The Housing Authority, under contract to the County Community Development Department is the implementing agency. Only a portion of administrative costs incurred by the Housing Authority ( i.e. 100) can be paid by these Rental Rehabilitation Program funds, so that the balance of these costs are typically 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.
