RECOMMENDED ACTION APPROVE Board Resolution 3644 certifying that the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa will meet the needs identified in its Section 504 Transition Plan by July 11,1994,as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission. H. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A requirement for approval of the Housing Authority's application for funding under the Comprehensive Grant Program is that the Housing Authority be in compliance with the Section 504 Handicapped Accessibility requirements by July 11, 1992, or receive an extension approval. This resolution is a required component of the Housing Authority's request for an extension for its compliance with Section 504: Submission and subsequent approval of the grant application by HUD will result in the award of approximately$2.1 million annual funding for public housing modernization activities. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND The Housing Authority is submitting an application for the U.S.Department of Housing&Urban Development Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP). The purpose of this program is to continue the modernization of the public housing stock. On April 28,1992,the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 3640 certifying that certain Federal procedural and program provisions will be adhered to by the Housing Authority in administering the CGP grant. A requirement for approval of the Housing Authority's application for funding under the Comprehensive Grant Program is that the Housing Authority be in compliance with the Section 504 Handicapped Accessibility requirements by July 11, 1992; or receive an extension approval. Because the Housing Authority will not be able to meet the original Section 504 deadline, it is requesting a two year extension for compliance with its Section 504 requirements. As part of the extension request, the Housing Authority must submit an addendum to Board Resolution 3640,certifying that the Housing Authority will meet its Section 504 needs by July 11, 1994. At its regular meeting on June 15, 1992, the Advisory Housing Commission recommended approval of this Resolution. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the Resolution 3644, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa would not be able to receive an extension for Section 504 compliance;would not receive approval of its CGP application; and would forfeit approximately $2.1 million in annual funding for public housing modernization activities.
