Contra
FROM: Supervisor Nancy C. Fanden Costa
DATE: April 17, 1990 Cainty
SUBJECT: INVESTIGATION INTO FEASIBILITY OF CONSTRUCTING DUPLEXES TO
SHELTER HOMELESS FAMILIES ON COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY LAND
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 4 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Director of the County Housing Authority explore
the possibility of constructing duplexes to shelter homeless
families on county-owned Housing Authority properties.
That a meeting be set between the Director of the Housing
Authority, HUD, Congressman George Miller's office and a
representative of the County Administrator' s office to
determine what funding sources are available.
That a report be made to the Board of Supervisors at the
June 5, 1990, meeting detailing the conclusions of the
meeting.
BACKGROUND:
It is becoming apparent that locating homeless shelters is a
difficult and time consuming task. The need is current, yet
the review and approval process is lengthy and expensive.
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa owns
land on which inexpensive duplexes might be constructed to
house homeless families. If the County owned duplexes for
sheltering the homeless, the complexities of housing
homeless families in motels would be eliminated and a cost
sharing program could be established.
