FISCAL IMPACT
No direct General Fund impact. An approved CHAS is required for jurisdiction participation in the majority of housing
and homeless programs funded through HUD, including: the Community Development Block Grant Program(CDBG);
HOME Program; Emergency Shelter Grant Program; McKinney Act Programs; and Shelter-Plus Care. Assuming the
CHAS is approved by HUD, the Consortium anticipates receiving an estimated five to six million dollars in funding
through these programs during FY 1993-94.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In accord with the requirements of Title I of the National Housing Act, the HOME Consortium, represented by the
County's Community Development Department, has prepared a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy for FY
1994-98. (The Consortium includes the Urban County and the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut
Creek.) Federal approval of this document is required to enable the Consortium to participate in the majority of federal
housing and homeless programs.
The Consortium's CHAS is derived from the detailed statements of housing goals, policies,.and strategies set forth in
the Housing Elements of the current General Plans for the Consortium members. As required by HUD, the CHAS
contains: an assessment of Consortium housing needs for very low-, low- and moderate-income households, the
homeless, and special needs populations; a five-year strategy describing the Consortium's plan for addressing affordable
and supportive housing needs; a one-year strategy plan for each Consortium member identifying available resources and
their use in alleviating housing needs during FY 1993-94; and an annual performance report for each Consortium member
identifying available resources and their use in alleviating housing needs during FY 1992-93.
