APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, or his
designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa County in an amount not to exceed $115,000 to provide
investigative services for housing fraud in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and public housing assistance
programs for the period beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015.
BACKGROUND
In order to continue to enhance HACCC’s efforts to reduce fraud in the HCV and Public Housing Programs, HACCC
wishes to enter into an Interagency Agreement with the District Attorney’s office to provide investigative services for
suspected owner and tenant housing fraud cases. HACCC has an existing contract with the District Attorney’s office
for these services that expires on June 30, 2014, with a not to exceed amount of $95,000. Thus far HACCC has spent
$45,463.25 on the existing contract. Under the existing contract, an Investigator from the District Attorney’s Office is
assigned up to HACCC for an average of 32 hours per week. The new contract will provide an average of 40 hours
per week of service. The Inspector has been very productive, completing 243 cases between May 2012 and
December 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Housing Authority’s (HACCC) total payments to the County under this Agreement shall not exceed $115,000.
The funding for this position is included in HACCC's current budget. Primary funding for this position comes from
HCV administrative fees and recovered fraud amounts. Public housing operating subsidy will be used to pay for any
time spent on public housing fraud cases.
