SUBJECT: TEMPORARY LOW RENT HOUSING ASSISTANCE FOR THE HOMELESS
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT the February 8, 1990 letter from Arthur Kontura, Director, Management
Division, San FranciscoliArea Regional Office, U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) , approving the Housing Authority's request for the use of low rent
units to provide housing to the homeless on a temporary basis.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Housing Authority must submit a budget revision to HUD reflecting the.
change in the rent rolls' and the corresponding reduction in operating subsidy.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
At its Regular Meeting on November 14, 1989 the Board of Supervisors requested
that the Housing Authority contact HUD to pursue removal of approximately six low
income housing units from the public housing program rent roll in several
developments for use in housing the homeless on a temporary basis.
On January 10, 1990 the Housing Authority contacted HUD and outlined this
unique concept as a demonstration program. HUD has approved our request for the use
of low rent units for the purpose of providing housing to the homeless on a temporary
basis. This program has been approved for a one year period and is subject to review
by HUD at the end of that time.
Several conditions have been imposed on the use of low rent units as temporary
housing for the homeless, including obtaining an agreement with the Contra Costa
County Social Services °'Department or other non-profit agency to assume full
responsibility for maintaining any low rent units used for this program in a decent,
safe and sanitary condition. Additionally, the units must be returned to the Housing
Authority in that same condition at the end of the agreement.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
. None.
