Subject:Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA) Funding Agreements between the City of
Oakland and County of Contra Costa.
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
FEDERAL DOMESTIC ASSISTANCE (CFDA NUMBER):
Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA) Program – 14.241
BACKGROUND:
The National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 101-625, approved November 28, 1990)
authorizes the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA) to provide
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 (City) is the HOPWA grant recipient for Alameda and Contra Costa
counties. The City allocates the HOPWA funds between the City and counties on a fair
share allocation basis. Approval of a funding agreement with the City of Oakland will
provide $606,049 in FY 2011 funds to the County as administering agent 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.
County Conservation and Development (DCD) and Health Services Departments (HSD)
staff coordinate periodically to identify and address the housing and housing-related service
needs of low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in Contra Costa. HSD HIV/AIDs program
activities include 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.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the board does not approve the FY 2011 HOPWA funding agreement with the City of
Oakland, the County would not receive and administer $606,049 in HOPWA funds.
Low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in the County would lose vital housing and supportive
services.
