SUBJECT: Housing Bonus Fund for the Homeless
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the "Housing Bonus Fund for the Homeless" Project in
concept and refer to the Community Development Department
for development of a specific program. The "Housing Bonus
Fund for the Homeless" would involve working with developers
of housing projects to add a bonus of one to two percent
additional units for the purpose of dedicating the profits
from the sale of "bonus units" to a fund for the homeless.
This type of proposal may best be applied to housing
projects which have a selling price at least 150 percent
above the median home price in Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND
There are growing needs for the homeless population in
Contra Costa County. This project could generate additional
funds for the homeless without reducing the original project
profits to the builders or without affecting negatively
affordable housing.
