FINANCE COMMITTEE FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
This is the thirty-first year of the CDBG program. A newsletter celebrating.the 30 years of

• A suitable living environment; and
• Economic opportunity

The County Community Development Department administers CDBG funds on behalf of the
Urban County. The"Urban County"includes the unincorporated County and all cities except
Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond, and Walnut Creek, who administer independent
CDBG programs. The FY 2006/07 and FY 2007/08 (contingent on the availability of funds)
funding;recommendations-by,the Committees allocate'funds to projects/programs that benefit
extremely-low, very-low and low-income communities, households, persons, and special
needs populations. Funding recommendations were made by the following Committees:
• Family.and Human Services—Public Service category(Attachment A—yellow)
. _Finance' -' Economic' Development category (Attachment B — green) and
Infrastructure/Public Facilities category(Attachment C—purple)

published on April 7, 2006 in the Contra Costa Times, West Valley Times, Valley Times,
Antioch Ledger, and Brentwood News.

housing for lower income households. Funds are allocated to eligible Participating
Jurisdictions(PJs)and Consortia on a formula basis by HUD. The Contra Costa Consortium
consists of the unincorporated County plus all cities except the City;of 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 6 applications requesting $4 million in HOME funds were reviewed and considered
by the AHFC. The AHFC considered staff recommendations and public comment
(Attachment D)to determine its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
3. FY 2006/07 ACTION PLAN
The Action Plan describes the activities the County will undertake during the program year to
address priority needs identified in the Contra Costa County Consolidated Plan. The Action
Plan identifies the use of grant funds and program income received during the program year
by activity, and proposed accomplishments. The Plan also includes actions the County
proposes to undertake during the year to address obstacles in meeting underserved persons,
foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce the number of households living under the
poverty level, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies.
In order to begin the program year on time,the FY 2006/07 Action Plan must be approved by
the Board and submitted to HUD by May 14,2004
4. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

the allocation of CDBG funds (public service, economic development, and
infrastructure/public facilities projects). FY 2007/08 funding is contingent on the availability of
funds and, in the case of public service and economic development projects, satisfactory
performance during FY 2006/07.
6. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FUNDING GUIDELINES

considered by the Board in the fall of 2006.

CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA.programs. Revisions to the current Citizen Participation Plan
(last revised April 2003) include updating the CDBG Eligible Activities to be consistent with the
FY 2005/09 Consolidated Plan, increasing the amount of time for public review of substantial
amendments from fourteen to thirty days, and adding the Residential Anti-displacement and

BACKGROUNDIREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Contra Costa County receives funds annually to carry out Community Development Block
Grant(CDBG)eligible activities. 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 extremely-low, very low- and low-
income. The funding recommendations are the result of a competitive application process
initiated in December, 2005. A total of fifty-five applications in the Public Service (PS)
category requesting$1.1 million in CDBG funds were reviewed by staff and the Family and
Human Services Committee.
Consistent with Board of Supervisor guidelines, 15 percent of the County's annual CDBG
grant is allocated to PS projects. The total CDBG grant for FY 2006/07 is$3,541,040.
This amount is 10 percent less than what the County received this fiscal year and over 17
percent less than what,it received in FY 2003/04. Additionally, if the Federal
Administration's budget proposal is approved by Congress,the CDBG program will be cut
an additional 25 percent in FY 2007/08; however this does not seem likely at this time.
Pursuant to the Board's guidelines a total of$531,156(15%of grant amount)is available
for PS projects. In addition, there is$36,052 available to be recaptured from previous
year's PS projects and. $80,000 is contributed from the Housing category for
landlord/tenant and fair housing services. In addition, the Board has established a 2%
contingency fund that is available for Public Service, Economic Development,
Infrastructure/Public Facilities, and/or Housing projects. In the past, the Board has
allocated the full amount of the contingency fund to PS projects. Based on the FY
2006/07 CDBG allocation,there is a total of$70,820 available from the contingency fund.
Consequently, a total of$718,028 is available. The Committee recommends allocating
these funds to 38 eligible PS projects.
The following criteria were used in developing the funding recommendations:1)consistency
with program priorities and eligibility under federal regulations, 2) ability to reach target
population and alleviate need, 3) project feasibility and cost effectiveness, 4) match and
leveraging of other resources, 5) experience and capacity, 6) project readiness and
timeliness, and 7)past performance.
COMMITTEE MEETING
The Committee met on April 3, 2006 to consider staff funding recommendations for PS
projects. The meeting was noticed and project applicants were encouraged to attend the
meeting and provide input into the allocation process. Approximately 25 people attended
the Committee meeting. Most speakers supported staff recommendations and thanked the
Committee for its past support.
Following discussion,the Committee approved staff's funding-recommendations,including
the use of the Board's contingency funds(see Attachment A-1).,
The FY 2006/07 funding recommendations are consistent with the priorities adopted by the
Board for use of CDBG funds contained in the Contra Costa County Consolidated Plan.
The following priorities for public services projects are listed in the Consolidated Plan:
• General Public Services: Ensure that opportunities and services are provided to
improve the quality of life and independence for lower income persons and ensure
access to programs that promote prevention and early intervention related to a
variety.of social concerns such as hunger, substance abuse and other issues.
• Seniors: Enhance the quality of life of senior citizens and enable them to maintain
independence.
• Youth:. Increase opportunities for children/youth to be healthy,succeed in school,
and prepare for productive adulthood.
• Homeless Services: Reduce incidence of homelessness and assist in alleviating
the needs of the homeless.
t +
• Non-Homeless Special Needs: Ensure that opportunities and services are provided
to improve the quality of life and independence for persons with special needs such
as frail elderly,disabled persons,migrant farm workers,abused children,those with
substance abuse problems, illiterate adults, battered spouses, and persons with
HIV/AIDS.
• Landlord/Tenant and Fair Housing: Continue to promote landlord/tenant counseling
and fair housing activities that affirmatively further fair housing.

The funding recommendations are the result of a competitive application process
initiated in October, 2005. A total of five applications in the Infrastructure/Public
Facilities (IPF)) category requesting $329,494 in CDBG funds were reviewed by staff
and the Finance Committee.
The County's total CDBG program allocation for FY 2006/07 is $3,541,040 or 10
percent less than it received this fiscal year and over 17 percent less that what it
received in FY 2004/05. Consistent with the Board of Supervisors (Board) guidelines,
$138,101 may be used for eligible IPF projects. In addition, there is$29,951 available
in recaptured funds from closed/completed projects. Therefore, a total of $168,052 is
available for eligible IPF projects in FY 2006/07.
In October 2003, the Board authorized establishing a two-year funding cycle for the
allocation of CDBG funds. Consequently, staff estimates that $126,442 will be
available in FY 2007/08. The Committee and staff also recommend allocating$90,000
in FY 2007/08 funds to the Matteo's Dream project on a pre-award basis. Typically
CDBG funds cannot be used for costs incurred prior to the start of the award year.
However,the Matteo's Dream project will be substantially completed in FY 2006/07 with
other funds, including City of Concord CDBG. Concord staff will take the lead on the
project ensuring all activities are done in compliance with federal regulations, which will
allow the County to successfully meet the pre-award requirements, and use FY 2007/08
CDBG to pay for project costs incurred in FY 2006/07.
Funding recommendations were developed using the following criteria: 1)consistency with
program priorities and eligibility under federal regulations, 2) ability to reach target
population and alleviate need, 3) project feasibility and cost effectiveness, 4) match and
leveraging of other resources, 5) experience and capacity, 6) project readiness and
timeliness,and 7)past performance.
COMMITTEE MEETING
The Finance Committee met on April 6, 2006 to consider staff funding recommendations
for IPF projects. The meeting was noticed and project applicants were encouraged to
attend the meeting and provide input into the allocation process. Several speakers spoke
to support staff recommendations and thanked the Committee for its support.
The Finance Committee approved the recommendations as listed in Attachment C-1.The
funding recommendations are consistent with the priorities adopted by the Board for use
of CDBG funds contained in the FY 2005/09 Contra Costa County Consolidated Plan.
The following priority for Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects is listed in the
Consolidated Plan:
CD-8: Maintain quality public facilities and adequate infrastructure, and ensure
access for the mobility-impaired by addressing physical access barriers to public
facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund impact.CDBG and HOME funds are provided to the County on a formula allocation
basis through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD).
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
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
extremely-low,very-low and low income. Similarly,the purpose of the HOME program is to increase
and maintain the supply of decent,safe housing affordable to and occupied by lower 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 Urban County's CDBG affordable housing
funds in the proposed FY 2005/09 Contra Costa Consortium Consolidated Plan:
H-1 Expand housing opportunities for lower-income households through an increase in the supply
of decent,safe and affordable rental housing and rental assistance.
H-2 Increase homeownership opportunities for lower-income households.
H-3 Maintain and preserve the affordable housing stock.
H-4 Improve the public housing stock.
H-5 Adopt the Continuum of Care Plan and the"Ending Homelessness in.Ten Years"as the
overall approaches to addressing homelessness in the Consortium.
H-6 Assist the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless by providing emergency,
transitional and permanent affordable housing with appropriate support services.
H-7 Increase the supply of appropriate and supportive housing for special needs populations.
H-8 Remove constraints to affordable housing development.
Affordable Housinq Fund Allocation Process
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 2006/07 funding recommendations are the result of a competitive application process initiated in
October of 2005.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 14 applications requesting approximately$7.5 million($3.5 million in
CDBG funds and$4 million in HOME). Projects were reviewed and recommendations developed
based on the following criteria:
• consistency with Consortium/County housing priorities
• eligibility under federal regulations
• target population and the alleviation of affordable housing needs
• project feasibility and cost-effectiveness
• match and leveraging of other resources
• experience
• affirmative marketing program
• project readiness/timeliness
• local/community support
• environmental, prevailing wage,and relocation issues.
The AHFC met on March 1 and April 5,2006 to consider staff funding recommendations for CDBG-
housing and HOME projects. Members of the public, including project sponsors,were invited to
attend and provide input into the allocation process. Following discussion and comment on each
project,the AHFC developed recommendations for the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds for
affordable housing programs and projects.
The attached table is a summary of the AHFC actions.This will replace the FY 2006/07 Mini Action
Plan adopted on May 3,2005.
CEQA review
All of the housing projects have either undergone CEQA review or will undergo CEQA review before
the County enters into project agreements and/or loan documents.

Introduction
The Contra Costa County FY 2006/07 Action Plan describes recommendations for funding of
specific projects and programs to address housing, economic development, infrastructure/public
facility improvements, and public service needs utilizing Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG), and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)funds.
These funds are allocated annually to entitlement communities through the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to carry out a wide range of community development
activities that benefit lower income persons and households'. In order to receive annual
allocations,jurisdictions must submit a five-year Consolidated Plane and an annual Action Plan.
The FY 2005/09 Contra Costa Consortium Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) identifies
priority needs, strategies to meet the priority needs, and goals to be addressed during the five-
year period for housing, economic development, infrastructure/public facilities, and public
services. The Action Plan must demonstrate the linkage between the use of funds and the specific
objectives developed to address needs identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan.
:Program Description
Community Development Block Grant
The primary purpose of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing
decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities principally
for persons of low income. The County's goal is to develop and conserve viable communities in
areas where blight and disinvestment threaten residents' safety, vitality and productivity. County
CDBG funds can be used only for projects that benefit Urban County residents. Since 1975,
Contra Costa County has used the CDBG program and a variety of housing programs to improve
the quality of life and physical conditions in its lower income communities.
HOME Investment Partnerships Act
The purpose of the HOME program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing for very-low and low-income households. In June of 1993, Contra Costa,
County as the Urban County representative, and the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and
The Contra Costa County CDBG,HOME,ESG,and HOPWA programs use the following income definitions: Extremely-low
income households are defined as households with incomes at or below 30 percent of the area median income (AMI)for the
Oakland PMSA as adjusted for household size. Very-low income households are defined as households with incomes at or
below 50 percent AMI, and low-income households are households with incomes at or below 80 percent AMI. Although
CDBG regulations use the terms low and moderate income to describe households with incomes at or below 50 percent and 80
percent AMI respectively, the County has elected to use the terms very-low and low-income to be consistent with its other
programs.
s The Consolidated Plan is available for review at the Community Development Department or visit our web site at
www.ccreach.ore.
3 The Urban County consists of all of Contra Costa with the exception of the cities of Antioch,Concord,Pittsburg,Richmond and
Walnut Creek. These cities are separate entitlement jurisdictions under the CDBG program.
I
FY 2006/07 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6, 2006
Walnut Creek,joined together to form a Consortium for purposes of participation in the HOME
program. The City of Richmond operates an independent HOME program. HOME funds may be
used for projects to acquire, rehabilitate, and construct housing for lower-income households in
the Consortium area.
Emergency Shelter Grants
The purpose of the ESG program is to provide emergency shelter and related services to the
County's homeless populations. Eligible activities include: the rehabilitation and conversion of
buildings for use as :emergency shelters; the provision of essential services to the homeless;
operating support for emergency shelters; and homeless prevention activities. ESG funds are
limited to projects and programs benefiting Urban County residents.
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
The purpose of the HOPWA Program is to provide'affordable housing, housing counseling and
advocacy:programs for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS who are either homeless or have
unstable housing. The County represents all Contra Costa jurisdictions for purposes of
administering the HOPWA program.4 .
Available Resources
The County will.have $9.9 million in federal resources for FY 2006/07. The following sections
breakdown the proposed sources and uses of those funds. Funds are allocated by the County
annually through a competitive application process to community and social service agencies,
public agencies, non-profit and for-profit housing developers, and businesses to implement
programs that provide affordable housing and strengthen and revitalize lower income
communities.
On May 9,2006, a public hearing was held before the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
(Board) on the proposed allocation of FY 2006/07 CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships
Act funds, and-the pre-award of$90;000 in FY 2007/08 CDBG funds for the Matteo's Dream
project � Subsequent to the close of the public hearing, the Board considered the
recommendations for funding of FY 2006/07 projects from the Board Family and Human
Services (public service projects) and Finance (economic development and infrastructure/public
facilities projects) Committees, and the Affordable Housing -Finance Committee (housing
projects). Attachment A summarizes projects to be funded with CDBG and HOME funds during
FY 2006/07. The allocation „process for ESG funds will be initiated in June 2006 and
recommendations for funding submitted to the Board in September 2006. The allocation process
for HOPWA funds will be initiated in the fall of 2006.
"Pursuant to the National Affordable Housing Act,HOPWA funds are allocated on an annual basis to the City of Oakland for the
Oakland PMSA,which includes Alameda and Contra Costa County. Contra Costa receives a formula share of HOPWA funds
through the City of Oakland.

an infrastructure/public facility project,Matteo's Dream. The pre-award status allows the County
to use FY 2007/08 CDBG funds to pay for activities that began prior to the fiscal year in which
the project was funded. This project will begin in FY 2006/07 with City of Concord CDBG'
funding.

6 The contingency category allows Board of Supervisor flexibility in funding specific projects.
7 The allocation to Program Administration is limited to an amount no greater than twenty percent of the sum of the entitlement
grant plus the income(regular program income and revolving loan income)received by the grantee and its subrecipients during
the program year.As stated above,revolving loan income is included in the base amount used in calculating the twenty percent
allocated to Program Administration. The Program Administration is funded out of the entitlement. The revolving loan income
remains with the revolving loan programs to be used for rehab loans and rehab program administration.

Additional Resources
Match
County policy requires projects funded with CDBG funds to provide a minimum -match as
follows: 10 percent required from non-profit organizations, 25 percent from local government
agencies, and 100 percent from for-profit entities. Public service and economic development
projects (sponsored by non-profit organizations and public agencies) receiving multiple year
funding are further required to increase the level of match for each year of funding up to 50
percent match after year five.

redevelopment areas:Bay Point,Pleasant Hill BART,North Richmond,Rodeo,and Montalvin Manor.
4
FY 2006/07 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
In accordance with federal regulations, all projects funded with Consortium HOME funds are
required to provide a minimum 25 percent permanent match to the project from non-federal
sources. During FY 2006/07,the estimated minimum match for HOME will be $677,840.
In accordance with federal regulations, all projects funded with ESG funds are required to
provide a minimum 100 percent match from non-federal sources. During FY 2006/07, the
estimated minimum match for ESG will be$143,962.
HOPWA regulations do not require matching funds. However, housing development projects
using HOPWA funds must provide HOPWA-assisted units in proportion to the amount of
HOPWA funds in the project.
Leverage
Affordable housing development projects leverage significant additional resources. HOME and
CDBG housing projects likely to be funded in FY 2006/07 are expected. to leverage over $60
million (including required match) in additional.financing. Typical funding sources include city
and County Redevelopment Agency (RDA) funds, HUD-administered resources (e.g., Section
202 and McKinney Act funds), tax-exempt bond revenues, private sector equity investment
through low-income housing tax credits, State resources (e.g., CalHFA financing, Multi-Family
Housing Program),private foundation donations,and private lender loans.
Housing choice vouchers (Section 8) are used to further enhance housing affordability. The
Housing-Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) expects about $3 Million for its
voucher program.
In addition to the federal resources described above, the County estimates the availability of
approximately $2.5 million in housing development resources from the Contra Costa County
RDA10, $6.9 million in Mortgage Credit Certificate resources, and approximately $2.4 million in
funding through the Capital Fund Program.
CDBG projects .in the Economic Development, Infrastructure/Public Facilities, and Public
Service categories leverage substantial additional funds from a variety of sources including
public agencies, private foundations, fundraising, redevelopment agencies, in-kind donations,
fees, and income. Economic Development, Infrastructure/Public Facilities, and Public Service
projects will leverage an estimated $3.3 million, $259,530, and $15.6 million, respectively in
additional funds during FY 2006/07.

information on specific housing projects funded with FY 2006/07 CDBG and HOME funds.
ESG and HOPWA funds will be allocated later in the year through separate competitive
application processes.
In addition to the above federal resources, the County will apply to the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee for approximately $6.9 million in Mortgage Revenue Bond authority. The
County intends to convert this authority into Mortgage Credit Certificates, which will assist 35 to
40 first-time homebuyers in acquiring homes.
The annual goal is to construct 162 units of new housing,rehabilitate 35 owner-occupied homes,
rehabilitate'54 rental units, and assist 30 households in purchasing a home.
American Dream Downpayment Intitiative (ADDI)
Description of planned use of ADDI funds: The Consortium has implemented a program that
facilitates the layering of ADDI funds with other homebuyer assistance programs including those
funded with redevelopment agency, Housing Choice Vouchers, and California State Proposition
46 funds. ADDI funds are provided in a manner consistent with 24 CFR Part 92 Subpart M—
American Dream Downpayment Initiative and the Consortium's established HOME First-time
Homebuyer Shared Equity Loan Program as discussed in Attachment C.
Plan for conducting targeted outreach to residents_ and. tenants of public housing and
manufactured housing: The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) has
established Self-Sufficiency and First-time Homebuyer programs. The Consortium is
coordinating ADDI outreach with the HACCC to target current and prospective participants in
those programs. The Consortium will also work with the County's Mobile Home Advisory
Committee to market the program to residents and tenants of mobile home parks.
Description of activities to ensure suitability of ADDI recipients: ADDI recipients will be
required to complete a housing counseling training prior to purchasing a home. Additional
outreach will be targeted to participants in homeownership counseling programs, individual
development account programs, and other appropriate self-sufficiency and personal wealth
development type programs. These programs prepare low-income households for
homeownership by providing credit counseling, financial literacy classes and homeownership
workshops. Due to limited ADDI resources, only $50,000 in FY 2006/07, the County is using
ADDI fundsprimarily to assist Habitat for Humanity homebuyers.

Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
Attachment A provides information on specific Housing, Public Service, Infrastructure/Public
Facilities, and Economic Development projects to be funded with FY 2006/07 CDBG funds.
Fair Housing
The recommendations of the Contra Costa Consortium Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice (AI) are as follows:
• Participating jurisdictions are strongly recommended to work towards the development of
a Housing Element that is in substantial compliance with State law.
• Through the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan, the Consortium should continue to
allocate resources to encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing
throughout the entire Consortium.
• The Housing Authority of Contra Costa County (HACCC) and the Housing Authority of
the City of Pittsburg should ensure adequate outreach to minority populations regarding
the availability of public housing and Section 8 rental assistance.
• The HACCC and the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg should continue to
conduct outreach efforts to promote acceptance of the Section 8 program by property
owners,particularly in areas outside of minority and poverty concentrations.
• The County,and cities should continue to collaborate to expand affordable housing in
communities where such opportunities are limited.
• When allocating funding and administrative resources for affordable housing
development, the Contra Costa jurisdictions should continue to assign a high priority to
expand affordable housing in communities where such opportunities are limited.
• Participating jurisdictions should consider offering additional regulatory and financial
incentives to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
• Continued efforts to expand the transit zone and to coordinate employment opportunities
and housing for transit-dependent persons along transit corridors should be encouraged.
• Fair housing service providers should continue to expand outreach to the community
regarding fair housing rights.
• Education and outreach to prevent hate crime must be conducted.
• The Consortium should encourage the fair housing service providers to develop one
brochure to describe fair housing services offered by the three service providers.
• Participating jurisdictions should consider providing links on their official web sites to
the web sites of the fair housing service providers.
• Fair housing service providers should work collaboratively to develop a format for
reporting fair housing services that can allow compilation of data to assess trends and
patterns.
• The Consortium and fair housing service providers should consult with lenders to explore
ways to improve access to financing for all.
• The Consortium should support credit counseling services to very low and low income,
particularly minority households.
• When selecting lenders for contracts or participation in local program, jurisdictions
should use CRA ratings and HMDA data, in addition to other criteria, for evaluating
lending performance in underserved areas and populations.
• Participating jurisdictions with a zoning ordinance that contains a definition of a family
should consider removing the definition from the ordinance. An alternative is to revise
9
FY2006107 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
the definition of a family, for zoning purposes, to be synonymous with that of a
household.
• As required by State law, state-licensed community residential care facilities for six or
fewer persons should be included as permitted uses,in all residential zones by right.
• Participating jurisdictions should consider adopting a second unit ordinance to clearly
identify the location, conditions for approval, and permit procedures.
• Participating jurisdictions shouldconsider incorporating density bonus provisions into.the
zoning ordinance.
• If and when establishing task forces/committees to address housing issues, participating
jurisdictions should consider including members who represent the interests and needs of
various segments of the population.
•, The Contra Costa.Consortium jurisdictions will consult and coordinate with other public
agencies and private organizations to expand fair housing choice.
In FY 2006/07,.and in accordance with the recommendations of the Al,•the County will
implement the.following actions to affirmatively further fair housing:
• Through the County's fair housing agency(ies), provide brief fair housing
counseling/advice and legal services , to ' approximately 150 households and
tenant/landlord counseling to approximately 590 households. The agency(ies) will
conduct educational workshops for landlords and tenants, and broadly market their
services to the community.
• Continue County policy of requiring project sponsors to affirmatively market all County-
assisted housing and programs. (See Attachment D for affirmative marketing
procedures.)
• Continue to •require housing development sponsors to provide housing on an equal
opportunity basis without regard to race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status,or national origin.
• Work with the Housing Authorities to develop an outreach and marketing program to.
target minority populations, including those for whom English is a second language.
• Work with other jurisdictions to identify community events to promote diversity and
tolerance.
• Encourage participating jurisdictions to provide links on their official web sites to fair
housing service provider websites.
• Provide technical assistance to fair housing service providers to develop a format for
reporting fair housing services that can be readily interpreted.
• Additional AI recommendations will be addressed on an ongoing basis.

Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
North Richmond was designated as a Redevelopment Area in July 1987. In December 1993, the
North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) was established to further the well-being
and interests of North Richmond residents.
In August 1996,.HUD approved the North Richmond Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
(NRS). The purpose of the NRS is to create opportunities for jobs and housing, viable
neighborhood commercial areas, childcare, safe streets, and access to transportation. Since 1996
most of the objectives identified in the NRS have been met. In addition, the majority of projects
originally identified in the NRS have been completed. This includes the completion and full
occupancy of two housing developments — Community Heritage Apartments, a 52-unit senior
development completed in fall 2000, and Parkway Estates, an 87-unit single-family housing
project completed in fall 2001. The 3`d Street Corridor Transportation and Community
Streetscape Improvements project was completed in June, 2004. The Agency also provided
funding and assisted in leveraging federal funds to initiate the First Time Homebuyer and
Individual Development Accountprograms in North Richmond.
Agency staff has worked with KB Homes to secure approval of plans for a major residential
subdivision near the Richmond Parkway. The Agency has also begun work with Signature
Properties on a proposed General Plan Amendment to allow a major subdivision immediately
north of Wildcat Creek along the Richmond Parkway.
Several agencies have renewed an MOU to continue a coalition to promote affordable housing in
North Richmond. Alliance partners including Contra Costa County, the Redevelopment Agency
of Contra Costa County, the City of Richmond, the City of Richmond Redevelopment Agency,
Richmond Housing Authority, Contra Costa County Housing Authority, Community Housing
Development Corporation of North Richmond and Local Initiatives Support Corporation have
raised $8 million to develop 100 new affordable homes and apartments for low income residents
over the next five years.
In FY 1999/2000 the community of North Richmond prepared a new Community Action Plan.
Through a series of eight focus groups, the needs and desires of the community were identified
and the following mission and vision statements for the community were established.
• Mission Statement: The purpose of the North Richmond Community Action Plan is to be
a blueprint to improve the quality of life and revitalize the community.
• Vision Statement: North Richmond will be a national example of a vibrant, multi-
cultural, unified community that takes pride in its safe, clean environment and
educational opportunities where people want to live,play and raise families.
• Three Year Goals (2000-2003): (1) improve community safety; (2) develop retail
businesses that.meet the employment and service needs of the community; (3) improve
the quality of education; (4) clean up and beautify the environment; and (5) increase
services, activities, and employment for youth.

Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
The NRS is currently being updated but due to staffing issues this update is taking longer than
expected. The County will continue to implement the existing NRS and has allocated funding to
the following projects .that . are targeted, and/or directly benefit the North Richmond'

CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds are..awarded to projects, .and programs on a
competitive allocation basis. The County has a two-year-funding cycle for Public Service,
Infrastructure/Public Facilities; and Economic Development projects. CDBG Housing, HOME,
ESG, and HOPWA project proposals continue to be reviewed on'an annual basis. A Notice of
Funding Availability was published in local newspapers and sent to over 500 jurisdictions,
public agencies, affordable housing developers, community based organizations and interest
groups active in the Urban County and Consortium area. Projects are reviewed and funding
allocations are made based on several criteria including the project's ability to reach and serve its
target population. Consideration is given to project location to ensure that funds are allocated
throughout the County while directing services to those areas and persons with the greatest,need.
Though projects may serve the entire Urban County, as is the case with many Public Service
projects, it is the intent of,the program to target services to areas with the'highest need such as a
revitalization strategy area or a census tract that meets "area benefit"ll criteria. In' all cases,
applicants must demonstrate that they will be able to serve a minimum of 51 percent very-low
and low-income persons or households. However, it has been the County's practice to fund
projects that serve a minimum''of 75 percent extremely low, very low and low-income persons
or households. Further, established policy gives priority to housing projects that provide units
affordable to and occupied by households with extremely low-income. These policies and
practices have ensured that projects/programs serve those areas with the highest need.
Housing activities to meet Consolidated Plan priorities include new construction, rehabilitation, .
and preservation of existing affordable housing. These housing projects have the potential to
"Some areas of the Urban County meet"Area Benefit"criteria,which means at least 51 percent(or as adjusted by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development)of the residents in that area are very low and low-income persons.

FY 2006/07 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
Homeless and Other Special Needs ActlulVes
During FY 2006/07,the County will continue its efforts to expand the availability of housing and
services for the homeless in Contra Costa.
A major factor contributing to problems of the homeless and special needs populations in the
County is the lack of housing affordable to extremely-low and very-low income households as
well as an inadequate supply of accessible,housing. Consequently, the County's strategies to
maintain and increase the supply of affordable housing are equally relevant as strategies to
alleviate problems of these populations14. As .further recognition of the housing needs of .
homeless and at-risk populations;in FY 1998/99,the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors adopted
a policy to encourage the inclusion.of units affordable to extremely-low income,households in
projects funded with CDBG and HOME funds. In addition, a minimum of five percent of all new
housing built with County funds must be accessible to mobility-impaired households and an
additional two-percent must be accessible to hearing/vision impaired. Wherever feasible, the
County also requires the inclusion of accessible units in housing rehabilitation projects..
Strategies to improve housing affordability through direct payment assistance are also effective
in preventing and alleviating homelessness among lower-income and special needs households.
Therefore, the County will continue to pursue additional Section 8 vouchers, FEMA funds,.
.Shelter Plus Care and other resources to assist the currently homeless and at-risk population in
obtaining and maintaining permanent housing.
In addition to strategies to increase the affordable housing supply using CDBG, HOME, and
HOPWA resources, the County will apply for McKinney Act funds to maintain and expand
programs and projects to serve the homeless, including families with children, youth leaving
foster care, victims of domestic violence, and individuals with problems of substance abuse and
mental illness. Potential projects include rental assistance for homeless individuals and families,
continued operating support for permanent and transitional housing projects and multi-service
centers, the potential development of additional permanent housing with support services for
families, and a variety of support services (e.g., outreach, case management, education/job
training, health services, counseling/parent education, substance abuse treatment and money
management).
CDBG funds in the Public Service, category are also targeted to support programs that offer a
variety of services to the homeless and those at-risk of becoming Homeless, as well as to special
needs populations. In FY 2006/07 funds will be allocated for operating expenses of an
emergency shelter for single adults. Funds will also be allocated for supportive services at a
transitional shelter for battered women with children, as well as programs that provide a
homeless hotline, housing counseling and legal services, and food distribution. These services
are available throughout the County. Support services such as client advocacy, job skills
training, independent living skills training, respite care, counseling and case management, and
nutrition education will be provided to the frail elderly, disabled, and the-visually impaired.

FY2006107 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
During FY 2006/07, the County will continue to work with the Homeless Interdepartmental
Interjurisdictional Working Group, Continuum of Care Board, non-profit community, advocacy
groups, interfaith community, business organizations and other relevant community groups to
implement key strategies identified in the five-year Continuum of Care Plan and the Ten Year
Plan to End Homelessness. This will include programs and projects to increase income and
employment opportunities for homeless households, expand needed support services and
programs to prevent homelessness, and increase the availability of housing affordable to
extremely-low income households and homeless persons.
Other Actions
Additional Public Policies to Remove Barriers and Obstacles to the Provision of
Affordable Housing
During FY 2006/07, the County will continue its efforts to remove or ameliorate public policies,
which negatively impact affordable housing development in the Urban County. Specific efforts
to be undertaken include the following:
• Continue to expedite the development application review process for all affordable housing
projects with conforming zoning and with less than 100 units. This will lower housing
development costs by reducing the required processing time by two to three months.
Similarly, expedite the review and approval process for affordable housing appropriatefor
large families.
• In conformance with the General Plan,the County will initiate zoning changes for residential
and designated agricultural sites from current zoning designations to Planned Unit
Development (P-1) in order to streamline the entitlement process for development
applications and increase design flexibility.
• In order to promote the development of affordable housing for seniors, the County will
consider flexibility in design requirements for these projects, including reduced parking,
smaller unit sizes, and common dining facilities.
• The County will comply with State Density Bonus Law. Under the SB 1818, developers are
eligible to receive up to a 35 percent density bonus in exchange for providing 20 percent of
the total units in a project at prices or rents which are affordable to'low income households,
or 11 percent of the units at prices/rents affordable to very-low income households.
• The Board of Supervisors will consider adopting an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO).
The IHO will require all developers of five or more units to provide 20,percent of the units at
affordable costs to either.moderate, low, or very-low income households depending on the
type of project.
• The County will review and develop new regulations to permit the development of
agriculturally related structures on agriculturally zoned land without a use permit in order to
encourage the provision of onsite farmworker housing.
15
FY 2006107 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
• The County Redevelopment Agency provides a full-time equivalent staff position.to expedite
the planning process for affordable housing and other projects located in County
Redevelopment project areas. By definition, these projects are implemented to alleviate
blight and improve affordable housing and overall living conditions within the low-income
community. .
'Lead-based Paint Hazard Implementation Plan
The County will continue to protect young children from lead-based paint hazards in housing
funded with CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOP.WA resources through the implementation of 24
CFR Part 35. The purpose of this regulation is to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards in
federally owned housing and housing receiving federal funds. All subrecipients enter into project
agreements that include requirements for compliance with the lead-based paint regulation. The
Neighborhood Preservation Program, and the Rental Rehabilitation Program have developed
program specific lead hazard reduction implementation plans. All other projects will develop
plans appropriate to the project type and level of funding receivedl$.
Decrease the Number of Poverty Level Households
The County and cities within it employ a variety of strategies to help alleviate poverty, including
efforts to stimulate economic growth and job opportunities, and to provide County residents with
the skills and abilities required to take advantage of those opportunities. The County, a majority
of cities, and their Redevelopment Agencies actively work to attract and retain businesses. Many
are involved in revitalization efforts for their downtown areas utilizing a variety of strategies
such as infrastructure and fagade improvement programs,the State Main Street Program, and the
preparation of revitalization plans to guide future development. The County, through its various
departments, provides services, and supports programs that promote personal responsibility,
independence.and self-sufficiency,
Community Development Department
One of the responsibilities of the County Community Development Department(CDD) is the
management of the CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA programs. Many CDBG and HOME
funded programs are geared toward helping lower-income persons find and maintain stable
housing, receive training for jobs that provide a livable wage, and access support services that
are needed to attain self-sufficiency.
By Board guidelines, 14 percent of the annual grant amount is set aside for economic
development activities. Programs funded under the Economic Development category are
intended to assist businesses with expanding economic opportunities for lower-income persons
and to increase the viability of neighborhood commercial areas. As listed in Attachment A:
15 The requirements of 24 CFR Part 35 vary for different project types(e.g.tenant-based rental assistance,acquisition,and
rehabilitation).The requirements for rehabilitation depend on the level of federal assistance(e.g.less than$5,000 per unit,
$5,001 to$25,000 per unit,and over$25,000 per unit.)
16
FY 2006107 Contra Costa County

Economic Development, several job training and placement and microenterprise assistance
programs have been approved for funding.
In addition to economic development activities, the County works with other jurisdictions and
local non-profits to provide emergency and transitional housing, and support services necessary
to assist the homeless in achieving economic independence.
Redevelopment Agency
The County Redevelopment Agency, a separate legal entity governed by the County's Board of
Supervisors, is administered by the CDD. Redevelopment is one of the most effective ways to
breathe new life into deteriorated areas plagued by social, physical, environmental or economic
conditions, which act as a barrier to new investment by private enterprise. Through
redevelopment, the communities of Bay Point, North Richmond, Contra Costa Centre (formerly
Pleasant Hill BART), Rodeo, and Montalvin Manor receive focused attention and financial
investment to reverse deteriorating trends, create jobs,revitalize the business climate,rehabilitate
and add to the housing stock, and gain active participation and investment by citizens which
would not otherwise occur.
The Redevelopment Agency has several ongoing projects that include circulation and
infrastructure improvements in North Richmond; waterfront and streetscape improvements in
Rodeo; waterfront, infrastructure, and transit-oriented development, housing neighborhood
infrastructure in Bay Point; housing and neighborhood infrastructure and facilities in Montalvin
Manor; and implementation of transit-oriented development program with affordable housing at
Contra Costa Centre. The program of housing, jobs, and retail close to transit is 80 percent
complete at Contra Costa Centre.
Employment and Human Services Department
The County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) is responsible for providing
services to adults, children, families, and the elderly. Divisions within EHSD that directly relate
to the reduction of poverty include the Workforce Development Board, Ca1WORKS, and
General Assistance. Other programs administered by EHSD, that indirectly support economic
self-sufficiency and are intended to provide assistance to families and per to lead productive
lives include,but are not limited to: 1)"Welcome Home, Baby",which provides support to first-
time parents in order to improve the health. and development of newborns; 2) the Family
Preservation Program, which emphasizes keeping families together in a safe, nurturing
environment and providing them with skills that will last when they leave the program; 3)
Service Integration Teams that bring together workers with wide range of different specialties on
a daily basis to provide the best possible services to increase the economic self-sufficiency of
families, improve family functioning, and expand community capacity to support children and
families.

• Where applicable, the County and other Consortium members have developed
standardized forms, including reporting forms and applications in order to streamline and
minimize paperwork.
• The County follows a strategy of supporting programs that provide a variety of
complementary and integrated services to targeted areas, and ensures that service
providers are aware of other organizations that may augment their program.
• The County also participates with other County departments and non-profit organizations
efforts to collaborate on the provision of services.

ATTACHMENT C—FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER'S PROGRAM
The Contra Costa Consolidated Plan has established a priority to increase homeownership
opportunities for very-low and low-income households in the Consortium area. Programs and
projects which will be considered for funding under this component of the HOME and ADDI
programs include:
First-time homebuyer assistance in connection with new housing developments to ensure that a
portion of the units will be affordable to and occupied by low-income households; and
Projects designed to increase neighborhood stability and improve the quality of housing through
an increased incidence of homeownership in an identified target area.
In the latter case, the total financing package for the project may include funds for rehabilitation
as well as acquisition of the residence.
All households receiving this assistance must be first-time homebuyers19 with household
incomes at/below 80 percent of area median income. All assisted households must agree to
occupy the acquired unit as their principle place of residence throughout the loan period; no
temporary subleases will be permitted. In addition, federal regulations require that the appraised
value of units acquired with HOME funds must not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase
price of housing in Contra Costa County(currently $405,650 for a single-family home).
The County as the Consortium Representative will provide first-time homebuyer assistance using
HOME and ADDI funds in the form of a deferred second mortgage designed to fill the gap
between the purchase price of the home and the amount the buyer can afford based on household
income. Specifically, the amount of the second loan will equal the purchase price of the unit
minus the sum of the first mortgage, the homeowner's downpayment2 , and any other sources of
available subsidy. ADDI loans will be limited to the greater of$10,000 or six percent of the
purchase price. In this way, the County will provide just enough subsidy to make the home
affordable to the low-income buyer. All HOME loans will be secured by a promissory note and
deed of trust specifying affordability and resale requirements.
The County will consider applications for first-time homebuyer programs and projects,which are
consistent with the above requirements and employ one of the following approaches:
19The following types of households may also qualify for assistance even if they are not first-time homebuyers: a single
parent with custody of one or more minor children; a displaced homemaker; the owner of a home which does not meet local
codes and cannot be brought into compliance for less than the cost of new construction; or the owner of a manufactured home
which is not affixed to a permanent foundation.
20In general,homebuyers will be required to provide a minimum downpayment of 3 to 5 percent. Higher downpayments will
be encouraged. Downpayment may be in the form of sweat equity or grants or gifts from other sources.
FY2006107 Contra Costa County
Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6,2006
1. A shared equity loan program designed to recapture the HOME subsidy upon sale
or transfer of the property; or
2. A silent second loan program with resale restrictions to maintain affordability and
ensure acquisition of the unit by another qualified homebuyer.
Both programs must fully comply with the previously described Consortium requirements and all.
applicable HOME Program regulations (24 CFR Part 92.254) concerning resale requirements.
These two approaches are described in more detail in the following.
Shared Equity Loan Program. Under this approach, HOME and ADDI funds may be used to
provide deferred second loans to qualified low-income first-time homebuyers. Shared equity
loans are due at the end of the loan term on sale or transfer of the property. Upon resale, the
homebuyer must repay the County the.amount of the second plus a share in the appreciation of
the unit. Unit appreciation is defined as the difference between the original acquisition price and
the resale price. The County's share of the appreciation or "equity share" will equal the amount
of the HOME/ADDI second loan divided by the original acquisition price. All remaining
appreciation accrues to the seller.
For. .example, assume a first-time homebuyer, acquires a home priced at $300,000. with the
following financing:
a. Homeowner downpayment of$10,000;
b. First mortgage of$272,000; and
C. HOME/ADDI silent second in the amount of$18,000.
The County's equity share upon resale is equal to six ,percent of the appreciation in the unit
($18,000 divided by $300,000). Assume the owner sells the unit in five years for $340,000,
resulting in a total appreciation in value of $40,000. Upon resale, the owner must repay the
HOME loan ($18,000)plus the County's share of the appreciation realized on the unit (6 percent
of$40,000 or $2,400). After paying off the first mortgage, the owner receives the value of his
original investment (downpayment plus principal paydown) and "all remaining appreciation
($37,600 in the`example).21 In the event that the unit does not appreciate, the County will
receive only the amount of the silent second ($18,000) upon resale. If the unit depreciates in
value and the homeowner has adequately maintained-the unit, the County will reduce the silent
secondloan repayment proportionately.
Funds recaptured as a result of the repayment of shared-equity loans will be deposited in the
HOME Housing Development Assistance Fund for use in funding future HOME-eligible
proj ects.
Silent Second Loan Program with Resale Restrictions. Under this approach, HOME funds may
be used to provide silent second loans to low-income first-time homebuyers who meet all the
21 If a first-time homebuyer undertakes significant capital improvements on a unit acquired with HOME.funds,appreciation upon
resale will equal the resale price minus the original acquisition price minus the value of the improvements.
requirements previously specified. Depending on financial need and the specific objectives of
the program or project, loans may be zero or low-interest. In addition, units purchased with
assistance through this program component must be maintained as a part of the affordable
housing stock for the following minimum time periods: 20 years for newly constructed units; 15
years for existing units. Affordability will be maintained through the following resale
restrictions,which must be incorporated into the loan documents securing the HOME funds:
1. County as Consortium Representative retains right of first refusal to acquire unit
in resale situation.
2. Sales price to equal the lesser of the current appraised value or the original
acquisition price (plus the value of any capital improvements)times the change in
area median income which has occurred during the period of ownership. This
approach maintains the integrity of the household's original investment in the unit
and.represents a fair return.
3. Upon sale to a qualified household, the first buyer must repay the amount of the
silent second plus accrued interest, if any. The County will consider first-time
homebuyer programs, which forgive the interest after expiration of the minimum
required period of affordability (e.g., 20 years for new construction).
In a resale situation, the County will work with homeowners to identify HOME-eligible
purchasers to acquire the assisted units. While the County will not require the second purchaser
to be a first-time homebuyer, priority will be assigned to low-income households in this
category.
During the period of required affordability, the unit will be maintained as affordable to
households earning 70 percent of area median income22. In order to ensure continued
affordability, the County will provide a new silent second to the new purchaser in the same
amount and with the same terms and conditions as provided to the first buyer. If additional
HOME funds are required to maintain affordability, the second buyer will be required to be a
first-time homebuyer and a new period of affordability will be initiated.
22 Payment of principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) will not exceed 40 percent of the gross monthly income of a
household earning 70 percent of AM]with the following exception. PITT equal to 40 percent of actual gross monthly income
for HOME-eligible households eaming from 70 to 80 percent of AMI will be considered to be affordable.

Action Plan DRAFT dated Apri16,2006
ATTACHMENT D-AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING PROCEDURES
The objective of affirmative marketing within the context of the CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and
ESG Programs is to promote equal access to housing by all groups within the relevant market
area. In order to accomplish this objective in accordance with federal regulations the County has
adopted the following policies and measures:
1. Methods for informing the public. owners, and potential tenants about the CDBG, HOME,
HOPWA, and ESG Programs, federal fair housing laws, and the County's affirmative
marketing policy. Information concerning the availability of funding, housing opportunities,
and fair housing and affirmative marketing requirements will be distributed to: the general
.public; all.jurisdictions and housing agencies located in the County; nonprofit and for-profit
owners and developers of affordable housing; and minority and public interest groups
representing the County's disadvantaged populations. Methods of distribution will include:
a. Press releases to the local news media.
b. Notices concerning County programs and available resources to be posted on
County website with links to detailed program descriptions, application
procedures,requirements and other relevant information.
C. Preparation and distribution of an informational brochure describing the CDBG,
HOME, HOPWA, and ESG Programs, including fair housing and affirmative
marketing requirements, and the Equal Housing Opportunity logo.
d. Meetings and workshops with potential applicants for HOME funds (e.g., cities,
developers, current operators and owners of affordable housing).
e. Meetings and workshops with representatives of minority and other
disadvantaged groups in Contra Costa County, including the NAACP, Familias
Unidas, Pacific Community Services, SHELTER, .Inc., Bay Area Legal Aid,
Independent Living Resource, Area on Aging, Housing Assistance Alliance, and
the Chinese American Political Association.
f. The County will maintain records concerning the above activities, including
copies of press releases, affirmative marketing materials distributed, and
workshops and meetings held with the above groups and organizations.
2. Requirements and practices owners of assisted housing must adhere to in order to carry out
the County's affirmative marketing_procedures and requirements. The County will require
owners of federally-assisted housing to comply with federal fair housing law and employ the
following affirmative marketing activities:
a. Advertise the availability of assisted units on an equal opportunity basis in local
newspapers and community newsletters, such as those published by minority
groups, neighborhood churches, public service organizations, etc.; and on bulletin

Action Plan DRAFT dated April 6, 2006
boards in community gathering spots (e.g., community center, church,
supermarket, laundromat, fair housing/housing counseling agency, and
employment office).
b. Contact ' appropriate neighborhood and community organizations and
representatives of minority and other disadvantaged groups to solicit tenants and
provide' information about the availability of the assisted units on an equal

3. Special outreach procedures to be used by owners of assisted units to solicit applications from
hard-to-reach populations who may not otherwise apply for residence in these units.
a. In conducting the advertising and outreach activities described in 2.a and b above,
owners of assisted units will be required to solicit the cooperation;of appropriate
organizations in the relevant market area in identifying hard-to-reach populations
and informing prospective tenants from these groups of the availability of the
units"on an equal opportunity basis: Organizations-which may be particularly
effective in this effort include community churches, social service organizations,
housing and homeless service providers, and minority and senior citizen groups.
As appropriate, owners may request organizations to assist in distributing
marketing information concerning the availability of rental units through
newsletters, group meetings, and organization.and community bulletin boards.
b. Again, all advertisements, workshops, meetings and notices concerning the

basis.
4. Record keeping_requirements. The County will require recipients of federal funds to keep
records concerning affirmative marketing activities. These records must include copies of
advertisements placed in newspapers/newsletters and on local bulletin`boards, as well as lists
of communitygroups'and organizations contacted to solicit tenants. Recipients will also be
required to keep information on relevant tenant characteristics, including ethnic composition,
income,household size, and age and sex of head of household..
5: Assessment of affirmative.marketing activities. The County will require the information
compiled in 4 above to be reported annually as a component of the project monitoring
process. Affirmative marketing activities will be evaluated to ensure that an adequate level
of activity' is maintained. Tenant characteristics will be compared with population
characteristics in the market area as a further indicator of the effectiveness of the affirmative
marketing program and the-absence of discrimination. Where discrepancies exist, the.County
will work with the project owner to determine whether additional affirmative marketing
measures are required.
Requirements concerning affirmative marketing and fair housing compliance will be
incorporated in contract and loan agreements for all assisted projects. The County will document

ATTACHMENT E—MINORITY AND WOMEN'S BUSINESS OUTREACH PROGRAM
It is the policy of Contra Costa County that Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and
Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs)23 shall have the maximum opportunity to

HOPWA, and ESG Programs. Services provided under such contracts may include, but are not
necessarily limited to: real estate; construction; appraisal; property management; lending;
investment banking; underwriting; accounting and legal representation and advice.
1. In order to implement this policy within the context of federally-funded programs, affirmative
marketing procedures will be employed by the County Community Development Department
to ensure that appropriate MBE/WBEs are notified of the availability of federal funds and
potential contracting opportunities. These procedures include the following:
a. Maintenance of a list of MBE/WBE certifying agencies for use by the County and
prime contractors for funded projects. The list is currently available through the
Contra Costa County Community Development Department.

Contra Costa County; Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Contra Costa County;
National Association of Women Business Owners; Contra Costa Builders
Exchange; Daily Pacific Builder; and the Chinese American Chamber of
Commerce.
C. Where economically feasible, total project requirements will be divided into
smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by MBE/WBEs. In
addition, the County will endeavor to establish delivery schedules for projects
which encourage MBE/WBE participation.
d. As appropriate, use the services and assistance of the Small Business
Administration and Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of
Commerce.
2. In addition to the above measures, the County will also require project sponsors and prime
contractors receiving funds under the CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG programs to solicit
and use qualified MBE/WBEs for subcontract services wherever feasible. All project
contracts will contain a clause requiring contractors to notify applicable MBE/WBE firms of
available contracting and/or subcontracting opportunities. Notification requirements include

Citizen Participation Plan
(Revised April 2006)
Consistent with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Consolidated Plan, Contra Costa County has revised its Citizen Participation Plan.
Implementation of the Plan will enable the community to discuss housing and community
development needs, and the proposed allocation of funds available to address those needs.
Through the Citizen Participation Plan,the County hopes to obtain a broad perspective of
housing and community development needs from citizens and organizations involved in
affordable housing development and community development activities.It is the intent to
provide for and encourage citizen participation with particular emphasis on participation
by persons of very low- and low-income who are residents of the Urban County. The
County will consult with other public and private agencies that provide emergency
housing for homeless, assisted housing for other special needs populations, transitional
housing, health services, social services, and infrastructure needs. The County will also
consult with participating Urban County and Consortiumz cities, particularly concerning
problems and solutions that go beyond a single jurisdiction.
Goals
The five major goals of the Contra Costa County citizen_participation process are as
follows:
1. To provide citizens with adequate and timely information about the range of
activities that may be undertaken through its CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA
programs ("programs"), the kinds of activities previously funded in the County,
1The Urban County consists of all of Contra Costa with the exception of the cities of Antioch,Concord,Pittsburg,
Richmond and Walnut Creek.These cities are separate entitlement jurisdictions under the CDBG program.
2 For the purposes of the HOME program,the Consortium includes the Urban County and the cities of Antioch,
Concord,Pittsburg,and Walnut Creek. The City of Richmond operates its own HOME program.
the level of funding available to carry out these activities, and the estimated
amount of funds that will benefit very low- and low-income persons;
2. To provide an appropriate means to ensure the involvement of very low and
low-income residents most likely to be affected by the programs and to provide
reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of involvement of citizens or citizen
organizations throughout all stages of the programs.
3. To provide citizens with anadequate opportunity to articulate needs, express,
preferences about proposed activities, assist in the selection of priorities, and the
development of the programs;
4. To provide citizens with the opportunity to assess and submit comments on all
aspects of program performance; and
5. To conduct meetings``and respond to information requests in a manner consistent
with the County's Better Government Ordinance (95-6 attached).
The Citizen Participation Process
Contra Costa,County, in its citizen participation process,.has instituted a variety of
activities to accomplish the above-stated goals:
1. The program year begins with an annual public meeting. This meeting is
designed to encourage very low-and low-income persons,members of minority
groups,members of rion-English speaking groups,and other residents to express
their views and ideas of what they perceive as community development and
housing needs in Contra Costa County.The widely-publicized public meeting is-
held to advise residents and nonprofit organizations of program requirements
and processes to be followed in developing and approving applications.
Information about the amount of program funds to be available for housing and
community development activities and for planning and administrative activities
is provided. In addition, the range of activities that may be undertaken with
these funds and the kinds of projects previously funded are. explained.
Participants are invited to discuss community needs in the areas of affordable
housing, economic development, infrastructure/public facilities, and public
services. The discussion is structured to identify unmet needs of very low-and
low-income households that can be addressed through the programs, and to
identify appropriate projects and programs to meet those needs.The application,
evaluation and approval process are also explained as well as the process
timeline to facilitate citizen participation.
2. Citizens,public agencies,and other interested parties have information available
to them that includes the specific amount of assistance the jurisdiction expects to
receive and the range of eligible activities that may be undertaken. This
information is published in the non-legal section of one or more newspapers of
general circulation at least thirty (30) days prior to the date applications for
funding are due.
3. To facilitate the involvement of low-and moderate-income persons,non-English
speaking persons, and residents in areas most likely to be affected by the
programs, staff provides technical assistance in developing project proposals.
Information and technical assistance is also provided to community
organizations so they may adequately develop project proposals and participate
in planning and assessing the programs.
4. Additional public meetings maybe held at various stages of the funding process.
Meetings are scheduled at times and locations that permit broad participation by
low-and moderate-income persons.When needed or upon request,translators
are made available for non-English speaking attendees and the hearing-

the date, time, place, and topics to be considered at the meeting.
5. The County has a formal proposal and evaluation process to guide the
evaluation, prioritization, and selection of project proposals for funding. This
process is used by staff to evaluate each proposal according to the following
criteria: (1)eligibility, (2)ability to meet one of the national objectives, (3) target
population and demonstrated need, (4) financial analysis, (5) experience and
capacity, (6) project readiness and timeliness, (7) past performance, and (8)

CDBG focuses on housing and infrastructure,
/
strengthening local economies and providing
supportive services:
A:a community has both physical and social di-
sions.It is the neighborhood where peo-
ple live as well as the,relationships they share.
A healthy community offers diverse groups de-
cent housing,a pleasant living environment,and
reason to take pride in their neighborhood. In -
�'` some areas of the County,stagnant economies,
neglected housing and infrastructure,or the lack
of needed services can tip the delicate balance of
a community toward blight and disinvestment.
;o County assistance through CDBG and other pro- _ -
9 grams can arrest this cycle and maintain a stable
_ community.
u „t i he CDBG program,sponsored by the De-
x Vt 1 Tpartment of Housing and Urban Develop-
.. F
I ment,is a primary federal source of funds for the
ti l County's community development and housing
programs.CDBG was established by Congress
A t in 1974 through the Housing-and Community
Development Act. The County undertakes the
CDBG program in partnership with the fourteen i® _
smaller`cities (population less than.50,000) in
the county.With CDBG, Contra Costa County
is able to finance projects for housing,economic
development,infrastructure,and public services.
To obtain funding,local projects must demon-
strate that they benefit low-income families
earning less than 80 percent of the area's median
+_ income.Funded projects address specific com-
munity needs,provide significant opportunities, .. ,,
{ and most importantly,change lives.

we have achieved together over the past thirty
years.This edition of REACHoutl shares with
