RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the substantial amendment to the County’s FY 2016/17 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Action Plan, to increase the CDBG project award to the Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond by $9,700 to a new project award total of $73,900 to complete the Infrastructure/Public Facilities (IPF) project located at 515 Silver Avenue in Richmond, as recommended by the Finance Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

CDBG funds are provided to the County on a formula allocation basis through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance #14.218. There is no fiscal impact to the County General Fund, as the allocation is from the federal CDBG program funds.

BACKGROUND:

On May 10, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the Contra Costa County Action Plan for FY 2016/17 CDBG funds. Originally, Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond (CHDC) was awarded $64,200 in CDBG funds under the Infrastructure/Public Facilities (IPF) category to improve the Neighborhood House Multicultural Senior and Family Center (Center) located at 515 Silver Avenue in North Richmond. The proposed improvements include replacing the roof, replacing the heating ventilation and air conditioning unit, and repairs/upgrades to the men’s and women’s bathrooms. The original estimate provided in CHDC’s application was too low and the project will require $9,700 in additional funds to complete the project. CHDC is requesting $9,700 in

additional CDBG funds to complete the full scope of the intended improvements to the Center. If additional funds are allocated, the total amount awarded for this project would be increased to $73,900.

The $9,700 in CDBG funds are available from CDBG program income (loan repayments) and may be awarded for this project.

Finance Committee Meeting: The Finance Committee met on October 13, 2016, and recommended to allocate an additional $9,700 in CDBG funds to CHDC in order to complete the improvements at the Center.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Substantial Amendment for the additional CDBG funds is not approved, the project would be delayed or possibly not completed, which would affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the Center's services and operations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Neighborhood House Multicultural Senior and Family Center furthers the Children's Report Card outcome of helping families be safe, stable, and nurturing.
