FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon
Director of Community Development
DATE: February 26, 1988
SUBJECT: United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations (UCSSO)
U.S. Citizens Development (Immigration) Program.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the loan of funds in an amount not to exceed $4,100 to
United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations for use in supple-
menting its immigrations and Naturalization Services Program from
Housing Bond Trust Funds; and authorize the Director of Community
Development to prepare and execute loan documents and or contracts
accomplishing the above.
FISCAL IMPACT
No general fund dollars are involved. UCSSO would agree to pay
back the County the principal amount within six months.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations (UCSSO) operates
an Immigration and Naturalization Services Program. Because of an
impending federal deadline for the filing of applications that
would, with further processing, allow undocumented individuals to
secure permanent U.S. residence status UCSSO has been deluged with
applications. Currently two staff persons are processing
applications. Included in the County' s 1988-89 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) statement is an allocation of
$65,000 for two additional staff persons to deal with the demand.
The CDBG funds will not and cannot be available until early April.
UCSSO has requested financial assistance to cover March expenses
until the CDBG funds are available. With an agreement stipulating
that the supplemental funds be paid back from non-CDBG sources, the
County can make available, on a short term basis, housiriA and
trust fund monies for the desired purpose.
