Battered Women's Alternatives
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On October 12, 1993,the Board of Supervisors approved an allocation of$105,000 in FY 1993 HOME Investment
Partnership Act funds to Battered Women's Alternatives for use in establishing a new emergency and transitional
housing shelter for battered women and children in Central Contra Costa County. On March 1, 1994, the Board
approved an additional $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funds for this same purpose.
In order to establish the Shelter, BWA will acquire an existing multifamily housing complex in Pacheco and
rehabilitate the structures to provide 24 emergency shelter beds and eight units of transitional housing. In addition
to shelter,BWA will provide a variety of appropriate onsite services, including but not limited to counseling, child
care, and employment and job readiness training. In addition, clients will be referred to appropriate offsite services.
Emergency shelter and services will be provided at no cost to the target population, while the transitional housing
units will be affordable to and occupied by very-low income battered women/children. Rents for the transitional units
will not exceed the HOME rent maximums or 30 percent of gross monthly income, whichever is less.
The total costs of this project is $1,398,550. The development budget and sources of funds for this project are:
Source Amount
County FY 1994/95 CDBG $150,000
County FY 1993 HOME $105,000
City of Antioch CDBG $ 28,000
City of Concord CDBG $113,584
City of Walnut Creek CDBG $ 28,000
FHLB Affordable Housing Program $ 60,000
Private Donations $393,966
Private Lender Financing $500,000
BWA Funds X000
TOTAL $1,398,550
Use Amount
Predevelopment $ 42,250
Acquisition $927,000
Rehabilitation $409,300
Relocation 20,000
TOTAL $1,398,550
County CDBG and HOME funds will be used to cover a portion of the site acquisition costs. All County funds will
be provided to BWA for this project in the form of a 40-year deferred loan. Affordability and use restrictions will
be recorded against the property and will apply through the loan term. At the end of 40 years, the loan may be
forgiven in exchange for an additional 20 years of required affordability and use as emergency/transitional housing.
BWA has been providing emergency shelter and services in the County for 16 years, including operation of the only
transitional housing shelter for abused women and children. Completion of the current emergency and transitional
housing project will contribute substantially to the County's efforts to serve this vulnerable population.
