HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: February 7, 1989
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
HUD INFORMATION BULLETIN - SECTION 8 CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
REVIEW the December 29, 1988 HUD Information Bulletin, providing information on
questions concerning the expiration of Section 8 Certificate Program Annual
Contributions Contracts and ACCEPT the January 9, 1989 Section 8 Existing Program
Contract Extension letter received by the Housing Authority of the County of Contra
Costa.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None at this time. Additional HUD rental subsidy funds will be received by the
Housing Authority after the Annual Contributions Contract amendment is received and
fully executed.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
At the Board of Commissioners/Advisory Housing Commission Joint Workshop on
November 28, 1988, the Executive Director reported that 3,653 Section Certificates
currently allocated to the Housing Authority will expire on March 31, 1990, and
expressed the feeling that because of the national budget deficit, there could be a
problem in securing federal funding for re-funding these Section 8 certificates.
The Board of Commissioners directed the Executive Director to forward a letter to the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regarding this matter. On December
13, 1988, the Executive Director directed a letter to Mr. Robert J. De Monte,
Regional Administrator/Regional Housing Commissioner, HUD, San Francisco Regional
Office, Region IX, expressing concern over the expiration of this contract and
requesting information on whether the Section 8 Certificate Program contract would be
re-funded, extended or converted to a Section 8 Voucher contract.
The Housing Authority has now received a HUD Information Bulletin outlining
HUD' s intent to continue Section 8 Rental Assistance at current levels by asking
Congress to provide Housing Vouchers to replace .certificates whose 15-year term is
expiring. HUD also plans to amend, dt least one year prior to expiration, any Annual
Contributions Contracts expiring in 1990 by extending the term of the contract.

Additionally, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa has received

expiration date for our first 15-year funding term will be extended by Annual
Contributions Contract amendment to November 11, 1990. This amendment should be
received from HUD Area Counsel within the next few weeks.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
