SUBJECT:
LETTER TO HUD REQUESTING RE-FUNDING OF
SECTION 8 CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT letter dated December 13, 1988 to Mr. Robert J. De Monte, Regional
Administrator/Regional Housing Commissioner, U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, San Francisco Regional Office, from the Executive Director of the
Housing Authority requesting information regarding the extension, re-funding and/or
termination of the Section 8 Certificate Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION%BACKGROUND:
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa administers a Section 8
Existing Housing Certificate contract which serves 3,653 low income families, senior
citizens, and disabled persons. This contract, SF-468, is due to terminate March 31,
1990.
Letters were sent to the Congressional representatives for Contra Costa County
requesting that the Section 8 Certificate program be re-funded. Congressman Miller
replied, indicating that the contracts which would have expired in 1989 were being
re-funded for that year. However, the re-funding was agreed to because the number of
expiring contracts was relatively small . In future years, it might prove more
difficult to secure complete re-funding as the number of expiring contracts will
increase.
At the Joint Workshop on November 28, 1988 the Advisory Housing Commission and
the Board of Supervisors/Commissioners recommended that the Executive Director of the
Housing Authority direct a letter to HUD requesting information as to whether the
Section 8 Certificate program would be extended, converted to a Housing Voucher
contract, or terminated without any re-funding.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
