Subject: Participation in the Alameda County Urban County Housing and
Community Development (HCD) Block Grant Program for the 1991,
1992 and 1993 Program Years - Execution of Cooperation Agreements
Dear Mr. Ambrose:
Several Alameda County jurisdictions have participated in the Urban County HCD
Program over the past fifteen years. The Alameda County Urban County is again
initiating preparations for its three year Application for Housing and
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) in order to continue the Urban County HCD Program
over the 1991, 1992 and 1993 program years. The purpose of this letter is to
invite cities to participate in the Urban County HCD program during the
upcoming three year application period.
The Urban County HCD Program undertakes community renewal and lower income
housing assistance projects. In the program year ending June 30, 1990
activities included affordable housing development, minor home repair, housing
rehabilitation, construction of streets and other public improvements, fair
housing activities, removal of architectural barriers, and economic
development activities. The main criteria for project eligibility is that a
project benefit low to moderate income populations. Under current HUD
regulations, the County must take full responsibility for the execution of the
community development and housing assistance programs and for meeting the
requirements of other applicable laws. In addition, the County will work
cooperatively with participating cities in determining project proposals for
funding, although the County holds final responsibility for all project
selections.
