Subject:FY 2011/12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
HUD uses the CAPER to evaluate whether: (1) the County has carried out projects/programs as described in its
Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan; (2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA assisted activities are eligible
and meet a national objective, and if expenditures meet certain statutory requirements; and (3) the County has
demonstrated a continuing capacity to carry out is 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 year
in addressing identified priority needs and objectives.
The County also received Community Development Block Grant-Recovery (CDBG-R) and Homeless Prevention and
Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds in FY 2008/09. These funds were provided through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition, the County received Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds
through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. CDBG-R, HPRP, and
NSP activities are also included in the County's FY 2011/12 CAPER.
Highlights of the CAPER include the following:
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County received $6.8 million in FY 2011/12 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds for use in
accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
The County expended $7.64 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 for projects that were completed during the year, $9.26 was
leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
Over 21,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs.
49 people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs.
187 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs.
4 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
105 affordable rental housing units for seniors were completed.
70 affordable rental housing units for seniors were under construction.
153 affordable rental housing units for low-income families were completed.
34 homes were purchased or rehabilitated.
10 foreclosed homes were purchased and 9 were resold to low and moderate income buyers.
15 transitional housing units were under construction.
14 of the 15 CDBG-R projects have been completed.
513 households received homeless prevention and rapid re-housing assistance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the CAPER would mean the County would not be able to submit it to HUD on time and therefore
jeopardize future funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Many of the projects/programs funded with CDBG, CDBG-R, HOME, ESG, NSP, HOPWA, and HPRP funds
support one or more of the five community outcomes established in the Children's Report Cards.

DRAFT - Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER 1
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 extremely-low, very-low and low-income 2. The
purpose of the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) program is to expand the supply of decent,
safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for extremely-low, 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 program3. In addition to CDBG and HOME, the County receives Emergency
Solutions 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 rental and homeownership opportunities, and expanded the availability of employment,
recreation, homeless services, health services, childcare, and other social services in Contra Costa.
The County also received Community Development Block Grant-Recovery (CDBG-R) and Homeless
Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds in FY 2008/09. These funds were provided through
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition, the County received Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP) funds through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and the
Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. CDBG-R, HPRP, and NSP activities and accomplishments are also included
in the County's FY 2011/12 CAPER.
In compliance with federal regulations, in April 2010 the County and the Consortium members adopted
the FY 2010 - 2015 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 2011/12 provides an analysis of the progress the County has made
in the second year of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, and the FY 2011/12 Action Plan for the CDBG,
HOME, ESG, HOPWA 4, CDBG-R, HPRP, and NSP programs.
1 The County’s eligible area, known as the Urban County, is the entire County, except for 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.
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.

(b) $14.7 million of the unexpended balance is committed to projects not yet completed. In addition, $0.1 million is set-aside in the Small Business/
Microenterprise Revolving Loan Fund. Unallocated housing funds from the line of credit, recaptured funds from project allocations, and a portion of
program income (80% for CDBG, not including the revolving loan fund income, and 90% for HOME) are combined and named the Housing
Development Assistance Fund (HDAF). HDAF allocations are made available to affordable housing projects that develop during the program year.
C. Leveraging of Resources of FY 2011/12 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 2011/12.

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 is committed to allocating funds that serve
the needs of the lowest income and most disadvantaged residents. The County funds Community
Development activities under four different categories: Public Service (CD-1 through CD-4), Fair
Housing (CD-5), Economic Development (CD-6), Infrastructure/Public Facilities (CD-7) and Homeless
Services (H-1 and H-2).
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
hunger, substance abuse, 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 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,
victims of domestic violence, abused children, persons with HIV/AIDS, illiterate adults, and
migrant farm workers.
CD-5 Fair Housing: Continue to promote fair housing activities and affirmatively further fair housing.
CD-6 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.
CD-7 Infrastructure/Public Facilities: Maintain quality public facilities and adequate infrastructure,
and ensure access for the mobility impaired by addressing physical access barriers to public
facilities.
CD-8 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.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER

H-1 Homeless Services: Assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless by providing
emergency, transitional, and permanent affordable housing with appropriate supportive
services.
H-2 Homeless Services: Reduce incidence of homelessness and assist in alleviating the needs of the
homeless.
A.2. Accomplishments
Appendix E (Completed and Ongoing Projects) describes the accomplishments achieved in the
categories of Public Service, Fair Housing, Economic Development , Infrastructure/Public Facilities
and, Homeless Services. 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 categories.

C. Changes to the Program
The County made the following changes its Programs during the year:
Substantial Amendment - Transition to Emergency Solutions Grant and Allocation of Additional Funds:
The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act),
enacted into law on May 20, 2009, consolidated three of the separate homeless assistance programs
administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the McKinney-
Vento Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program, and revised the Emergency Shelter Grants
program and renamed it the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program. The change in the program’s
name reflects the change in the focus of the program from addressing the needs of homeless people in
emergency or transitional shelters to assisting people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing
after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness. HUD notified the County that it was eligible to
receive an additional $85,163 in ESG funding for FY 2011/12.
The new ESG regulations limit the amount to be allocated to street outreach and emergency shelter
activities to 60 percent of the grant amount or the amount allocated in FY 2010/11, whichever is greater.
Because the County allocated its entire FY 2011/12 ESG grant for emergency shelter activities, the
additional ESG funding had to be used for the new services outlined in the regulations - specifically
homeless prevention and rapid rehousing activities. On January 17, 2012, the Board approved the
allocation of $73,797 ($49,198 in direct client assistance and $24,599 in project delivery costs) to
Shelter, Inc. to provide additional rapid re-housing services to assist approximately 21 homeless
households move into permanent housing. In addition, $11,366 was allocated to the Department of
Conservation and Development to cover administrative costs.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER

D. Economic Stimulus Programs
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 17, 2009, in an effort to jumpstart the economy, create or save 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; promote energy conservation, smart
growth, green building technology, or reduce pollution emissions.
On May 8, 2009, 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 received
CDBG-R funds (see Appendix E for list of CDBG-R projects, including project status as of June 30,
2012). 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.
As of June 30, 2012, 13 CDBG-R projects have been completed and the other one is underway and is
expected to be completed by September 30, 2012. A final close-out report will be submitted via
FederalReports.gov including information on the total number of jobs created/retained.
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP)
The Recovery Act also 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.
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.
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 was selected to act as the County-wide lead agency in this program. HPRP partner
agencies include Rubicon Programs, Catholic Charities of the East Bay, Greater Richmond Interfaith
Program (GRIP), and Bay Area Legal Aid. The program started on September 23, 2009.
As of June 30, 2012, the program has provided almost $656,000 in Homeless Prevention and Rapid
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
12
Rehousing direct client assistance to 1,296 persons in 513 households. In addition, $746,000 was
provided for staff and operating costs to create and retain jobs. All allocated funds have been expended.
Nearly 99 percent has been drawn down from the County’s IDIS account and the balance will be drawn
well before the November 7, 2012, deadline.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
The County has received two allocations of Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds: NSP1
($6,019,051) and NSP3 ($1,871,294). NSP provides targeted emergency assistance to state and local
governments to acquire and redevelop abandoned and foreclosed residential properties that might
otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within our communities. Appendix E includes
NSP accomplishments.
E. Consolidated Plan Implementation/Certifications
As indicated in the discussion on leveraging in Section II.C on Page 4, the County diligently pursued
resources identified in the annual Action Plan and Consolidated Plan.
During FY 2011/12, 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 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 staff works with other County departments to coordinate efforts in providing comprehensive
services and programs that assist in implementation of the Consolidated Plan goals.
F. Displacement Narrative
Priority in the allocation of federal funds is given 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 project
legal 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 developer/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 year, one additional tenant voluntarily moved from the property acquired by Resources for
Community Development for the Berrellesa Palms (08-55-HSG / 09-50-HM) housing project.

G. 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 is being contemplated. If an update is prepared, it is expected to include an assessment of
current conditions, establish new benchmarks and identify short-term and long-term goals to be
achieved.
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 (11-08-PS)
continues to receive CDBG funding. The Center is host to many community meetings and events
and is home to a number of programs providing education and social services to seniors and other
special needs populations. CDBG funds are provided for operation and staffing of the Center that
serves approximately 250 people per year.
• The Verde School Service Learning project (11-27-PS) sponsored by Urban Tilth uses a hands-
on approach to learning that integrates traditional curriculum requirements with real-world
situations. A total of 390 students participated in this program during the school year.
• Road to Success: Family Day Care Development Project (11-41-ED) sponsored by the Contra
Costa Child Care Council, provides opportunities for low-income women to develop in-home day
care centers in North Richmond and Bay Point. Road to Success: Family Day Care Development
Project assisted 58 low-income residents open a family daycare business.
• The Strengthening Neighborhood Economies Commercial Corridor project (11-45-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, 51 aspiring, start-up and established
small businesses were assisted. With the BDC’s help 13 new businesses were opened, and 64
new jobs were created in the area.
• The Workforce Services Project (11-43-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 20 people were
trained and placed in jobs earning an average of $10.00 per hour.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER

• The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, administered by the Employment and
Human Services Department, aims to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their
families, improve the quality of care and services to children and their families, and ensure
permanency from children by reuniting them with their parents, by adoption, or by another
permanent living arrangement.
• The Neighborhood Preservation Program operated by the County Building Inspection Division of
the Department of Conservation and Development, provides low and zero interest loans to owner
occupants for home rehabilitation. Since approval of the NRSA, 15 units owned and occupied by
very-low and low-income households in North Richmond have been rehabilitated through this
program.
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 were 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.
• Community Energy Services Corporation is implementing the Healthy Homes program which
provides education and home improvements to remove asthma triggers from homes.
California Redevelopment Agencies were eliminated on January 1, 2012. Therefore, there were limited
activities undertaken in North Richmond during FY 2011/12:
• All work on the North Richmond Specific Plan was suspended indefinitely. The preparation
of the North Richmond Specific Plan was being funded by the County Redevelopment
Agency; the Redevelopment Agency was in essence the "applicant" for the Specific Plan.
Additionally, the Specific Plan had assumed that the financing and construction of backbone
infrastructure needed for the 200(+) acre Specific Plan area was to be substantially funded
through the County Redevelopment Agency. Since the Redevelopment Agency no longer
exists, no entity (public or private) has come forward to assume the applicant role as the
replacement for the County Redevelopment Agency.
• Improved community service delivery by executing a Commercial Rehabilitation Loan
Agreement with Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond to renovate
additional office space. The renovation is underway and involves tenant improvements of
approximately 1,000 square feet of empty space on the ground floor of 1535–E Third Street,
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
15
adjacent to the North Richmond Health Center and County Service Integration Team. Specific
improvements include upgrades to the ceiling, walls, floors, electrical, doors, and accessory
details.
• Leveraged funds with the County Public Works Department and Metropolitan Transportation
Committee for the Market Avenue Sidewalk Improvement Project. The project includes
planning, design and construction of improvements along Market Avenue, from 7th to Soto
Streets. Additional construction consists of pedestrian improvements on the north side of Market
Avenue, including, but not limited to: curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, mapping, drainage,
and work conformity for adjacent industrial properties.
• Under the guidelines of the Unified Development Program, the Agency has acquired 6 parcels
necessary for development of “Heritage Point” which is a mixed-use residential development
along the eastern side of Third Street, the North Richmond Town Center. The Agency also
entered into a predevelopment loan agreement with Community Housing Development
Corporation of North Richmond to initiate Phase II.
H. 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, and
underserved communities. The practice of the County is to serve a minimum of 75 percent extremely-
low and very-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

Section IV. HOME and CDBG Housing Narratives
The Contra Costa Consortium Five-Year Plan establishes the following priorities for affordable housing
programs and projects:
AH-1: Expand housing opportunities for extremely low-income, very low-income, low-income, and
moderate-income households through an increase in the supply of decent, safe, and affordable
rental housing and rental assistance.
AH-2: Increase homeownership opportunities.
AH-3: Maintain and preserve the existing affordable housing stock.
AH-4: Reduce the number and impact of home foreclosures.
AH-5: Increase the supply of appropriate and supportive housing for special needs populations.
AH-6: Preserve existing special needs housing.
AH-7: Adapt or modify existing housing to meet the needs of special needs populations.
AH-8: Improve access to services for those in special needs housing.
H-1: Assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless by providing emergency, transitional,
and permanent affordable housing with appropriate supportive services.
A. Allocation of Funds
During FY 2011/12, the County allocated CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds in a manner consistent
with the above 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 $105,256 in FY 2011/12, and realized a total match of
$1,196,373. 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 2011/12 include:
• A total of zero contracts and sub-contracts.
• Zero percent of all contracts were with women-owned firms.
• Zero percent of all contracts were with minority-owned businesses.
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.
Each year, DCD staff inspects 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 FY 2011/12, the County performed on-site inspections of 118 HOME-assisted projects. Table H
summarizes onsite inspections conducted over the current reporting period.

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 24 and Appendix D on page 45 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. The Affordable Housing Program Manager is responsible for compliance
with Section 504.
G. Slow Moving Projects
During the current program year, Contra Costa made limited 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. This year has been especially difficult because
in order to pass the State budget, redevelopment agencies were eliminated. This has further reduced the
amount of leverage funds available to affordable housing projects. 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 housing table in Appendix E includes projects that have been designated as delayed (or slow-moving).
Slow moving projects include the following:
Woods Grove Apartments, Pittsburg: BRIDGE Housing has not been successful in competing for nine
percent low income housing tax credits (9% credits). It will apply again in 2013 when it will qualify for the
preservation set-aside.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
21
Third Avenue Apartments, Walnut Creek: Satellite Housing was unsuccessful with its applications for
HUD 811 and then 9% credits. HUD no longer offers capital funds for new Section 811 projects. In
California, to be competitive for 9% credits projects must have significant local funds. While the
elimination of redevelopment will reduce the amount of local funds, there are still many projects in the
pipe-line with existing redevelopment commitments. Satellite is evaluating financing options, but will
continue to pursue this project.
Tabora Gardens, Antioch: Satellite Housing was unsuccessful with its application for HUD 202 funds. In
fact, there were no HUD 202 awards in Alameda or Contra Costa counties in the past year. Satellite will
apply for 9% credits when it feels that the project will be competitive.
Moraga House Group Home, Lafayette: Las Trampas Inc. completed the rehabilitation of its group home
for adults with developmental disabilities in 2011. It is currently working the Regional Center to change its
target population from adults to older adults. It expects this change will be approved and tenants will move
in later in 2012.

Section V. HOPWA Narrative—HIV/AIDS
DCD and Health Services Department (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.
Activities during FY 2011/12 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 $2,394,809 in FY 2011/12 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: $745,372 for medical case management, $13,000 for emergency financial
assistance, and $1,607,846 for other support services such as food, mental health, substance abuse, respite
care, transportation, legal services, early intervention services, outreach, health education and risk
reduction groups, and oral care.
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 sub recipients on a competitive application basis.
During FY 2011/12, 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 $23,490 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.
Section VI. ESG Narrative
Contra Costa County receives an annual allocation of federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds
through HUD. In FY 2011/12, the County received an initial allocation of $151,401 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. Most of the current ESG applicants are granted
CDBG funds from both the County and one or more entitlement cities.
In January, 2012, HUD notified the County that it was eligible to receive an additional $85,163. Due to
limitations imposed by new ESG regulations, these funds were allocated to Rapid Rehousing Services.
The Substantial Amendment for this action and additional information regarding the allocation can be
found under “Changes to the Program” on page 10.
Additional information on actions to address the needs of the homeless population in Contra Costa can be
found in Section III, Recommendations, of the Continuum of Care Plan, and Appendix E, Public Service
projects and ESG projects.

The County exceeded many of its five year goals. See Table G on page 16 and Table I on page 22 for the
five-year assessment.
B. Location of Projects (Investments) and Public Participation (Beneficiaries)
See Appendix E for a status of projects including location and project beneficiaries.
C. Fair Housing
In FY 2009/10 Urban County staff together with staff from the other Contra Costa CDBG entitlement
jurisdictions (Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond, and Walnut Creek) worked together to prepare the
Contra Costa Consortium Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Board of Supervisors
adopted the AI on behalf of the Urban County on May 26, 2010. The AI is available on the County website
at http://www.ccreach.org/ccc_cdbg/2010-15%20AI%20Final.pdf.
Over the past year, the County continued working with its Subrecipients to help overcome or eliminate
impediments to fair housing choice identified in the 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 2011/12, 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 and its partner agencies distributed fair housing literature at more than ten events
throughout the County. Outreach focused on low income communities, many with significant numbers of
Spanish speaking residents.
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 37 Mortgage Credit Certificate was provided to low-income households in FY 2011/12.
D. Affordable Housing
See Section IV HOME and CDBG Housing Narratives.
E. Contra Costa Interagency Council on Homelessness
County actions to address the needs of homeless populations through the allocation of FY 2011/12 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 CCICH (formerly known as the Continuum of Care Board) to
address the needs of homeless populations during FY 2011/12.
During FY 2011/12, 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 $9.8 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 pages 26- 27.
Additional resources allocated to the maintenance of existing homeless programs include $660,383 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 $111,727 in FEMA resources used to provide emergency shelter, food, emergency rental
assistance and other assistance to homeless populations.
In October, 2011, under the working name “Synergy House”, the County began to rehabilitate an existing
vacant residential building in Martinez and convert it to a sober living transitional housing program for
homeless single men completing substance abuse treatment programs. The new facility is directly adjacent
to a recently constructed treatment facility, Discovery House. Synergy House will add 12 new beds to the
homeless continuum of care and offer Contra Costa homeless, single men completing treatment programs
such as Discovery House to transition back into the community with the skills and resources necessary to
maintain their sobriety. It is expected that Synergy House will be ready for occupancy in January, 2013.
The primary goals of this and all emergency housing programs are to get homeless persons off of the
street, provide comprehensive services to assist persons in finding permanent housing and provide
services that assist each person to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency. Services include: case
management, medical care, enrollment in benefits and health coverage, referral for alcohol/other drugs
detox and residential treatment services, meals, and housing search assistance.

Other Actions to Assist the Homeless
During FY 2011/12, in support of the County’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, Project Homeless
Connect 8 (PHC8) was held on June 14, 2012, in Concord. Over 800 homeless individuals attended the
event and accessed a variety of health and social services in one convenient location. Services included
health care, dental exams/cleanings, haircuts, manicures and pedicures, state-issued identification cards,
and homeless court. PHC8 also hosted Clean Slate court proceedings and services. Clean Slate provides
remedies to persons with criminal records that pose barriers to housing, employment, etc.
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
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
28
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 2010 Census and American Community Survey, 33 percent of Contra Costa County’s
population speaks a language other than English. The two main non-English languages spoken in Contra
Costa County are Spanish (17.5 percent) and Asian and Pacific Island languages (9.3 percent).
Approximately 70 percent of Contra Costa County’s Hispanic population speaks Spanish, and 45 percent
of Hispanics who speak Spanish, speak English “less than very well”. In addition, 59 percent of Contra
Costa County’s Asian and Pacific Islander populations speak a language other than English, and according
to a sampling, 23 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander population speaks English “less than very
well”. 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. 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. The County has contracted with an outside consultant to provide State and
court certified interpreters that assist in verbal communication and to also provide translation of vital
documents. County newspaper notices for public meetings and document review include a phone number
for persons with special needs to call. The County will make reasonable accommodations for persons with
special needs to attend meetings, address the Board of Supervisors, and make comments on documents.
Persons with speech or hearing disabilities may call the CDBG program offices through a 711 relay
operator.
The County continually monitors subrecipients to ensure funded agencies are doing whatever possible to
provide limited-English speaking residents full and complete access to services. Many agencies report that
they have translated their brochures into different languages, have multi-lingual staff, and target outreach
activities to LEP populations. For example, Bay Area Legal Aid has an information page on its website
for non-English speakers. http://www.baylegal.org/No-English/ 211 Contra Costa (part of the national,
toll-free, three-digit phone number to call for information about local health and social services) has
Spanish language resource guides on its home page. http://65.166.193.134/IFTWSQL4/cccc/public.aspx

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 starting on page 17.
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 significant constraints on the development of affordable housing in Contra Costa. In
addition, the current economic downturn and elimination of redevelopment agencies have made it much
more difficult to obtain funding for affordable housing development. The County attempts to counter these
factors with strategies and subsidy programs to develop affordable rental housing and homeownership
opportunities (See Section IV).
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. However, 2010 court decisions have made the rental housing component of
the Ordinance un-enforceable.
• 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 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.
F.5 Actions to overcome gaps in the institutional structure
DCD 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
For FY 2011/12 the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program received $80.9 million in
funding. The Housing Authority’s aim is to administer the HCV 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:
HCV Program - The Housing Authority's HCV program utilizes all available HUD funding to house
6,321 families. If additional funding becomes available, the Housing Authority can provide up to
6,783 vouchers.
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 157 families currently participating in the FSS program of which 46
families, or about 29%, 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 314 individuals/families. There are 43 households in the Shelter
Plus Care program that are also 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 period negotiated by the property owners in a contract with
HUD and administered by the Housing Authority. There are currently 25 units leased with 28 units
under contract.
Project Based Vouchers (PBV) - In 2011/12, HACCC selected four additional developments based on
a competitive RFP process conducted by the County Redevelopment Department. HACCC
submitted commitment letters to enter into Housing Assistance Contracts (HAP) with each of the
four project’s owner for an initial term of fifteen years for each contract unit. The proposed
property sites will serve senior & disabled clients in Concord, Martinez, Lafayette & Orinda.
Capital Fund Program - Public Housing Modernization - During FY 2011/12, HACCC expended
approximately $1.7 million for modernization improvements to its public housing developments.
Interior modernization projects were performed at the El Pueblo, Bayo Vista and Vista del Camino
developments. Gutters and foundation work were completed at The Alhambra Terrace
development in Martinez. Combination Carbon Monoxide / Smoke detectors were installed at all
public housing sites in accordance with state law.

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, and
cooking classes. 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.
The Young Adult Empowerment Center offers free job and life skills classes for young adults ages 16 to
18. These classes include resume writing, computer skills and career planning. In 2011, HACCC,
through a grant from the Workforce Development Board, assisted the out of school youths in the
North Richmond community with resume writing, computer skills and career planning. HACCC
also worked in collaboration with a nonprofit agency, to receive $90,000 from the WIA Adult and
Dislocated Worker Grants. HACCC and the nonprofit agency used these funds to provide case
management services to approximately fifty young adults and dislocated workers in the
Rodeo/Crockett area.
The federal government has eliminated the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP). HACCC
continued to fund and support the community-oriented policing program for 2010/11. HACCC
supported two Deputy Sheriffs and drug prevention activities offered at the Las Deltas
development in North Richmond and the Bayo Vista development in Rodeo.
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, NSP, 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.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
32
• All project sponsors receiving an allocation of CDBG, NSP, or ESG 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 requirements 5, and monitoring and reporting requirements. In 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 2011/12 funding allocations for CDBG and HOME, 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 periodic 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
local housing code.
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.
5Includes compliance with federal regulations concerning: equal opportunity and fair housing; affirmative marketing; displacement, relocation
and acquisition; Davis-Bacon labor standards; Section 3 and vicinity hiring; lead-based paint; conflict of interest; federal debarment and
suspension; environmental requirements; historic preservation; and flood insurance.
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
33
• 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; 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 onsite and/or desk performance and financial audit reviews 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 Year-end or 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 2011/12, the CDBG program provided funds for three job training and placement programs:
• Opportunity Junction’s Opportunities for Technology Information Careers Program (11-42-ED)
provided training and placement for persons to establish careers in computer technology.
• Rubicon Programs, Inc., Project Independence Project (11-43-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.
• The Stride Center’s Tech Job Training/Placement Program (11-44-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.
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
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
34
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, Antioch, 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 One Stops 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 (11-48-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, such as the Road to Success Program (11-41-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 18.
Appendix E provides a list of all economic development projects funded in FY 2011/12.

H. Summary of Citizen Comments
Pursuant to the County’s Citizen Participation Plan, on September 1, 2012 a notice announcing the
availability of the draft CAPER was published in the Contra Costa Times East, Central and West editions,
and posted in the County administration building on the 1st and 4th floors. In addition, the draft CAPER
was available online at (www.ccreach.org). The draft CAPER was considered by the Board of Supervisor
at their regularly scheduled meeting on September 25, 2012, when they unanimously approved the
submittal of the County’s FY 2011/12 CAPER to HUD.

I. Self-Evaluation: Progress in Meeting Consolidated Plan Goals
In May 2010 the Contra Costa Consortium adopted a new Five-Year (FY 2010 – 2015) Consolidated Plan
and a new Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Both of these documents are available on the
County’s website at http://www.ccreach.org/ccc_cdbg/2010-15%20Con%20Plan%20Final.pdf, and
http://www.ccreach.org/ccc_cdbg/2010-15%20AI%20Final.pdf
As demonstrated by the preceding discussion, the County has made significant progress in meeting the
goals and objectives contained in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. During FY 2011/12, CDBG-funded
public service projects provided a wide range of social services and housing to over 21,000 Urban County
residents and households, including the homeless, mentally and physically disabled, seniors, victims of
domestic violence, and other special needs populations. Economic development programs offered training
and placement services for 49 lower income persons and assisted with the creation and expansion of 187
small businesses. Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects created a variety of infrastructure and
accessibility improvements. The County funded 474 units of affordable housing in the past year and
completed 507 units that were previously funded. The County was awarded $45 million in mortgage
revenue bond proceeds for its Mortgage Credit Certificate program in 2009. This is over seven times the
usual allocation and will provide tax credits to approximately 200 low and moderate income households.
Seventy-eight MCC’s were issued in the past year, including 37 to low-income households.
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, page 16, shows
the County far exceeded its annual goals in every plan objective except: Youth (CD-3), Fair Housing (CD-
5), and Economic Development ( CD-6). The County is confident that these minor shortfalls in these three
categories will be made up during the course of the 5-year plan.
A total of 14 projects received funding through the Community Development Block Grant – Recovery
(CDBG-R) Program. As of June 30, 2012, 13 CDBG-R projects have been completed and the other one is
underway and is expected to be completed by September 30, 2012. A final close-out report will be
submitted via FederalReports.gov including information on the total number of jobs created/retained.
The Homeless Prevention/Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP) was implemented on September 23, 2009
and faced a number of challenges. Determining client eligibility is an involved, staff-intensive process.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) requirements for case management,
documentation, inspections and HMIS makes the time needed to process a single case quite lengthy.
Reaching those clients who are targeted by this program has been difficult because they are typically those
residents who have never accessed community services and may not consider that they qualify for
assistance. In spite of these challenges, the County has provided almost $656,000 in rental assistance to
1,296 people in 513 households. Clients who do not meet the requirements of the HPRP program are
being assisted with other agency funds or directed to other community services.
Table I, page 22, shows the County is making progress in meeting its five-year housing goal. (Projects are
summarized in Appendix E.) Several projects are seeking the full amount of funding needed to begin
construction. This is challenging due to several factors: 1. The State of California’s is nearly out of its
housing bond (Proposition 1C) funds the rare notices of funding availability are extremely competitive. 2.
The State eliminated redevelopment agencies which reduces local funds and limits the ability of projects to
DRAFT-Contra Costa County FY 2011/12 CAPER
36
leverage private funding and compete for nine percent low income housing tax credits. Finally, changes to
the Section 20 2 and 811 programs have eliminated this important source of capital funds.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program began in March 2010. The NSP developers sold 10 homes in FY
2011/12. One of these homes was sold to a middle income buyer.
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 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.
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, particularly during these sever budgetary times,
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 severe lack of resources for ongoing training and professional
development. In an effort to address this issue, the County continued 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, NSP, 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, NSP,
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 include:
a. Press releases to the local news media.
b. Preparation and distribution of an informational brochure describing the HOME, CDBG, NSP,
HOPWA, and ESG Programs, including fair housing and affirmative marketing requirements,
and the Equal Housing Opportunity logo.
c. Targeted marketing to representatives of minority and other disadvantaged groups in Contra
Costa County, such as the NAACP, United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations,
Pacific Community Services, Bay Area Legal Aid, North Richmond Neighborhood House,
Housing Alliance, and the Chinese American Political Association.
d. 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 requires 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).
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. Advertisements, workshops, meetings and notices concerning the assisted-units emphasize
that the units are available on an equal opportunity basis.
4. Record keeping requirements. The County requires 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 requires 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 works with the project owner to determine
whether additional affirmative marketing measures are required.
Requirements concerning affirmative marketing and fair housing compliance are incorporated in contract
and loan agreements for all assisted projects. The County documents 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.
