BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMN ENDATIONS
The National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 101-625, approved November 28, 1990)
authorized the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program(HOPWA) to provide States
and localities with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing
needs of persons with HIV/AIDS and related diseases.
Approval of the contract with the City of Oakland will provide $435,405 to the County as
administering agent on behalf of Contra Costa's Entitlement Jurisdictions (the County and Cities of
Antioch, Concord,Pittsburg,Richmond, and Walnut Creek). In accordance with the FY 1996 Contra
Costa County Action Plan previously submitted to the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), $90,000 will be used to provide support services for people with
HIV/AIDS including benefits assurance counseling and housing advocacy, $336,700 will support the
development of one or more group homes or residential facilities for people with HIV/AIDS, and
$8,705 will provide program administration. The supportive service funds will be allocated through
a competitive application process administered by the AIDS Program/County Department of Health
Services. The housing funds will be allocated through a competitive application process administered
by the County Community Development Department. Representatives from the AIDS
Program/County Department of Health Services, County Community Development Department, and
the Entitlement Jurisdictions will participate in the review processes. These efforts continue the
County's goals of addressing the housing and supportive service needs of people with HIV/AIDS in
Contra Costa.
