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.
