program funds. A separate application for these
certificates/vouchers will be forwarded to the Board in the near
future by the Housing Authority.
The program area is the County' s Community Development Block Grant
entitlement area, i.e. , the entire County except the cities of
Richmond, Concord, Walnut Creek, and Pittsburg. The Housing
. . Authority, under contract to the_ .County .C.ommunity Development
Department is the implementing agency. Administrative costs
incurred by the Housing Authority cannot be paid by these Rental
Rehabilitation Program funds, but are being paid for with Community
Development Block Grant funds allocated to the Housing Authority
for rental rehabilitation purposes.
The securement of funds under this program will allow the County to
further its housing rehabilitation strategy and address the needs
for improving the housing stock for the County, particularly the
needs of its lower income renters.
