BACKGROUND: On December 17, 2013, the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners approved submission of two Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) applications for the conversion of 90 vacant public housing units at Las Deltas in North Richmond to RAD project-based voucher (PBV) units that could be used to fund development of affordable housing throughout the County. On March 30, 2015, HUD approved these two applications. When staff submitted HACCC's RAD application in December 2013, the intention was to also submit a Section 18 Demolition/Disposition (Section 18) application to HUD for the remaining, occupied units at Las Deltas. The primary advantage of a Section 18 application was that it provided a better long-term subsidy stream than the RAD program did. The disadvantages were that HUD had made it very difficult to get a Section 18 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1890,Version:1 application approved, the funding for replacement vouchers under such an application were shrinking (meaning we may not have gotten any) and HUD did not provide replacement funding for vacant units under a Section 18 application. In discussions with HUD and others it became clear that it would be difficult to get a Section 18 application approved for Las Deltas and HACCC's best option was to submit a RAD application for the remaining 124 units at Las Deltas in order to maximize the chances that the entire property can be converted to project-based assistance that can be used to develop replacement housing elsewhere. As a result, on August 18, 2015, the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa authorized the submission of two more RAD applications to HUD that would increase HACCC's previously approved applications for 90 vacant units to include all 214 units at Las Deltas in North Richmond. On August 16, 2016, HUD approved the additional two applications for the remaining units to be converted under the RAD program. In an effort to replace the units that would be lost at the Property, HACCC committed 214 units of RAD project-based voucher funding to non-profit housing developers in October of 2015 to 14 properties across Contra Costa County. Unfortunately, the rents associated with the RAD assistance would not be sufficient to support the debt service these properties would incur as part of the RAD rehabilitation process and HACCC had to commit additional regular project-based vouchers to these projects. Three of the 14 projects withdrew from consideration leaving 107 units of RAD assistance unallocated to replacement projects. HACCC has been exploring other projects that may be able to utilize these 107 RAD vouchers but, to date, no entity has shown interest in the assistance. HACCC approached HUD with the possibility to pursue Demolition and Disposition for the unassigned units and HUD indicated that they were amenable to re-visiting such an application for this property. In June of 2019, HACCC submitted an application to HUD’s Special Application Center for Demolition and Disposition of 107 units at Las Deltas. HUD approved this application in October of 2019 and initiated a concerted effort to sell the units at Las Deltas. HACCC developed a plan to carry out the demolition and disposition in three phases. The first phase was the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for non- profit developers to purchase up to four scattered-site properties for a $1. Phase 2 would entail the marketing of the remaining scattered properties for sale at Fair Market Value. This phase is currently in motion and being prepared for mass distribution. Phase 3 would be the issuance of a request for qualifications for the selection of a Master Developer to acquire and redevelop the 11.38 acres that make up the main campus of the property that sits vacant today. Phase 1 was completed in August of 2023. Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond (CHDC), Richmond Community Foundation (RCF), RichmondLAND (RL) and Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services (RNHS) were selected and given the opportunity to purchase four properties each. This phase is at various points of closing all sales transactions and one has even started rehabilitation of the units. The marketing of the remaining scattered site properties is on-going and we are in the process of securing appraisals to establish the Fair Market Value sales price for the units. These sales will be on-going until all 25 remaining properties are sold. Each sale will be brought before the Board for approval in the coming months. On November 4, 2024, HACCC released a Developer Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the main campus site acquisition and redevelopment.. It was open for 90 days and closed on February 4, 2025. Three proposals were submitted but only 2 were responsive to the RFQ and moved through the evaluation process. The one proposal was a partnership between the Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond and Eden Housing, Inc. and the other proposal was a partnership between Satellite Affordable Housing Associates and Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1890,Version:1 A panel consisting of community resident leaders, development experts, a member of Supervisor Gioia’s office and HACCC staff convened to evaluate the proposals and conduct a follow up interview session with the two applicants. Each panelist scored the proposals separately and discussed their results collectively with the panel to arrive at the group’s final score for each of the applicants. Three separate scoring rounds were undertaken. The first round was based exclusively on the proposals submitted. The second round of scoring was conducted after interviews were conducted with the bidders to clarify items from their proposals. Bidders were invited to submit their Best and Final proposal after the interviews for final review. The third and final round of scoring was based on a comprehensive review of the proposal, the interviews and the bidders’ Best and Final proposals submitted after the round of interviews. Each proposal was scored on 8 separate factors including experience, project plan, community partnerships, community engagement and marketing strategy, financial strength, acquisition plan, community goals and unit count. All panelist’s scores were averaged across each category and overall and a total proposal score was arrived at. The overall score is as follows: FINAL COMPREHENSIVE SCORES Bidder CHDC/Eden SAHA/RNHS AVERAGE 76.0 70.8 CHDC plans to build 125 homeownership units targeted to families between 80 and 120% of area median income (AMI). These proposed units are all over 2,000 square feet. Additionally, CHDC and Eden will partner to develop 115 rental units for seniors with household incomes at or below 60% of AMI. This part of the proposal will take the form of a low-rise apartment building. HACCC endeavors to enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with CHDC and Eden that will be brought to HUD and this Board for approval prior to transferring the property to them. The ENA will address the terms of the purchase price, timeline of the development activity and the required commitments of the developer as a condition of winning the bid to purchase and develop the former Las Deltas property. Should consensus not be reached with the selected developer on an ENA, HACCC may choose to negotiate with the other development party or re-open the bidding process. FISCAL IMPACT: Based on existing appraisals, HACCC will receive approximately $5,500,000 for the sale of the main campus. Closing costs and realtor fees will be paid from these funds. Final proceeds may change in response to market fluctuations and buyer response. All proceeds will be used for affordable housing purposes. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the Executive Director to enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with CHDC and Eden to acquire, for appraised fair market value, the 11.38 acre former Las Deltas public housing development main campus, HACCC shall have to reopen the selection process to find a new developer and further delay the transfer of the property to a new owner in order for further development activity to continue for both this site and for HACCC’s public housing properties.

BACKGROUND: The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC), in collaboration with both the HUD Office of Recapitalization (RECAP) and the HUD Special Application Center (SAC) agreed on a process to demolish and dispose of the Las Deltas Public Housing development through the combined use of Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD) and Section 18 Demolition and Disposition. HACCC requested, and HUD approved, the removal of the Declarations of Trust on the properties that make up the entire site. In addition, HUD approved the recording of a new Declaration of Restrictive Covenant (DRC) on all the units and parcels at Las Deltas. A copy of the DRC is included with the Purchase and Sale Agreement attached herein. The DRC required that any scattered sites sold at market rate would need to be substantiated by a certified appraisal and would no longer be subject to the restrictive covenants. The proceeds of the sale would be required to be used for affordable housing purposes, primarily the preservation of development of new affordable housing tied to HACCC’s remaining public housing portfolio. The sale of Las Deltas was earmarked to give preference to former residents of Las Deltas as the Tier 1 group and residents of, or people working in, North Richmond as the Tier 2 group. Tier 3 would be all other interested CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1891,Version:1 buyers. This Board approved the sale and disposition of seventeen buildings at below market rates on September 12, 2023, to four non-profit housing developers who are refurbishing the units and will then sell them to former Las Deltas residents and residents of North Richmond with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income. This was the first phase of the disposition plan for Las Deltas. The second phase focused on the sale of the main campus property to a developer(s) who could build a mix of rental and homeownership units at both affordable and market rates. The Board is considering that selection in another item at today’s meeting. The third phase, covered in this Board order, is to sell the remaining twenty-five buildings on eighteen parcels at Fair Market Value (FMV) based on a certified market appraisal, as required by HUD. HACCC began this phase in March of this year. A certified appraiser was hired to complete market appraisals for these properties which HACCC will use to begin marketing the parcels to the former residents of Las Deltas before proceeding with members of the North Richmond community. Pursuant to the DRC, we are required to secure HUD approval on a unit-by-unit basis for the FMV sales. Moreover, as custodians of HACCC’s assets, this Board must approve the sale of the properties as well. This action seeks to secure blanket approval by this Board authorizing the Executive Director to proceed with submission of each sale to HUD, as required by the DRC, as they are presented to HACCC by our realtor. In doing so, it provides HACCC and the buyers with an expedited approval process so that the sale is not jeopardized or the buyer becomes discouraged. The first FMV offer has been received. The offer is for Building 599-600: 1725 - 1727 Fourth Street, Richmond, CA listed as items 146 and 147 in the exhibit to the DRC attached to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. This offer is included in our request today along with the remaining Las Deltas properties to be sold. These properties are outlined in attachments to this Board Order. Staff also submitted a request to HUD on April 24, 2025 for the approval to sell Building 599-600: 1725 - 1727 Fourth Street, Richmond, CA at FMV. If the Board approves this board action, the buyer will be able to purchase the property and the restrictive covenant shall be removed from the parcel. In addition, the Executive Director shall be authorized to proceed with future offers without having to come back to this Board, ensuring a speedier close that is less likely to jeopardize any sales. FISCAL IMPACT: Based on existing appraisals, HACCC will receive approximately $7,500,000 for the sale of the twenty-five properties on the eighteen parcels for sale. Closing costs and realtor fees will be paid from these funds. Final proceeds may change in response to market fluctuations and buyer response.

If Buyer elects to proceed under clause (b) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such awards without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.

If the cost to repair such damage or destruction is reasonably estimated to be more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller not later than thirty (30) days after Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice regarding such damage or destruction.

DEFAULT 14.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer shall fail to close the transaction contemplated hereby as and when required solely as a result of a default by Buyer (subject to the terms of this Section 14.1), except to the extent such failure is a result of any Seller default or failure of a closing condition, the Deposit shall be paid over to Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, it being acknowledged by Buyer and Seller that in such event Seller will suffer substantial damages but such damages are incapable of exact ascertainment. After payment to Seller of the Deposit, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that Buyer and Seller shall remain obligated with respect to the obligations which specifically survive termination. If subsequent to Closing , Buyer fails to comply with its obligations contained herein which survive Closing, Seller, in addition to any rights and remedies provided herein, shall be entitled to any and all remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sec tion 14.1 or this Agreement, no default hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Buyer receives written notice from Seller that such event or condition of default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer has failed to cure same within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Seller or, if cure would reasonably require more than ten (10) Business Days to complete, within such time as would be reasonable under the circumstances. SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN THE EVENT BUYER SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SOLELY AS A RESULT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, THEN SELLER’S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH FAILURE TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION RESULTING SOLELY FROM A DEFAULT BY BUYER. SELLER AND BUYER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 14.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A FAILURE OF BUYER TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO BUYER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. T HE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 843\05\3877364.1 3275 OR 3369 BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. Buyer ________________ Seller _____________________________ 14.2 Seller's Default. If Seller is in default of this Agreement, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further liability under this Agreement except to the extent of any obligations that specifically survive termination or Buyer may seek specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder. 15.NON-COLLUSION.

BACKGROUND: The Housing Authority takes action to write off accounts that have been determined to be non-collectible. For this quarter ending March 31, 2025, a breakdown of the recommended write-offs, by housing development, is provided in the following table: CA011-001 lhambra Terrace Martinez $4,852.88 CA011-003 Bridgemont Antioch $8,845.96 CA011-004 Los Nogales Brentwood $11,377 CA011- 005 El Pueblo Pittsburg $74,332.32 CA011-008 Los Arboles Oakley $0 CA011-010 Bayo Vista Rodeo $77,977.05 CA011-011 Hacienda Martinez $110 CA011-012 Casa de Manana Oakley $17,794.86 CA011-013 Casa de Serena Bay Point $25,331.27 CA011-015 Elder Winds Antioch $3,862.15 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 owered b Le istar™ C.1 File #:25-1843,Version:1 CA011-4501 Vista del Camino San Pablo $17,299.40 CA011-4502 Kidd Manor $3,239.46 TOTAL $245,022.35 A total of 44 accounts are recommended for write-off, representing an average of $5,569 per account. The following table illustrates the collection losses for the past years. Conventional Program THIS QUARTER 03/31/2025 $245,022.35 12/31/2023 $84,537.42 03/31/2022 $122,003.10 03/31/2021 $81,269.90 Prior to submission of an account for write-offs, the staff makes every effort to collect money owed to HACCC. Once the account is written off, staff uploads debt amount to HUD's Debts Owed System, to further Housing Authorities efforts to collect monies owed. Past participants that owe Housing Agencies may be denied admission to public housing or housing choice voucher programs in the future unless debt is repaid. FISCAL IMPACT: Uncollectable amounts impact the budget by reducing total rental income. The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) regularly writes off those accounts that have been determined to be uncollectable. Once an account is written off, it can be turned over to a collection agency. For the period ending March 31, 2025, the collection loss write-off total is $245,022.35. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No.5268 these accounts would inflate the total accounts receivable for HACCC and resent and inaccurate financial osition.

Report Title:ADOPT AMENDMENTS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN OF THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO HUD’S UPDATES OF SECTIONS 102 AND 104 OF THE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2016 (HOTMA) AND THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN’S ACT ☐Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee RECOMMENDATIONS: ADOPT Amendments to the Administrative Plan of the Housing Choice Voucher Program in response to HUD’s updates of Sections 102 And 104 of the Housing Opportunities Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA) and the Violence Against Women Act. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued Initial Guidance in the Federal Register on October 24, 2016, announcing sweeping changes in the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Programs. At that time, only a fraction of the changes announced by HUD were implemented immediately. Many changes were not implemented pending further legislative review and policy development. Since then, HUD has been slowly releasing parts of the changes as they became ready. On July 18, 2023, this Board approved the changes to Section 103 of HOTMA that made significant changes regarding income limits for the Public Housing program and policies for families who exceed the “over-income” limit after the 24- month grace period. The changes being implemented in Section 102 and 104 of HOTMA are some of the most extensive changes made to the Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs in over 10 years. These changes are being implemented to modernize the rental assistance programs and bring them in line with societal norms of today. Moreover, HUD is making changes to the deductions permitted in the calculation of rent and implementing restrictions on participation in the program for households with excessive wealth. The changes are transformative to the rental assistance program and have resulted in extensive changes being proposed for the CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1868,Version:1 Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan. In 2024, HACCC staff brought many of the HOTMA changes to the Board for public hearing and approval. To date, all HOTMA updates to the Administrative Plan have been made and are being implemented in pieces by HUD. HACCC accommodated this partial role out of the HOTMA changes by invoking a two-tiered Admin Plan whereby actions not implemented yet would refer to the Administrative Plan approved by the Board in December of 2022 while new HOTMA changes that are implemented appear in the current version and become active. Despite the fact that staff have implemented extensive changes to the Administrative Plan in response to HUD’s updates of Section 102 and 104 of HOTMA, some edits continue to be made to the language, including changes to the Violence Against Women’s Act guidelines. The HOTMA changes were discussed by the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) on October 24, 2024, and approved by the RAB on November 6, 2024, as part of the initial adoption of the changes and public hearings were held regarding these changes on July 9 and December 3, 2024. This action by the Board is to approve the additional edits made to the Administrative Plan since the substantial changes were made available for public comment in 2024. The following changes were made to the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan as it pertains to HACCC Policy: In addition to any grammatical changes, edits were made to the standard HUD language in the plan that introduces the subject matter. These are not policy changes but regulatory edits from the Code of Federal Regulations.

S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT’S SECTION EIGHT MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL FY2025 ☐Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee RECOMMENDATIONS: APPROVE Resolution No. 5269, certifying the results for the Section 8 Management Assessment Plan (SEMAP), subject to HUD confirmatory review, for the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) for the period from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. BACKGROUND: HUD utilizes SEMAP to evaluate a public housing authority’s (PHA) management of the HCV program. SEMAP scores are based on a combination of electronic data reported to HUD at regular intervals by PHAs and self-reported scores based on internal audits conducted by PHA staff. PHAs use HUD’s SEMAP Certification form to submit their scores. HACCC’s completed form for the fiscal year is attached. The SEMAP rating consists of fourteen separate performance indicators plus a Bonus Indicator. Scores for Indicators 1-8 on the attached SEMAP Certification form are based upon HACCC’s internal review and an external review conducted by a consultant. Scores for Indicators 9-14 on the attached SEMAP Certification form are based on HUD’s automatic scoring of these Indicators. Based on staff's certification, HACCC’s HCV program is entitled to receive 120 out of 140 possible points, which will result in a SEMAP score of 85.71%. The rating becomes official after HUD reviews and approves the submission. If HUD maintains this score, HACCC will qualify as a “Standard Performer” under HUD’s SEMAP program. HACCC achieved a favorable score in 13 of 13 of the SEMAP Indicators for which it is eligible. Specifically, HACCC scored points in the following Indicators: CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1889,Version:1 ·Selection From the Waiting List ·Determination of Rent Reasonableness ·Determination of Adjusted Income ·Maintaining Current Utility Allowance Schedules ·Conducting Quality Control Inspections ·Expanding Housing Opportunities ·Maintaining Current Payment Standards ·Conducting Annual Income Reexaminations ·Correctly Calculating Tenant Rent ·Conducting Pre-Contract Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspections ·Housing Quality Standards Enforcement ·Annual HQS Inspections ·Lease-Up/Utilization Rate ·Housing Quality Standards Enforcement Because the Agency is no longer eligible; HACCC did not score any points in the following Indicator: ·Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) HACCC is no longer rated under SEMAP for this Indicator because we have graduated more FSS participants than the minimum required by HUD. Were the Agency still rated, HACCC would receive points for this Indicator. FISCAL IMPACT: HUD provides over one hundred and ninety-five million dollars annually to serve low-income families in Contra Costa County via the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance program. Approval of this SEMAP certification is a condition for continued funding. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve Resolution No. 5269, HACCC would be in jeopardy of losing approximately one hundred and ninety-five million dollars in funding that provides rental assistance for low-income families in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued Initial Guidance in the Federal Register on October 24, 2016 announcing sweeping changes in the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Programs. At that time, only a fraction of the changes announced by HUD were implemented. Many changes were not implemented pending further legislative review and policy development. Since then, HUD has been slowly releasing parts of the changes as they became ready. On July 18, 2023, this Board approved the changes to Section 103 of HOTMA that made significant changes regarding income limits for the Public Housing program and policies for families who exceed the “over-income” limit after the 24-month grace period. The changes being implemented in Section 102 and 104 of HOTMA are some of the most extensive changes made to the Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs in over 10 years. These changes are being implemented to modernize the rental assistance programs and bring them in line with societal norms of today. Moreover, HUD is making changes to the deductions permitted in the calculation of rent and implementing restrictions on participation in the program for households with excessive wealth. The changes are transformative to the rental assistance program and have resulted in extensive changes being proposed for the CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1869,Version:1 ACOP. In 2024, HACCC staff brought many of the HOTMA changes to the Board for public hearing and approval. To date, all HOTMA updates to the ACOP have been made and are being implemented in parts by HUD. HACCC is accommodating the partial role out of the HOTMA changes by invoking a two-tiered ACOP whereby actions not implemented yet would refer to the ACOP approved by the Board in December of 2022 while new HOTMA changes that are implemented appear in the current version and become active. Despite the fact that staff have implemented extensive changes to the ACOP in response to HUD’s updates of Section 102 and 104 of HOTMA, some edits continue to be made to the language, including changes to the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA) guidelines. The HOTMA changes were discussed by the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) on October 10, 2024 and approved by the RAB on November 6, 2024 as part of the initial adoption of the changes. Public hearings were held regarding these changes on July 9 and December 3, 2024. This action by the Board is to approve the additional edits made to the ACOP since the substantial changes were made available for public comment in 2024. The following changes were made to the ACOP for the Public Housing Program as it pertains to HACCC Policy: In addition to any grammatical changes, edits were made to the standard HUD language in the plan that introduces the subject matter. These are not policy changes but regulatory edits from the Code of Federal Regulations. The following changes were made to the ACOP as it pertains to HACCC Policy: •Added language addressing additional protections provide by the State of California for access to Fair Housing; •Modified some language in the ACOP to be consistent with Reasonable Accommodation policies in our Housing Choice Voucher program, including: o Allowing a change in a family’s rent due date to correspond with the receipt of SSI or SSDI benefits. o Verification of disability and/or disability-related need is not required when the disability and/or disability-related need is obvious or already known to HACCC. o The request need not use a specific written form and need not mention the Fair Housing Act, Section 504, or the ADA, or use the phrase "reasonable accommodation" or “reasonable modification." o HACCC will help the family fill out the form if they choose to use it and if they need assistance. o While requests for accommodation may be submitted to any Housing Authority employee, requests will be evaluated and decided upon by the Section 504 Coordinator and/or another staff member trained in and knowledgeable about fair housing and reasonable accommodations. •Modified language to allow families who own otherwise disqualifying real property to remain eligible for the Public Housing program if the property’s location creates significant barriers to accessing work, school, healthcare, or other necessary services. •Added and amended language regarding Violence Against Women’s Act pursuant to HOTMA changes and HUD guidelines including prohibiting the denial of admission to an otherwise qualified applicant on the basis or as a direct result of the fact that the applicant is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; •Adding language prioritizing VAWA-related Emergency Transfers for participant families above all other transfer requests; •Removed restrictive language for documentation needed to verify VAWA claims; •Reemphasized security protocols in protecting the identity of victims of VAWA, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking. •Updated all mandatory forms related to VAWA including HUD Forms 5380, 5381, 5382, and 5383; •Added language categorizing and defining all assets as either real property or personal property. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1869,Version:1 •Added language about using a streamlined income determination for annual reexaminations on families with fixed income sources. •Added language adopting current IRS Publication 502 as a standard for determining if expenses claimed by eligible families qualify as health and medical care expenses •Updated the Glossaries of the ACOP •Updated the Appendix of HOTMA which specifies the items being modified or implemented by the latest changes announced by HUD. The proposed changes to the ACOP are too extensive to be attached. A complete copy of the proposed ACOP is available for review at HACCC’s main office and on HACCC’s website. FISCAL IMPACT: No direct financial impact. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the resolution to implement the amendments to the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan for the Public Housing Program in response to HUD’s updates of Sections 102 And 104 of the Housing Opportunities Through Modernization Act Of 2016 (HOTMA) and the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA), HACCC will be out of compliance with HUD requirements.

(No fiscal impact) Attachments: Action ByDate Action ResultVer.Tally approvedHOUSING AUTHORITY5/20/2025 1 Pass To:Contra Costa County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners From:Joseph Villarreal, Executive Director Report Title:APPROVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO AMEND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY’S PROCUREMENT POLICY TO INCREASE THE PURCHASE THRESHOLDS FOR PETTY CASH, MICRO AND SMALL PURCHASES ☐Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee RECOMMENDATIONS: APPROVE the Executive Director to amend the Housing Authority’s (HACCC) procurement policy to increase the purchase threshold for petty cash, micro, and small purchases. BACKGROUND: The current petty cash ceiling of $50 no longer meets the needs of routine business operations and has created inefficiencies in processing low-value purchases. Increasing this threshold will allow for greater flexibility and responsiveness in small, day-to-day transactions. The micro purchase threshold is currently set at $3,000. Increasing it would make it consistent with HUD’s updated guidance. This change is specifically intended to reduce the administrative burden of requiring full approvals and competitive procedures for routine purchases up to $10,000. By increasing this threshold, HACCC staff will be able to make low-value purchases more efficiently while maintaining fiscal accountability and compliance with federal standards. The small purchase threshold for purchases supporting day-to-day operations is currently set at $150,000. While the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has increased the federal small purchase threshold to $250,000, HACCC proposes to adopt a threshold consistent with the County’s procurement standards. This alignment ensures consistency across local government procurement practices while still remaining within HUD’s allowable limits. It also simplifies procurement administration, improves programmatic efficiency, and reduces unnecessary administrative burden, all while preserving necessary oversight. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1725,Version:1 HACCC intends to make the following changes to the procurement thresholds: •Increase the Petty Cash purchase threshold from $50 to $250. •Raise the Micro Purchase threshold from $3,000 to $10,000, consistent with updated HUD guidance, with the exception of construction procurements which remains at $2,000. •Increase the Small Purchase threshold, including for petty cash, micro, and small-purchase non-complex service contracts, from $150,000 to $200,000, bringing it in alignment with the County’s threshold. HACCC’s Procurement Procedures will include the following: •For any amounts above the petty cash ceiling ($250) but not exceeding $200,000, HACCC may use small purchase procedures. •Under small purchase procedures, a reasonable number of quotes (preferably three) should be obtained. •For purchases under $10,000 (except for construction, which remains at $2,000), defined as Micro Purchases, only one quote is required, provided it is deemed reasonable. •To promote competition, small purchases should be distributed among qualified sources to the greatest extent feasible. •Quotations (QSPs) may be obtained orally (in person or by phone), by fax, in writing, or through e- procurement platforms. •The following must be documented and maintained as a public record (unless otherwise restricted by law): names, addresses, or telephone numbers of offerors, the date of each quote, and the quoted amount. •Awards will be made to the responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest price, unless justified with supporting documentation in the contract file. •HACCC shall not split purchases that exceed the applicable thresholds into smaller transactions for the purpose of avoiding procurement rules or using less stringent procedures. These updates reflect current HUD regulations, align with County practices, and enhance operational efficiency while maintaining transparency and accountability. FISCAL IMPACT: No direct financial impact. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve the updated thresholds and procedures will leave HACCC operating under outdated limits that no longer reflect market realities, reducing operational agility and efficiency.

(DAWGS) in an amount not to exceed $200,000 per year to provide secure entry systems for vacant public housing units/buildings for the period June 2, 2025, to June 2, 2026. The contract will also contain four annual options to renew effective June 2nd, of each year. If all options to renew are accepted, the total contract would not exceed $1,000,000 and the final term would commence on June 2, 2028, and end on June 2, 2029. BACKGROUND: When a public housing unit becomes vacant, there is typically a short delay before re-leasing. However, vacancies may be prolonged if extensive repairs are needed or if new tenants require time to relocate. Under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, certain units remain vacant until RAD approvals are secured, and the units are sold. HACCC uses a mixture of plywood and metal coverings to temporarily seal vacant units. Metal coverings are used for units where break-in is a concern. Through this contract, DAWGS will rent metal security covers to HACCC as needed. HACCC issued RFP-24116-313 for door and window security screen services. Door and Window Guard Systems, Inc. (DAWGS) received the highest score among the vendors. DAWGS is an industry leader in securing, maintaining and managing vacant properties. Since 2009, DAWGS has been trusted by a wide range of customers throughout various industries. DAWGS' innovative suite of security products and expert services allow customers to protect and preserve their properties against unauthorized access, while maintaining their property’s value. With multiple locations throughout the United CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1865,Version:1 States, DAWGS prides itself on delivering the trust and security customers can expect from a large, nationwide company, while offering customized and relevant solutions for each local market. DAWGS has a proprietary metal enclosure system that has been successful, to date, in preventing break-ins at some of our developments where their product is already in use from prior years' contracts. The cost of the security units breaks down to $34 per door per month and $23 per window per month. If HACCC exercises all four renewal options, the contract would run through June 2, 2029. Should contract spending be projected to exceed $1,000,000 before that date, staff will return to the Board for further approval. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract is included in the Housing Authority's (HACCC) current budget using funds provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Board of Commissioners does not approve the contract with DAWGS, HACCC would need to initiate a new competitive bidding process for vacant unit security systems, resulting in delays and increased vulnerability of HACCC properties.

BACKGROUND: The United States (U.S.) Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is required by law to set income limits that determine the eligibility of applicants for HUD's assisted housing programs including the Public Housing, and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher programs among others. HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county. HUD also calculates median family incomes (MFIs) for every metropolitan area and nonmetropolitan county in the U.S. MFIs are an input into the income limit calculation and are based on a four-person household. MFIs are also often referred to by users of this data and in other federal programs as area median incomes (AMIs). HUD Section 8 Income Limits begin with the production of MFIs for each area. HUD uses the Section 8 program’s Fair Market Rent (FMR) area definitions in developing median incomes, which means that income estimates are developed for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each nonmetropolitan county. The statutory basis for HUD's income limit policies may be summarized as follows: ·Low-income families are defined as families whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the median family income for the area. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1845,Version:1 ·Very low-income families are defined as families whose incomes do not exceed 50 percent of the median family income for the area. ·Extremely low-income families are defined as very low-income families whose incomes do not exceed the greater of 30 percent of the median family income for the area or the federal poverty guidelines as published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The extremely low-income limits based on poverty guidelines are capped by the very low-income limit. HUD uses the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) and Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) median family income data (as opposed to household income data) as the basis of FY 2025 income limits for all areas of geography, except for the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Pacific Islands (Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands). In the past, HUD has used the Consumer Price Index (CPI) forecast published by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to bring the ACS and PRCS data forward from the year of the ACS to the current fiscal year. For FY 2025 and going forward, HUD will use an inflation factor based on the most recent projected change in national per capita wages published by the Congressional Budget Office in an attempt to improve the accuracy of its median family income estimates. The inflation factor, representing the projected change in national per capita wages from FY 2023 through FY 2025, is approximately 1.08 (an 8 percent increase). Effective April 1, 2025, the FY2025 income limits are as follows: Family Size (# of persons) Extremely Low ( 30%) Income Very Low (50%) Income Low (80%) Income 01 $33,600 $55,950 $87,550 02 38,400 63,950 100,050 03 43,200 71,950 112,550 04 47,950 79,900 125,050 05 51,800 86,300 135,100 06 55,650 92,700 145,100 07 59,500 99,100 155,100 08 63,300 105,500 165,100 FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funding for the proposed change is provided for in the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa's (HACCC) current budget. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: This is an information item only.

The report is required to show the issuers, type of investments, maturity dates, par values (equal to market value here) and the current market values of each component of the portfolio, including funds managed by third party contractors. It must also include the source of the portfolio valuation (in HACCC’s case it is the issuer). Finally, the report must provide certifications that (1) all investment actions executed since the last report have been made in full compliance with the Investment Policy and; (2) HACCC will meet its expenditure obligations for the next six months. (CGC 53646(b)). The state-mandated report has been amended to indicate the amount of interest earned and how the interest was allocated. The amended report is attached. In summary, HACCC had $28,842.84 in interest earnings for the quarter ending March 31st, 2025. That interest was earned within discrete programs and most of the interest earned is available only for use within the program which earned the interest. Further, interest earnings may be restricted to specific purposes within a given program. The Housing Choice Voucher Program reserve as of 12/31/2013 held in cash and investments was transitioned to HUD held program reserve account. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 8/21/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-1844,Version:1 Non-restricted interest earnings within both the voucher and public housing programs must be used solely within those programs, but such interest earnings can be used for a wider range of purposes within the individual programs. The interest earned in the State and Local fund can be used for any purpose within HACCC’s scope of operations. The interest earned for the quarter ending March 31st,2025 is shown below. A more detailed report is attached. Public Housing Housing Choice Voucher Fund Central Office State & Local Unrestricted Interest Earned Restricted Interest Earned Unrestricted Interest Earned Unrestricted Interest Earned Unrestricted Interest Earned $225.72 $22,308.31 $6,308.81 FISCAL IMPACT: None. For reporting purposes only. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to accept the investment report it would result in an audit finding of non-compliance and could ultimately affect future funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
