BACKGROUND/REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
I CDBG - Family and Human Services, Finance, Economic Development, and Affordable Housing Finance
Committee Recommendations:
This is the twcnty-third year of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the primary intent of
which is to benefit low and moderate income persons in the Urban County. Funds are allocated annually, according
to formula by HUD, to eligible Participating Jurisdictions. The County Community Development Department
administers CDBG funds on behalf of the Urban County. (The "Urban County" comprises the unincorporated County
and all cities except, Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond and Walnut Creek.) The 1997/98 CDBG funding
recommendations by the Committees allocates funds to projects/programs that benefit low -and moderate- income
persons and communities, households,and special needs populations.
A total of 99 applications requesting approximately $7.4 million were reviewed and considered for funding. Funding
recommendations were made by the following committees: housing category, Affordable Housing Finance Committee
(Exhibit A), economic development category, Economic Development Committee (Exhibit B ), OPEN category,
Finance Committee (Exhibit C), public service category, Family and Human Services Committee (Exhibit D). Each
Committee considered staff recommendations and public comment to formulate its recommendation for consideration
by the Board of Supervisors. The required Notice of Public Hearing and the proposed use of funds as described in the
Action Plan (Exhibit E)has been published.
II HOME-Affordable Housing Finance Committee Recommendations:
The purpose of the HOME Program is to increase and maintain the supply of affordable housing for lower income
households. Funds are allocated on a formula basis by HUD to eligible Participating Jurisdictions(PJs) and Consortia.
The Contra Costa Consortium area consists of the unincorporated County plus all cities except Richmond. The City
of Richmond is an independent HOME PJ. As the Consortium Representative, the County is responsible for
administration and management of the HOME Program.
A total of five applications requesting $1.4 million were reviewed and considered. The Affordable Housing Finance
Committee considered staff recommendations and public comment(exhibit A) to formulate its recommendation to the
Board of Supervisors.
III FY 1997/98 Action Plan
The Action Plan describes the activities the County will undertake during the year to address priority needs, in terms
of local objectives, that were identified in the FY 1995-99 Contra Costa Consolidated Plan. The description identifies
the objectives that will be addressed by activities using grant funds and program income received during the program
year, proposed accomplishments, and a target date for completion of the activity. The Action Plan must also include
actions the County plans to undertake during the year to address obstacles to meeting under served needs, foster and
maintain affordable housing ,reduce the number of poverty level households, develop institutional structures, enhance
coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.
IV Board of Supervisors Considerations
On December 14, 1993 the Board of Supervisors adopted Funding Guidelines for CDBG funds. The Funding
Guidelines require the following:
Category of Use Percent of Grant
Housing 50%
Housing Programs/Projects 35%
Housing Development Assistance Fund 15%
Public Service* 15%
Economic Development 15%
OPEN 5%
Program Administration 13%

VI Board Action
As listed above $79,340 in CDBG funds is available for allocation by the Board of Supervisors subsequent to the public
hearing. In addition$35,000 has been recovered from prior year allocations to also be allocated with FY 97/98 funds.
Therefore, a total of$114,340 is available for programing by the Board. The Board may use up to $75,000' of this
$114,340 for allocations to public service programs without exceeding the statutory cap. Of course,the Board may also
reprogram fiords recommended by the Committees should it desire to do so.
In order to begin the program year on time,the Board must approve the FY 1997/98 Action Plan by April 8, 1997 for
transmittal to HUD by April 15, 1997.
VII Revised methodology for the allocation of CDBG funds.
The existing methodology for the allocation of CDBG funds was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in December
of 1993. The allocation by percentage allowed 13%of the grant amount to be used for program administration. This
worked successfully for a few years, however administrative budgetary requirements now exceed the formula amount,
Federal regulation allows up to 20% of the annual grant amount to be used for program administration. Program.
administration under the federal cap includes; administrative costs for carrying out the program pursuant to federal
regulation,required fair housing programs,and eligible planning and capacity building activities.
Administrative costs are increasing due to inflation and cost-of-living adjustment, and due to the evolving and complex
federal oversight responsibilities the County must adhere to. In addition, the total amount of the annual CDBG grant
has been decreasing in an absolute sense, therefore the amount derived by the Board's adopted percentage allocation
has been dropping. It is likely that this trend will continue. The number of funded projects, and therefore the number
of contracts to administer,has not been dropping.
`Use of CDBG funds for Public Service cannot exceed 15 percent of grant amount
plus 15 of program the program income received during the grantee's immediately
preceding program year.
3
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the existing allocation formula be maintained and supplemented with an additional process to
determine administrative requirements that are in excess of the formula amount. To the extent administrative
requirements exceed the formula amount the marginal requirements will be secured by reducing the formula allocation
on a proportional basis among the other five categories: Housing; economic development; OPEN; public service;
contingency-

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Act
(HOME) Program funds represent two major sources of financing for affordable housing
development in Contra Costa. These funds are allocated on an annual basis by formula to the
County through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
purpose of the CDBG Program is to develop viable urban communities through the provision
of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for
persons of very-low and low income. Similarly, the purpose of the HOME Program and of
the County's Affordable Housing Program is to increase and maintain the supply of decent,
safe housing affordable to and occupied by very-low and low-income households.
Within this context, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors adopted the following priorities
for use of the Consortium's HOME funds and the County's CDBG funds in the FY 1995-99
Contra Costa Consolidated Plan:
o acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of multifamily housing affordable to very-
low and low-income households;
0 owner-occupied housing rehabilitation programs for very-low and low-income households,
o first-time homebuyer programs to assist very-low and low-income households in acquiring
affordable housing;
o development of appropriate supportive housing for the County's special needs populations;
o development of emergency and transitional housing for the County's homeless populations;
and
a programs and projects to alleviate problems of housing discrimination.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND ALLOCATION PROCESS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On June 27, 1995, the Board of Supervisors established the Affordable Housing Finance
Committee (AHFC) to work with the Community Development Department to develop
recommendations for the Board concerning the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds for
affordable housing development. The FY 1997/98 funding recommendations are the result of a
competitive application process initiated in September of 1996. A Notice of Funding Availability
was sent to over 100 jurisdictions, public agencies, affordable housing developers and interest
groups active in the Urban County and Consortium area. The Department received twelve
applications requesting a total of $3,936,000 ($2,480,000 in HOME funds and $1,456,000 in
CDBG). Projects were reviewed and recommendations developed based on the following criteria:
1. consistency with Consortium/County housing priorities;
2. eligibility under federal regulations;
3, target population and the alleviation of affordable housing needs;
4. project feasibility and cost-effectiveness;
5. match and leveraging of other resources;
6. experience;
7. affirmative marketing program;
8. timeliness;
9. local/community support; and
10. environmental issues.
The AHFC met on March 5, 1997 to consider staff funding recommendations for affordable
housing projects. The meeting was noticed and members of the public including project sponsors
were invited to attend and provide input into the allocation process. Following discussion and

Proiects Not Recommended for Current Funding
Three proposals were withdrawn by the project sponsors during the application process:
o request for$144,375 in HOME funds for affordable housing development in Pittsburg (H-
97-9) was withdrawn by Pittsburg Preschool Coordinating Council based on lack of an
identified site and incomplete budget;
o request for $645,000 in HOME funds for the Courtyard Plaza/Maplewood Apartment
Project in Concord (H-97-16) was withdrawn by Affordable Housing Associates due to
an inability to obtain additional required financing from the City of Concord; and
0 request for $55,044 in HOME funds for acquisition of the Green Street Group Home for
mentally disabled adults in Martinez (H-97-20) was withdrawn by Regional Employment
Services of the East Bay due to organizational problems experienced by the project
lin accordance with Board of supervisor guidelines, 15 percent of each year's allocation of HOME and
CDBG funds is recommended for allocation to the appropriate HDAF. In FY 1997/98, this would result in the
following allocations: $595,050 to the CDBG/HDAF and $344,250 to the HOME/HDAF. In addition, the
Affordable Housing Finance Committee recommends that all funds not allocated to affordable housing projects
in the current funding found be placed in the HDAF, including an additional $509,250 in CDBG funds and
$531,250 in HOME funds.

sponsor.
Three projects were not recommended for funding:

demonstrate need or meet County funding requirements;
o request for $10,000 in HOME funds for acquisition of a group home by Youth Homes,
Inc. (1-1-97-15) was not recommended as ineligible under federal regulations; and

BACKGROUND/REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As an eligible Urban County, as defined by HUD, Contra Costa
County receives funds annually to carry out CDBG eligible
activities . The Urban County's eligible area is the entire
County, less the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond,
and Walnut Creek, which implement independent CDBG programs . The
purpose of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban
communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable
living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for
persons of low-and moderate-income.
Each year the Board of Supervisors approves the allocation of
CDBG funds . Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on December 14, 1993, 5% of the CDBG grant may be
used for OPEN programs . Twenty-six applications, totaling
$2,570, 831 were submitted in the OPEN category, which provides
funding for public facilities and infrastructure improvements .
The allocation for FY 1997/98 is $3,976 ,000, allowing $198, 350
to be used for OPEN programs . Attachment C-1 includes a
discussion of the Open category objectives and the allocation
process .
The Committee met on March 3, 1997 to review staff
recommendations (Attachment C-2) and receive testimony from open
applicants . We identified three projects we believe should be
considered for additional funding if funds become available
(Attachment C-3) .

BACKGROUND/REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As an eligible Urban County, as defined by HUD, Contra Costa County
receives funds annually to carry out CDBG eligible activities . The
Urban County's eligible area is the entire County, less the Cities
of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond, and Walnut Creek, which
implement independent CDBG programs . The purpose of the CDBG
program is to develop viable urban communities through the
provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and
expanded economic opportunities for persons of low-and moderate-
income.
Each year the Board of Supervisors approves the allocation of CDBG
funds . The use of CDBG funds for public service is limited to a
maximum of 158 of the annual grant amount (CFR 570.201(e) ( 1) ) . The
amount available for allocation in the public service category for
FY 1997/98 is $595,000 . Fifty applications were received with
requests for funds totaling $2 . 1 million. Attachment D-1 includes
a discussion of public service objectives and the allocation
process .
The Committee met on February 24, 1997 to review staff
recommendations (Attachment D-2) and receive testimony from public
service applicants . The Committee met again on March 3, 1997 to
receive additional testimony and to identify projects which should
be considered for funding, or an increase to recommended funds . We
identified six project we believe should be considered if funds
become available (Attachment D-3) . In addition the Committee
requested CDBG staff to provide the funding rationale for 14
applications (Attachment D-4 ) .
