Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
1988 COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PROGRAM
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE set aside of $5,000 for the 1988 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:
The criteria developed at the implementation of the college scholarship awards
in 1985 will remain the same, with theaddition to 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.
The awards are one year grants of $750.00 for students who will attend a four-year
college and $500.00 for students who will attend a community college or
vocational/technical school .
At its regular meeting on Monday, March 21, 1988 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 1988.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners 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.
