf of the City. The County and City entered into two (2) contracts that will expire on
June 30, 2010.
The City of Concord wishes to enter into new contracts with CCCNPP to administer its
Single Family and Mobile Home Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Programs. The City
receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from HUD as an entitlement
to the City pursuant to the provisions of Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended.
The City, through its Redevelopment Agency also maintains a Low and Moderate Income
Housing fund as required by the state redevelopment law to be used to increase, improve
and preserve the supply of the City’s low and moderate income housing.
The City has approved and authorized the expenditure of revolving loan fund income
received from repayments for loan principal and interest earned from loans previously made
with City Low and Moderate Income Housing funds for owner-occupied housing
rehabilitation loan program for single-family residences, including mobile homes, in
Concord. For fiscal year 2010-2011, CITY has $254,541 of CDBG funds and $700,000 in
RDA funds.
The City of Concord will pay the County a minimum of $500 for each loan and grant up to
a maximum of 20 percent of the loan or grant amount as compensation for the services
provided by the County to the City of Concord.
