Information

Referral History:

The Affordable Housing Finance Committee advises the Board of Supervisors on the annual allocation of approximately $1.5 million in HOME Investment Partnership Act and $1.8 million in Community Development Block Grant funds for affordable housing development in Contra Costa County. These funds are allocated to the County on an annual basis by formula through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Committee consists of nine members, including:

three city representatives (one each from East, Central and West County)
three county representatives; and
three community representatives.

The three city representatives are nominated by the cities in each subregion of the County and approved by the Board of Supervisors. Nominations for county and community representatives are solicited by the Department of Conservation and Development. All county and community representative appointments to the AHFC are reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. AHFC terms are for three years. A current AHFC roster is attached for your information (Attachment A).

Referral Update:

With the appointment of Mr. Bundy, there will be one vacancy for a County representative, and an expired term for the East County Cities representative. That member has expressed interest to continue serving on the committee. County staff will work with the East County Cities to forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RE-APPOINT Dan Bundy to the Community Representative 1 seat with an expiration date of June 30, 2020. Mr. Bundy has served on the committee since 2003. His experience with providing services and housing to individuals with special needs makes him an invaluable member of the committee.
