SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE CITY OF
ANTIOCH FOR THE USE OF$235,000 OF THE CITY'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

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,
and to execute all forms necessary to provide an agreement with the City of Antioch for the use of$235,000 of the City's
Community Development Block Grant Program(CDBG)funds to continue operations of the Rental Rehabilitation Program
in the City of Antioch for the 2003-2004 Fiscal Year.
It. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa will be expended. Funding would come from the City
of Antioch's allocation of CDBG from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Rental
Rehabilitation Program operated by the Housing Authority will continue to serve Antioch's need to rehabilitate affordable
rental housing for low-income families. The$235,000 in CDBG funds will leverage approximately$200,000 more in private
investment to repair approximately 15 to 20 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 available to low-income families in the City of Antioch. Neglect of
deteriorated housing leads to poor environments and a decreased tax base affecting all of Contra Costa County.
