RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Natacha (Paige) Simmons to the County Representative 1 seat on the Affordable Housing Finance Committee to a term expiring on June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Affordable Housing Finance Committee advises the Board of Supervisors on the annual allocation of approximately $1.5 million in HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME) and $1.8 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Committee is composed 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 (IOC) and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. AHFC terms are for three years. A current AHFC roster is attached.

There were five applicants for the vacant County Representative seat: two were interviewed and the AHFC recommended one of them and the IOC concurs with the recommendations, one did not come to the scheduled interview; one has withdrawn his application; and the fifth did not respond to the interview invitation.

With the appointment of Ms. Simmons, there will remain one vacancy for a Community representative. A recommendation for a re-appointment to the East County seat is going to the Board of Supervisors in February.
