tion of'the City of Richmond. Consortium members include Contra Costa County as the Urban County
representative and the participating jurisdictions of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek. As the
designated Consortium representative, the County is authorized to act on the behalf of the Consortium.
The Consortium receives CDBG,HOME,and Emergency Shelter Grant funds on an annual allocation basis through
HUD. As a condition to receiving this funding,federal regulations require participating jurisdictions to certify that
they are affirmatively furthering fair housing..In order to meet HUD requirements, jurisdictions must identify
impediments to fair housing choice within the jurisdiction, take appropriate actions to overcome the identified
impediments, and maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions taken. The first part of this requirement is
fulfilled through the preparation of an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). Each Consortium
member currently has an AI; however, HUD requires the Al to be updated at least every five years. The proposed
Consortium Al will expand, update, and incorporate the individual Consortium members' AIs into a single
document.
On behalf of the Consortium,the County Community Development Department distributed a request for proposals
to prepare the Al to over 30 consultants. The department received two proposals. A representative of each
Consortium member reviewed the proposals and 'by unanimous consent recommended the selection of
Cotton/Bridges/Associates to prepare the.Al update at a total cost of$55,650.Funding sources for the preparation of
the Al include S 18,550 in CDBG funds and$9,275 each from the cities of Antioch,Concord,Pittsburg,and Walnut
Creek.
