agreed, and discussion followed.
Board members commented on the many worthwhile projects and the lack of funding
for all. The Board commended the Advisory Committee on its hard work in endeavoring to
bring to the Board a recommendation and to set priorities among the applicants.
Supervisor Smith discussed the Mt. View Community Center as a model project, with
the cooperation of the County and the School District. He also suggested looking at finding
funds for the Brookside Facility, and requested more information on that facility when the

the funds available, and there are new and continuing programs seeking funding, and that she
would opt to try to continue some of the safety net infrastructure as opposed to putting bigger
holes in the net, and inquired what the process is going to be.
As recommended by Supervisor Smith, the Board agreed to forward suggestions for
modifications to Advisory Committee recommendations for the $167,000 unrestricted funds to
the Community Development Department within one week so that recommendations can be
collated and shared with other Board members prior to the March 1 meeting..
Supervisor Smith commented that in his opinion, the County-wide Economic
Development Strategy proposed for $50,000 should come out of the Economic Development
allocation, not out of the unrestricted funds.
Supervisor Torlakson requested information as to restrictions for unallocated reserves.
The matter will be placed on the March 1, 1994 determination agenda.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of

FISCAL IMPACT
None (Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds) .
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
Recommendations:
This is the twentieth year of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program, which is intended to primarily benefit
low and moderate income persons in the Urban County. (The
"Urban County" comprises the unincorporated County and all
cities except Richmond, Concord, Walnut Creek, Antioch and
Pittsburg. ) The 1994/95 CDBG program recommended by the
Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee provides
that all funds will be utilized to benefit low and moderate
income persons.
The Committee conducted numerous meetings, including three
public hearings and eight full meetings for presentations by
proposal sponsors. A total of 126 proposals requesting
approximately $10 million were received and considered
(Exhibit B) . The Committee developed its preliminary program
on January 4, 1994 , and conducted a public hearing on its
preliminary recommendations as part of its January 19, 1994
meeting. After this hearing, the Committee formulated its
final recommendation to the Board of Supervisors (Exhibit A) .
B. Board of Supervisors Considerations
1. Contingency Funds Available for Allocation
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors adopted new
funding guidelines for the CDBG Program. Among other
things, the new guidelines provided for the Committee's
recommendation to include a 2% contingency which the
Board of Supervisors could program subsequent to its
public hearing. The Committee's recommendation includes
$102 , 088 in unallocated funds, which the Board can
allocate to respond to community concerns.
2 . Public Service Cap
By Federal regulation, up to 15% of the annual grant
amount plus 15% of program income can be allocated to
public service activities. The Committee recommendation
for public service activities did not allocate the 15% of
program income component (as provided for in the December
14, 1993 Guidelines) . Therefore, the Board of
Supervisors may allocate up to $62 , 500 of the available
contingency funds ($102 , 088 as stated in paragraph one
above) for public service activities.
3 . Program Administration
At the December 14 , 1993 meeting, the Board adopted
funding guidelines providing for 13% of the annual grant
amount for program administration. This amount is
$459,420. Staff has examined its program administration
requirements carefully and believes it can manage with
$435, 420, leaving $25, 000 available for allocation.
Staff is recommending that this amount be allocated to
the development of a countywide Economic Development
Strategy (see paragraph four below) .
3 . Countywide Economic `Development Strategy
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors referred to
the Housing & Community Development Advisory Committee a
request for $50, 000 to go towards a public and privately
funded Economic Development Strategy for the entire
county (Exhibit D) . The Committee declined to consider
the referral, stating that it had been received after the
deadline for submittal of applications.
Staff is recommending that the County's contribution
toward the development of a countywide Economic
Development Strategy be funded at the $50,000 level.
Sufficient funds are available in the Contingency/
Reprogrammed Funds (see paragraph one above) to cover
this allocation.

Dear Ms. Anderson:
RE: 1994-95 CDBG Program
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors authorized the submittal of an application for 1994/95
CDBG funds to the Housing & Community Development Advisory Committee. In so doing, the Board
of Supervisors recognized that the timing of this application was late relative to the Committee's funding
cycle, however, because of the high priority they attach to economic development and job generation,
they felt the application was warranted.
By way of background, the Board of Supervisors hosted a Countywide Economic Summit on September
30, 1993 at Los Medanos College. The Summit produced two fundamental conclusions:
1. This County (all its communities) needs to have a proactive presence with respect to
economic development, and that a viable structure involving a partnership of business,
industry, labor, government, educators, and non-profits needs to be dished.
Dialogue with respect to establishment is progressing at this time;
2. An economic development strategy, developed from a Countywide perspective, was
needed to achieve consensus on goals and objectives, to rationalize response programs,
and to act as a catalyst for the development of an organizational structure. The CDBG
funds being requested are to provide partial funding for development of an economic
development strategy.
I look forward to responding to any questions which the Committee members may have.
Sincerely,
V

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY

DATE: December 13, 1993
TO: Finance Committee
FROM: Val Alexeeff, Directo
Growth Management & Economic Development Agency
SUBJECT: Development of a Countywide Economic Development Strategy
On September 30, 1993 the Board of Supervisors hosted a countywide Economic Summit. The
Economic Summit concluded that this County needed to be much more pro-active in promoting
and facilitating economic development.
A principle common among jurisdictions that have initiated successful economic development
efforts is the development of a strategic plan that:
• Analyzes the County;
• Identifies the assets and liabilities;
• Sets quantifiable goals;
• Establishes program objectives with priorities; and
0 Contains an action plan.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds may be used to finance the development
of economic development strategies, (see 12/13/93 memorandum regarding use of CDBG funds
for economic development). The Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
is currently developing the County's recommended 1994-95 CDBG program. Should the Board
of Supervisors wish to pursue development of an economic development strategy jointly with the
private sector and other cities within the next year, it is suggested that the Board of Supervisors
refer to the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee a request for 1994-95
funds. An estimated $100,000 would be needed to prepare a countywide economic development
strategy. Attempts are being made to enlist financial support from both the public and private
sector to augment these funds, however, no commitments are in place today. Discussions on
both the financial and organizational front continue.

C �a'""` "'-�� Dear Ms. Griffins
Q nomad
In the 1994/95 CDBG funding cycle, the Housing
Authority applied for $235,000 in construction
funding for the Los Arboles Child Care Center in
Oakley, CA. We have been notified that, the final
Housing and Community Development Advisory
Committee (HCDC) recommendation for this project
is $40,000. The Authority has completed most of
the predevelopment work and cannot proceed any
further with the construction unless the Authority
can secure, and hold, all of the $4581001 in
required construction funds within a reasonable
time period. Because of the very limited fading
sources for construction of child care centers,
the Authority had counted on receiving the bulk of
the needed funding from the CDBG program. eased
on our experience, the likelihood of pulling
together enough funding from other sources within
the next year without a commitment for the
majority of the funding requested from CDBG is
minimal. Thus, the Authority is withdrawing its
funding request under the 1994/95 CDBG program so
that those funds can be reprogramed to projects
that are ready this year.
The Authority and the County have already executed
a Project Agreement (No. 19-20) , approved by the
Board of Supervisors on June B, 1993, for $35,000
in predevelopment funds awarded in the 1993/94
CDHG year. We believe that the majority of those
funds should also be released for use on projects
currently in need of CDBG funding. Once the final
tally of costs expended to date under this
agreement are verified, the Authority will request

termination of the agreement so that the remainder
of these funds can also be reprogrammed.
As the Housing Authority still intends to
construct this facility in the future, it will
continue to pursue other funding sources. it may
also return to the HCDC in an upcoming year to
request some funding for the project.
Please don't hesitate to call Marge Gladman or
Robert McEwan if there are any additional
questions.

HERBERT M. COLE, JR., Ed.D LOVONYA DE JEAN
Superintendent Acting Director. Consolidated Programs
February. 14, 1994
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors:
We are writing to ask that the County Board of Supervisors intervene in
helping us resolve a delay of several months in the location of the WCCUSD Parent
Center at 847 Brookside Drive.
For the past two and a half years the District has, in good faith, worked with
County personnel to develop a program that would provide integrated services to the
North Richmond/San Pablo communities.
The concept of Parent Centers was reviewed in 1989 with the WCCUSD
Superintendent. SER National(Service, Employment and Redevelopment)of Dallas,
Texas, and the Urban League were brought into the planning; however, the plans
were delayed until the fall of 1991 when the District hired a Program Assistant to
continue the plans for implementation of the Parent Centers.
In early October of 1991 the Program Assistant's research indicated that the
County Youth Services Board, with a consortium of public and private agencies, had
begun planning the establishment of a "Family Service Mall" targeting the North
Richmond area. The proposed site for this service mall was 847 Brookside Drive.
After reviewing the county's proposal and recognizing the escalating problems
facing many children and families, the District felt it was imperative that they
support the County and work with the newly formed collaboration to develop a
comprehensive delivery service system that could address the services needs of the
North Richmond community. The District's research strongly indicated that many
communities across the States were experiencing significant success in collaborative
methods of delivering services to families and youth. Research also indicated that
people with multiple needs require intensive, comprehensive, and accessible
assistance, none of which were available in the North Richmond area.
The District's plans were to-support the collaboration by providing educational
services through adult education, parenting classes, and tutorial programs at the
proposed Family Service Mall.
Concurrent with the District's taking part in the collaborative efforts,it moved
ahead to form a board of directors and advisory committee (see Attachment #1) to
oversee the implementation and ongoing management of the District's educational
component of its two Parent Centers collaborative efforts. The one at 847 Brookside
under the County Youth Services Board Consortium. The second, still in the
planning stage, involves a joint venture with United Concilio West and SER National
to be housed at Seventh and Macdonald in Central Richmond. Along with the above
efforts, the District has supported the writing of two grant proposals (Healthy Start
and Even Start) that have been designed to coordinate services and activities around
the North Richmond community and hopefully to collaborate services with those at
the Family Service Mall.
Throughout the past 2-1/2 years the District, with collaborating agencies and
businesses, have in earnest maintained dialogue with members of the County Youth
Services Board and Community Services (Dr. Kathy Armstrong, Ron Fray, and Carol
Chan) regarding the lease of rooms at 847 Brookside Drive to house our adult
education and parenting classes. The target date of September 1993 was set, and the
School Board approved the purchase requisition to lease four rooms from September
1993 through June-30, 1994. (See Attachment #2.)
The District was ready to begin providing services to the community in
September 1993; however, in late August 1993 we learned that there were problems
with the sprinkler system which would delay our occupancy of the rooms. Over the
past several months it has, in fact, been difficult for us to identify the necessary steps
needed in the process to achieve our goal.
Today 2-1/2 years later, the serious education, social, and economic problems
in the North Richmond area continue to escalate. Gang violence is spiralling, and
many youth and families are in jeopardy of survival. It appears to us that the
County,after extensive surveys,research,neighborhood meetings,data gathering and
analysis, and promises of supportive services to the community is vacillating in its
commitment to the Family Service Mall proposal it originated.
When the District and its other collaborating agencies entered into this
initiative we trusted in the integrity of the County and believed that the County was
honestly committed to the development of integrated services that would foster the
strengthening of families and address the many social, employment, and education
issues within the North Richmond community.
It has been extremely frustrating for agencies who are ready to deliver services
to indefinitely be placed on hold. While we certainly recognize that there are growing
demands on limited funds,it is, however,-past time-that we actively begin-to provide
programs of prevention instead of continuing to offer 'bandaid" solutions to people
and communities in stress.
The,issues of crime, violence, poverty, abuse, and home and school failure are
no longer tucked into isolated areas. These problems have spread throughout our
society and will continue to spread until our priorities shift to include preventive
programs that will strengthen and support the positive development of youth and the
rebuilding of viable family units.
We ask that those in the County supervising the implementation of the Family
Service Mall honor their commitment and work to solve the problems revolving
around the sprinkler system so that agencies might begin providing integrated
services to this targeted area.
In the meantime, the Parent Centers Board of Directors request that we be
given clearance to at least begin using office space at 847 Brookside to house three
part-time personnel and to provide the Parent Centers with an address and telephone
service. After so many delays, we feel it is essential that we show intent of delivering
service. Until such time that we can offer a full program at the Brookside Drive
address we will attempt to locate temporary space to hold parenting classes. The
adult education component with the computer lab will have to wait until we have
permanent residence.
We ask for your immediate consideration in this matter and thank you for your
time and efforts in behalf of the North Richmond community and collaborating
agencies.
Yours truly, _

COMPREHENSIVE GRANT PROGRAM
"fir;� :-r• ��c:.
FIVE YEAR STRATEGY STATEMENT
for 1994-1998 �' d
HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa(Authority)has identified approximately$20
million in physical improvement needs throughout its 14 housing'developments. Under the
Comprehensive Grant Program(CGP),the Authority anticipates receiving a total of$14.2 million
during the five-year planning period. Of that amount, 10%,or$1.4 million,may be spent for
management improvements and 7%,or$993,000,may be spent for administration. Based on these
figures,the Authority should receive$2.8 million annually including up to $283,000 for management
improvements and up to $198,000 for administration.
Over the last ten years the Authority has been aggressively and comprehensively modernizing each of
its family developments. The Authority expects to continue following the same general 5-year
Comprehensive Plan for Modernization,established under the Comprehensive Improvement
Assistance Program(CLAP). Under this plan,the Authority will finish comprehensive modernization
of all of its family developments first and then work on its senior developments.
To provide additional flexibility for proper administration of the CGP grant,the Authority is
submitting a two-year Annual Submission, for FFY 1994 and FFY 1995. This will allow the Housing
Authority to set priorities and expedite work items from a two-year approval list.
I. PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS
Current Activity: Comprehensive modernization of Bridgemont(CAO 11003), a 36-unit family
development in Antioch, is now 75%complete;this work is funded through the last phase of the CLAP.
The Authority is just starting the comprehensive modernization of Los Arboles(CAO 11008), a 30-unit
family development in Oakley; this work is funded through the Comprehensive Grant Program.
Planning: The Housing Authority has made revisions to its existing Comprehensive Grants
701 and 702 (budget revisions have been submitted to HUD for approval)and Five Year budget -
primarily because of the need to include two significant work items that were previously unbudgeted:
1) lead abatement costs at the Las Deltas Developments (CAO 11006, 9A/9B) in North Richmond and
2) handicapped remodeling of additional units at Bayo Vista(CAO 11010)in Rodeo. These
improvements are mandated by HUD to receive highest priority.
For several years,the Authority has conducted an extensive program of testing, abatement and
education regarding lead based paint hazards. All of the family developments except Las Deltas in
North Richmond,have been tested for lead and abated(or are currently being abated) for lead paint
hazards. However, in 1993,the Housing Authority conducted testing for lead based paint at the Las
Deltas Developments (CA011006, CA011009A& CAO 11009B)and discovered lead above the HUD
thresholds on several interior and exterior building components at CA011006, a 76-unit development.
Lead based paint was also found on exterior building components in the 150 unit CAO 11009A and
CAO 11009B developments. All residential buildings in these developments will require some
abatement.
Further, to meet the needs identified in our 504 Transition Plan and Needs Assessment, it is necessary
to remodel six (6) additional units at our 250 unit family development, Bayo Vista(CA011010) in
Rodeo.
Inclusion of the lead abatement costs for Las Deltas:and the costs for additional handicapped units at
Bayo Vista in the current CGP budgets have required that some other work items be deferred to future
years. Most notable is the scheduled comprehensive modernization of Casa de Serena(CA011013) in
West Pittsburg. The comprehensive modernization of this seniors development was scheduled under
CGP 702 (Program Year 1993)and is now budgeted under Program Year 1994. We have,however,
retained some needed handicapped accessibility work and dwelling unit work for this development
under our 1993 budget.
We expect that the Authority will use approximately$1.0 million of the$2.7 million available in the
CGP Program Year 1994 to begin the modernization of Casa de Serena in West Pittsburg; this is a 50-
unit senior complex and will be the first senior development to be comprehensively modernized.
Besides the work in West Pittsburg,the Authority will continue work throughout its 14 developments
upgrading site facilities,non-dwelling buildings,and dwellings. Some Section 504(handicapped
accessibility)work is also budgeted.
II. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPROVEMENTS
Over the next five years,the Authority expects to use the$2.1 million available for management and
administrative improvements to continue to improve our management and administrative capabilities.
For CGP Program Year 1994, of the$283,000 earmarked for management improvements, 65%will be
used to provide security guards and Deputy Sheriffs. This will provide the flexibility to address
specific security situations, as needed,at each development. Funds are also allocated to provide a
Contract Specialist/Services Coordinator to prepare agency policy and procedures,write grant
proposals to fund special projects,and coordinate community services available to residents. In 1995
the Housing Authority plans to expand services under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program to public
housing residents and will hire a part time coordinator. In order to more efficiently process the
administrative and accounting workload,upgrades to the computer system and phone system are also
planned. For the remaining years,the Authority plans to use most of its management and
administrative funding for purposes similar to the first year of this five year plan.
III. SECTION 504 COMPLIANCE
The Authority decided that it should incorporate the remodeling of units to meet Section 504
requirements into the Comprehensive Plan for Modernization that it has followed for the last eight
years. Consequently,a minimum of 5%of the units have been remodeled as part of the Authority's
comprehensive modernization of each family development since 1990. Through CIAP and CGP,the
5%requirement has been met, or will be met within the next six months,for Los Nogales (CA011004),
Bridgemont(CA011004),Los Medanos(CA011002) and El Pueblo (CA011005) and Alhambra
Terrace(CA011001). The 5%requirement for the Las Deltas developments(CA011006,09A, &09B)
is budgeted under the CGP and will be done concurrently with the lead abatement work.
IV. ADDITIONAL NEEDS
Accrual of additional needs during the five-year period may cause some shifting of the priorities as the
Authority updates its five-year Action Plan each year and may result in additional unfunded need at the
end of the period. Urgent repair needs which occur during the five-year period will be factored into the
annual update of the Action Plan. Emergency work will be done immediately. Under this five-year
Action Plan,most of the developments will be brought up to the modernization and energy
conservation standards.

COMPREHENSIVE GRANT PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENTS WITH COMPREHENSIVE MODERNIZATION IN PROGRESS
HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa is currently working on two developments using
C.I.A.P. and Comprehensive Grant Program funds. These two family developments are listed below:
Development Name.Location #Units Year Built
CA011003 Bridgemont,Antioch 36 1942
CA011008 Los Arboles, Oakley 30 1961
The Bridgemont development was built in 1942 and is similar in design to several of our other
development of similar vintage. The units are in single-story duplexes of wood frame stucco
construction. Although they are now over fifty years old,they have been consistently maintained and
are still structurally sound. Extensive lead was found at this development and full abatement of lead
paint components is being completed concurrently with the modernization work.
Los Arboles was built in 1961 and, althoughnewer than the Bridgemont development,presented
significant design problems to modernize effectively. The kitchens required much more extensive
remodeling and the roofing was in need of immediate replacement. This modernization project has just
started and is expected to be completed in ten(10)months. As with Bridgemont,the site layout for
these single story duplex buildings provides adequate on-site open space.
1. Bridgemont Family Development,Antioch, CA-CA011003
This development is being comprehensively modernized through CLAP 913. The scope of work
includes the following:
Lead-based paint testing and abatement;
Remodeling all bathrooms;
Installing new energy efficient light fixtures throughout the complex;

Shelter, incorporated of Concord, Califaftia has applied for $20,000 to be used
as funding for continuation of fair housing services to residents of the Urban
County, specifically Supervisorial Districts I - IV. SHELTER,, Incorporated is a
cervice provider and landinro In Contra Cnc;tn C'minty. How can a landlord act as
a Fair Houuiuy Agency? This is a definito conflict of interest.
Shelter,, Incorporated illegally evicted an employee from it's transitional housing
project in Pittsburg (not.an uncommon practice for this agency). The employee
called the Fair mousing uffice and wds cusumL.Led with Chelter, Incorporatod, the
agency that had locked him out of his apartment. is that fair? In addition,
many, many complaints have been filed with HUD on behalf of shelter residents in
Concord and Richmond shelters. Several of these complaints are currently
unflAr investigatign. Alsop there have been many reports of Illegal evictions,
room searches and discriminatory treatment at the Pittsburg transitional site
along with thp rnnstant complaints of unfair treatment by shelter residents.
Shelter, Incorporated cannot run the shelters, provide rental ass!6Uu%ce, run
transitional housing units, and act as the Fair Housing Office. This Is a blatant
conflict of interest and it must stop immediately. I call your attention to the memo
that follows which describes the response by the Department of Justice, Office on
Civil Rights to the treatment of homeless individuals by agencies such as Shelter,
Incorporated. Be advised that the Department of Justice has already received a
50 page report with regard to the discriminatory practices in Contra Costa
County. In addition to that report, I have supplied them with other
documentation which VuLiLs out the glaring conflict of interprit, that exist with
regard to Sholtor, Incorporated And the CQuntV itself. I urge you to deny the
request made by Shelter, incorpuLciLed its 6rder to atop Chic blatant enni'lirt.

The second request for funding that I object to is that made by the Contra Costa
Housing Authority for funds to operate a job skiUs/work training program for
homeless individuals. Supposedly these funds would be used to operate a
"training kitchen" at the North Concord Shelter.
I oppose this request because the Housing Authority has no experience in
operating Udzi type of program. The ahalter operator, Shelter, Incorporated
does not have the experience or know-how to mako this program work,, Pither.
In addition, as the agency that provides the contract oversight for the shelter
programs in Contra (;06ta Lounty, t1w Hinuslas.11 Auth6rity hats boon a dismal
failure. The shelters have become nothing more than poorhouses where homeless
people are either favuzvd u.L Luutift-xted,, depranding.on the mood of the Vagp
managers and case counselors. ' The Housing Authority has taken no leadership
position to claw up the problems or to make the contractor work in a way that is
in the beat interest of the homeless client.
Since neither agency has a background or experience in job skills training I think
the maimay could bo put to a hi-tter w9p..
The request zor opez:aut-wol s i%# k%_&.jv Lh?, skuliku-v uLivet iinfil 'funs iri imrArfJ?nt
and should�be granted. The job skills funding request would be better spent it it
were to be used for operational costs to keep the shelter open even longer.

Dear Ms. Griffin:
I am writing to object to two Proposals for 11994/1995 Community Development
Mock Grant Funds.
Shelter, Incorporated of Concord, California has applied for $20,000 to be used
as funding for continuation of fair housing services to residents of the Urban
County, specifically Supervisonal Districts I - IV. Shelter, Incorporated is-a
service provider and landlord in Contra Costa County. How can a landlord act as
a Fair Housing Agency?
Tnrn-rnnrafAd1lleaallv evicted an employee from it's transitional housing
project In rittsburg (not an tirrnmmon practice for this agency). -.-h vitty'luYats
. j L
called the Fair Housing Office and was connected with Shelter, Incorporated, the
ananr,y fruA had lockedh MM out of his apartment. Is that fair? in addition,
a— -
many, many complaints have been filed with HUD on behalf of ulic-Iter resident: in
Concord and Richmond shelters. Several of these complaints are currently
wider investigation. Also, there have been many reports of illegal evictions,,
room searches and discriminatory treatment at the Pittsburg transitional site
along with the constant complaints of unfair treatment by shelter residents.
S)ielter, Xncorporated cannot run the shelters, provide rental assistance, run
transitional housing units, and act as the Fair Housing Office. This is a blatant
ci)tiflict of Interest and it must stop immediately. I call your attention to the memo
that follows which describes the response by the Department of Justice, Office On
Civil Rights to the treatment of homeless individuals by agencies such as Shelter,
Incorporated. Be advised that the Department of Justice has already received a
50 page report with regard to the discriminatory practices in Contra Costa
County. In addition to that report, I have supplied them with other,
documentation which points out the glaring conflict of interest that exist with
regard to Shelter, Incorporated and the County itself.
I urge you to deny the request made by Shelter, Incorporated In order to stop
this despicable conflict of interest.

The second request for funding that I object to is that made by the Contra Costa
Hou sing Authority for funds to operate a job skills/work training program for
homeless Individuals. Supposedly these funds would be used to operate a
"training kitchen" at the North Concord Shelter.
I oppose this request because the Housing Authority has no experience In
operating this type of program. The shelter operator, Shelter, Incorporated
ejoes not have the expiuUence or .1-now-how to make thin program work, either.
In addition, as the agency that provides Cine contracL vviarb-IIJ- 1ult &cV--A 4%-Ah^�

Enforcement of Federal Antidiscrimination Laws
............ ................ ....... ............ -------------------- ........
lu response-to the crisit of home]emess in- hay.
lric.d to sweep homeless people away by refusing to provide housing for them, rounding tip
and "relocating!' homeless persons, enforcing various underused criminal laws against them, .
refusing to prosecute individuals who commit crimes against homeless people, or denying
humeless children access to public school, These actions by local governments fuld private
individuals may violate federal law. In response to our request, the Civil Rights Division of
fli:+ United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has identified an attorney to coordinate the-.
DOJ's enforcement of federal laws that prohibit discrimination against homeless people,
If you have information about discriminatory enforcement of state and local crinihill'I
ii4Q1 civit ln%vs against homeless persons, or about the violation of federal antidiscriminatory
provisions as appilo, -,0 i--. 41,16-i0lua1z. ew contact us. We will send appropriate
U
cases to DOJ Ibr furfuvi and-prosecution.
Here's what you should look for:
Fair r WousInL&I
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing on the biosis of race, color,
religion, sox, disability (real or perceived), family status or national origin. Because many
ljoineless people suffer discrimination in housing because of one or morn of these
obaracteristics,'horuelas people may be protected from discrimination by the Fair Housing
Examples of activities that may constitute violations of the Fair Dousing.Act include:
(1) a city's refusal to permit group homes for persons who are mentally ill, mentally retarded,
or former substance abusers, including homeless persons; (2) a private landlord's refusal to
accept recovering substance abusers as tonsilts; (3) a homeowners' association's attempt to
enforce a restrictive covenant in order to prevent the owner of a home from selling it to be.
used as a group home for persons with disabilities.
1)01 is willing to use the Fair Housing Act in imaginative ways to prevent
discrimination against h=01059 individuals and families. For example, an appropriate case
could ensure that homeless shelters cOnstitut,., "dwellings" covered by the Fair Housing Act,
and thus extend Fair Housing Art protection to individuals in homeless shelters. if you aro.
aware of discrimination against homeless persons that might violate the Fair Housing Act,
please contact us.

Dear Ms. Griffin:
We strongly recommend that two of the three proposals from
Shelter, Inc. for 1994/95 Community Development Block Grants
should- not be awarded.
The grant request for $20,000 to fund fair housing services
in Contra Costa County is., we contend, improper . -Since Shelter,
Inc. is a landlord in Contra Costa County, it is 'unlikely it can
-act -objectively as' the Fair Housing Agency.
Shelter; Inc. also requests $20,OOO .for funding as job
skills/work training program at the North Concord Shelter .
Neither the Housing Authority nor . Shelter, Inc. has any
.experience in this kind of training and the grant should be
denied.
While Shelter, Inc. has a reputation for poor treatment of
some homeless in- Contra Costa County, the shelters must
nevertheless be kept open. We therefore recommend that the
Shelter, Inc . request for this purpose should be granted .
Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations on
the three grant requests .
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Powers:
RE: 1994-95 Proposed Community Development Block Grant Program Allocations
On behalf of the Rodeo Redevelopment Advisory Committee, I would like to request that the Board of
Supervisors consider funding of the Vaqueros Avenue sidewalk replacement project as proposed by the
Rodeo Citizen's Association (Application Open 88). The Vaqueros Avenue sidewalk project would
provide safe pedestrian access along Vaqueros Avenue and Rodeo Creek. This area is heavily used by
pedestrians,joggers and hikers. In addition, the project would provide access to the creek walk for the
handicapped. This project may be segmented into smaller portions, so partial funding may be
appropriate.
Sincerely,
