that the County is interested in receiving an additional $200,000
of rental rehabilitation funds based on anticipated program
activity. In addition, the County would receive approximately one
additional Housing Voucher for each $7, 500 in program funds.
The program area includes the following selected areas: Brentwood,
Oakley, Pittsburg, West Pittsburg, Martinez, Crockett, Rodeo, San
Pablo, and North Richmond. The Housing Authority, under contract
to the County Community Development Department is the implementing
agency. Only a portion of administrative costs incurred by the
Housing Authority (i.e. 100) can be paid by these Rental
Rehabilitation Program funds, so that the balance of these costs
are typically paid for with Community Development Block Grant funds
allocated to the Housing Authority for rental rehabilitation
purposes.
The securement of funds under this program will allow the County to
further its housing rehabilitation strategy and address the needs
for improving the housing stock for the County, particularly the
needs of its lower income renters.
