HOME Investment Partnership Act Program. The Contra Costa
Consortium consists of the following members : Contra Costa County,
representing the Urban County; City of Antioch; City of Concord;
City of Pittsburg; and City of Walnut Creek. The Consortium
includes all of Contra Costa with the exception of the City of
Richmond, which is an independent PJ for purposes of HOME.
HOME funds are allocated through HUD by formula to eligible
Participating Jurisdictions . The FY 1994 allocation for the Contra
Costa HOME Consortium is $2, 186,000 . In order to receive HOME
funds, the Consortium must prepare a HOME Program Description
stating how these funds will be used to expand affordable housing
in the Consortium area. The Program Description and required
certifications must be submitted to HUD for approval by April 14 ,
1994 .
As the Consortium Representative, Contra Costa County is authorized
to act in a representative capacity for all Consortium members and
is responsible for ensuring that the HOME Program is carried out in
compliance with the National Affordable Housing Act and federal
regulations . On behalf of the Consortium and in consultation with
Consortium members, the County Community Development Department has
prepared the FY 1994 HOME Program Description. Housing priorities
and strategies proposed in this document are fully consistent with
the Consortium' s previously approved Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy and the County' s General Plan Housing
Element. As proposed, program priorities for the allocation of FY
1994 HOME funds are:
o the acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of
additional multifamily rental housing affordable to very-low
and low-income households;
0 owner-occupied housing rehabilitation programs for very-low
and low-income households; and
o first-time homebuyer' s programs to assist very-low and low-
income households in obtaining affordable housing.
Following approval of the FY 1994 Consortium HOME Program
Description by the Board of Supervisors and HUD, a HOME Investment
Partnership Act Agreement must be executed between Contra Costa
County as the Consortium Representative and HUD. At this point,
the Consortium will proceed with the allocation of FY 1994 HOME
funds through a competitive application process .
