BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Battered Women's Alternatives (BWA) is in the process of developing a new emergency and
transitional housing shelter for battered women and their children in Central Contra Costa County.
On October 12, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved an allocation of$105,000 in FY 1993
HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) funds to BWA for use in establishing the transitional
housing component of this facility. On March 1, 1994, the Board approved an additional $150,000
in Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funds for the emergency shelter component of this
project. Using these funds, BWA acquired an existing multifamily housing complex in Pacheco.
Over the last year,BWA has refined the project concept and design. In response to site constraints,
BWA will construct two new buildings in addition to rehabilitating the existing buildings. On October
3, 1995,the Board of Supervisors approved an additional $105,000 in FY 1995 Consortium HOME
funds for the transitional housing component. This funding represents the final financing required to
complete the project. When complete, this project will provide 24 emergency shelter beds and 6
HOME-assisted units of transitional housing serving up to 8 families at any one time. In addition to
shelter, BWA will provide a variety of appropriate onsite services, including but not limited to
counseling, child care, and employment and job readiness training. In addition, clients will be referred
to appropriate offsite services.
The total cost of this project is: $1,999,177. The development budget and sources of funds for this
project are:

FY 1994 HOME funds $ 105,000

County CDBG and FY 1993 HOME funds were used to cover a portion of site acquisition costs.
FY 1995 HOME funds will be used to provide a portion of the rehabilitation costs. All County funds
are provided to BWA for this project in the form of a 40-year deferred loan. Affordability and use
restrictions are recorded against the property and will apply through the loan term. At the end of 40
years, the loan may be forgiven in exchange for an additional 20 years of required affordability and
use as emergency/transitional housing.
BWA has been providing emergency shelter and services in the County for 17 years, including
operation of the only transitional housing shelter for abused women and children. Completion of the
current emergency and transitional housing project will contribute substantially to the County's efforts
to serve this vulnerable population.
