BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the requirements of Title 1 of the National
Affordable Housing Act, the Community Development Department has
prepared the following documents :
1 . FY 1993 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Annual
Plan - a one year plan identifying public and private housing
resources, an implementation strategy for the use of those
resources, and specific goals for households to receive
affordable housing assistance.
2 . FY 1992 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Performance Report
- a report on public and private resources available for
affordable housing development during FY 1992, a description
of investments and activities undertaken with those resources,
and the number of households receiving assistance.
The County's annual strategy implements the housing goals, policies
and strategies set forth in the Housing Element of the Contra Costa
County General Plan, 1990-2005 and the FY 1992-96 Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy for the Contra Costa Urban County.
The FY 1992-96 CHAS was approved by the Board of Supervisors on
January 20, 1992 and by HUD on March 16, 1992 . In addition, in
preparing the annual strategy and performance report, the County
solicited input from all participating jurisdictions and nonprofit
affordable housing developers and interest groups in the Urban
County.
As required by the National Housing. Act, the County must submit the
CHAS Annual Plan and Performance Report for the Urban County to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for
approval . In order to qualify for participation in most federal
housing programs, federal regulations require that proposed
projects must be consistent with an approved CHAS Annual Plan for
the jurisdiction in which the project will be located. In
addition, the jurisdiction must have an approved Annual Performance
Report for the preceding fiscal year.
