CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: September 13, 1994
SUBJECT: Resolution 94-106, Authorizing the City's Submittal of an Application to
the California State Department of Housing and Community
Development for Disaster Relief Funding.
DEPARTMENT: Community Recovery Agency
BACKGROUND
Immediately after the January 1994 earthquake, the U.S. Congress enacted the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-211). This was done in response
to the devastation caused by the emergency and the continuing recovery needs which resulted
from the 1993 Midwest floods. In addition to appropriating Community Development Block
Grant funds to Southern California, the Act provided the California State Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) with approximately $7,885,950, to make
available for distribution to earthquake affected cities within Los Angeles and Ventura
counties under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME).
HCD will be distributing these funds to affected cities on a competitive basis. City staff has
prepared Santa Clarita's application requesting $1,500,000 of HOME disaster relief funds,
which is the maximum award. HOME disaster relief funds may be used only for
rehabilitation or reconstruction of owner -occupied earthquake damaged housing units.
Assistance may be provided to low income households only. If the City receives HOME
funds, a residential rehabilitation loan program will be undertaken, allowing the City to assist
low income home owners in repairing their residences. By providing a loan program, the City
will be able to recycle these funds in the community.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve Resolution 94-106, authorizing the City's submittal of an application to the
California State Department of Housing and Community Development for HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) disaster relief funding.
