Subject:Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS Funding Agreement between the City of Oakland and the County
of Contra Costa
BACKGROUND:
The National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 101-625, approved November 28, 1990) authorizes the
Housing Opportunities with HIV/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 counties on a fair share allocation basis. Approval of a funding
agreement with the City will provide $533,761 in fiscal year 2014 funds to the County. These funds may be used
for acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of affordable housing; supportive services; housing
information services; and certain other housing related activities for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in both
incorporated and unicorporated areas of the County.
County Conservation and Development (DCD) and Health Services Departments (HSD) staff coordinate
periodically to identify and address the housing and housing-related services needs of low-income persons with
HIV/AIDS in Contra Costa County. 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 fiscal year 2014 HOPWA funding agreement with the City of Oakland, the
County would not receive and administer $533,761 in HOPWA funds and low-income persons with HIV/AIDS in
the County would lose vital housing and supportive services.
