RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Warren Ritter to the County 3 seat on the Affordable Housing Finance Committee to a term that will expire on June 30, 2022.

BACKGROUND:

The Affordable Housing Finance Committee advises the Board of Supervisors on the annual allocation of approximately $3 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.

The Committee consists of nine members, including:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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 are interviewed by members of the AHFC and reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) then referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. AHFC terms are for three years.
