TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: RICHARD J. MARTINEZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: MARCH 7, 1995
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SUBMIT AN
APPLICATION FOR FUNDS FROM THE CITY OF ANTIOCH COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT` BLOCK GRANT FOR RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
i
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa to submit an application for $100,000
funding from City; of Antioch Community Development Block Grant
Program funds for Fiscal Year 1995-96 for the Rental
Rehabilitation Program; and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to
execute all forms necessary in this endeavor.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No funds from; the Housing Authority of County of Contra Costa
will be expended. Funding comes from The City of Antioch's
allocation of CDBG'. The Rental Rehabilitation Program operated by
the Housing Authority will be expanded to serve Antioch's need to
rehabilitate affordable rental housing for Low Income families . The
$100,000 in CDBG ,funds will leverage approximately $100,000 in
private funds to repair approximately nine rental housing units .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
i;
On January 31, 1995 the Board authorized application for
$50,000 for the program in an order that contained a clerical
error. The intention of the agency is to apply for $100,000 and
this recommendation corrects the earlier authorization. There is
a demonstrated need for decent affordable rental housing for Lower
Income families countywide. Antioch's funding allocation will
leverage private ,'investment to rehabilitate affordable rental
housing by providing financial incentives and technical assistance.
IV. CONSEQUENCESOF NEGATIVE ACTION
Fewer affordable and decent rental housing units will be
available to low income families in the City of Antioch. Neglect
of deteriorated housing leads to poor environments for citizens and
a decreased tax base affecting the entire County.
