APPROVE the revised Bedroom Occupancy S.tandards .for the Public Housing and

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa has revised its bedroom
occupancy standards to comply with new HUD policy recommendations for PHAs to
follow in establishing unit size assignment and the State Department of Fair
Employment and Housing acceptance guidelines for occupancy limitation complaint
investigations. Additionally, the new policy and procedure incorporates recommen-
dations from Contra Costa Legal Services Foundation.
The new standards are the same for each program administered by the Housing
Authority and will take into consideration the requirements of HUD to assign units
with the smallest number of bedrooms, but to avoid overcrowding, and to insure that
there is no discrimination against families with children.. These new Bedroom
Occupancy Standards will allow families more flexibility in determining the unit size
that will best meet the needs of the family.
At its Regular Meeting on Monday, May 20, 1991 the Advisory Housing Commission .
voted to recommend approval of the revised Bedroom Occupancy Standards.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve the revised Bedroom
Occupancy Standards, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa would not be
in compliance with new HUD policy recommendations and the State Department of Fair
Employment and Housing guidelines. ,
