TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Richard J. Martinez,Executive Director
DATE: January 21, 1997
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR FUNDS FROM
THE CITY OF ANTIOCH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FOR RENTAL
REHABILITATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
L RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to submit an application
for$250,000 in funding from the City of Antioch Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Program for 1997-98 to
continue services of the Rental Rehabilitation Program to the City of Antioch;AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to execute
all forms necessary in this endeavor.
IL FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from the Housing Authority of the 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$250,000 in CDBG funds will
leverage approximately$210,000 in private funds to repair approximately fourteen 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:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to authorize the Executive Director to submit an application for funds
from the City of Antioch's CDBG Program,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.
