CONSIDER ACCEPTING a report on the status of the Housing Authority's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for vacant units at Las Deltas in North
Richmond.
BACKGROUND
HUD’s FY2015 budget was finalized as part of an omnibus appropriations bill signed by the President on December
16, 2014. In addition to HUD's budget, the bill expanded the RAD program from 60,000 units to 185,000. According
to HUD, the new cap is sufficient to process all applications on its waiting list (including HACCC's) as well as 8,000
new units. The deadline for applying was also extended three years to September 30, 2018. The omnibus bill
permanently extends the second component of RAD to preserve projects with older forms of rental assistance (Rent
Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, all usually owned by private or
nonprofit entities), and allows those conversions to use either project-based rental assistance (PBRA) or project-based
voucher (PBV) and newly allows RAD to be used to preserve McKinney Vento Mod Rehab SRO units.
As a result of the omnibus bill, HACCC recently received preliminary approval from HUD for its two RAD
applications to convert 90 vacant public housing units at Las Deltas in North Richmond to PBV assistance. The
Board approved, and staff submitted, these RAD applications in December 2013. Staff will provide the Board with an
oral update on these applications.

Subject:Report on the Status of the Housing Authority's Rental Assistance Demonstration Application to HUD for Vacant
Units as Las Deltas
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
Attached are the two approval letters received from HUD as well as a map showing the units at Las Deltas that
will be affected if the applications are ultimately approved.
FISCAL IMPACT
If final approval is received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the
Housing Authority’s (HACCC) RAD application would convert between 50 and 107 vacant public housing units
for which HACCC receives no operating subsidy or rent into PBV units. The PBV subsidy for these units is
expected to be worth approximately $42 million in funding over the next 30 years.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
None. Information item only.
