BACKGR UMMEA_SQNS FOR RECOMMENDAIlONS
On April 27, 1999,the Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of$963,750 to the FY 1999/2000
CDBG/HDAF. The purpose of the HDAF is to provide resources to assist affordable housing projects that
develop during the current program year. Approval of the recommended fund transfers will consolidate existing
unused and unallocated housing resources in the FY 1999/2000 CDBG/HDAF to facilitate their use for
additional affordable housing development. If all of the proposed fund transfers are approved,the balance of the
FY 1999/2000 CDBG/HDAF will be $1,893,213. During the preceding fiscal year, $2 million in CDBG/HDAF
funds were used to finance three affordable housing projects,which when complete,will result in the new
construction of 221 affordable multifamily rental units in Central and Nest County. Based on current
applications, letters of intent, and discussions with affordable housing developers, staff has identified potential
requests for FY 1999/2000 CDBG/HDAF funds in the range of$2 million, including emergency and
transitional shelters, affordable multi-family housing and affordable senior housing.
On April 27, 1999,the Board of Supervisors approved an allocation of$35,000 in FY 1999/2000 CDBG funds
to Contra Costa Legal Services Foundation(CCLSF). CCLSF provides legal assistance to households
experiencing illegal discrimination, and legal support to the County's fair housing agencies. CCLSF was also
allocated$35,000 in FY 1998/99 CDBG funds of which$1,370 remains unexpended. CCLSF is prepared to
complete the FY1998/99 scope of work in FY 1999/2000. In combination with the $35,000 previously
approved, the total budget for this project will be $36,370 in the current fiscal year.
