SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of
Contra Costa or his designee to execute and transmit an application along with the necessary
certifications and assurances to the City of Walnut Creek Community Development Department,
requesting$23,685. in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)funding for the rehabilitation
of the Central County Shelter.
B. APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority or his designee to
accept any City of Walnut Creek Community Development Block Grant FY 1997-98 grant and to
enter into a contract with the City of Walnut Creek and perform any and all responsibilities in
relationship to such contract.
II. FISCAL EMPACT:
The$23,685 requested in this CDBG application is necessary for Phase II of the rehabilitation of the Central
County Shelter. An estimated $473,708. is still needed to complete the rehabilitation of the shelter. Grant
proposals are being prepared at this time to fund this final phase. The required 20% in matching funds will
come from other public or private funding applications pending for Phase 11.
III. BACKGROUND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The City of Walnut Creek has issued a request for proposals for Community Development Block Grant and
Community Service Grant Program funding for FY 1997-98. The City of Walnut Creek will provide
funding from their Community Development Block Grant entitlement and from general fund monies.
The CDBG program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a
primary source of funds for the City of Walnut Creek's community development and housing programs,
including public or human service activities that benefit low income reEidents of the City of Walnut Creek.
The Housing Authority, on behalf of the County, is requesting CDBG Housing Program funds to assist
with the completion of this final phase of shelter rehabilitation. Phase II includes the commercial training
kitchen, the dining/multi-purpose room, the classroom building, two window walls with courtyards, site
improvements,landscaping and an outdoor recreation area. A successful capital campaign to complete Phase
11 of the rehabilitation in 1997 will allow the County's Homeless Program to implement an employment
training program at the Central County Shelter.
