TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: RICHARD J. MARTINEZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: JANUARY 31, 1995
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR FUNDS
FROM THE CITY OF ANTIOCH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM FOR THE RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa to submit an application for $50,000
from City of Antioch Community Development Block Grant Program
(CDBG) funds for Fiscal Year 1995-96 continuing services of the
Rental Rehabilitation Program to the City of Antioch; and AUTHORIZE
the Executive Director to execute all forms necessary in this
endeavor.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from the Housing Authority of County of Contra Costa
will be expended. Funding comes from The City of Antioch's
allocation of CDBG. The Rental Rehabilitation Program operated by
the Housing Authority will be expanded to serve Antioch's need to
rehabilitate affordable rental housing for Low Income families . The
$100, 000 in CDBG funds will leverage approximately $100,000 in
private funds to/repair approximately nine rental housing units .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
There is a demonstrated need for decent affordable rental
housing for Lower Income families countywide. Antioch's CDBG
funding allocation for the Rental Rehabilitation Program will
leverage private investment to rehabilitate affordable rental
housing by providing financial incentives and technical assistance.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Fewer affordable and decent rental housing units will be
available to low income families in the City of Antioch. Neglect
of deteriorated housing leads to poor environments for citizens and
a decreased tax base affecting the entire County.
