(HOPWA)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
states and localities with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting
the housing needs of persons with HIV/AIDS and related diseases.
The City of Oakland distributes the funds to Contra Costa County on a formula basis. The
County administers these funds on behalf of the Urban County and other Contra Costa
entitlement jurisdictions (the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond, and Walnut
Creek). These funds may be used for acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of
housing; supportive services; housing information services; and certain other housing
related activities for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS.
The purpose of the Riley Court housing project is to improve 48 units of rental housing
affordable to and occupied by lower income families, including those with HIV/AIDS in
Concord and Central County. Resources for Community Development (RCD) is the
developer of the project, which involves the rehabilitation of 41-one bedroom units and
7-two bedroom units. Five of the one bedroom units will be designated for persons living
with HIV/AIDS. In accordance with HOPWA regulations, RCD will contract with the HSD
Homeless Program to be the lead service agency and direct provider of services to residents
of Riley Court. RCD acquired the property in 1997 with financing from the Contra Costa
County HOME program, the City of Concord, and other sources. The City of Concord is
supportive of this project; City staff plans to take a $300,000 funding recommendation to
the City Council.
Staff will return to the Board at a later date with legal documents for HOPWA and CEQA
approval.
