HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF.CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: February 26, 1987
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
1987 COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PROGRAM
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve set aside of $5,000 for the 1987 College Scholarship Award Program from
Housing Authority Local Management Fund, as recommended by the Advisory Housing
Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The $5,000 necessary to continue the college scholarship awards program began
in 1985 will be funded from Housing Authority Local Management funds.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
After implementation of the College Scholarship Award Program in 1985, awards
were made totaling $1,250.00. In 1985 one scholarship award of $500.00 was made and
in 1986 scholarship awards were made for $500.00 and $250.00 each. The awards are on
year grants of $500.00 for students who will attend a four-year college and $250.00
for students who will attend a community college or vocational/technical school .
The criteria developed at the implementation of the college scholarship awards
in 1985 will remain the same, with the addition of wording adopted in 1986 which
expanded scholarship eligibility to include any family member whose family currently
receives subsidy under the Section 8 programs administered by the Housing Authority
of the County of Contra Costa, as well as individuals who have previously received
scholarship awards through the Housing Authority's College Scholarship Award Program.
At its regular meeting on Monday, February 23, 1987, the Advisory Housing
Commission moved to recommend that $5,000 be set aside from Housing Authority Local
Management Funds for use as college scholarship awards in 1987.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioner elect to not approve the set aside of $5,000
for use in the College Scholarship Award Program, the Housing Authority would be
forced to abandon this worthwhile endeavor.
