families.The$200,000 in CDBG funds will leverage approximately$175,000 more in private investment to repair approximately
15 to 20 rental housing units.

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 available to low-income families in the City of Antioch. Neglect of
deteriorated housing leads to poor environments and a decreased tax base affecting the entire County.
