ITEM EXPLANATION
On August 29, 1994, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
to provide funding for Section 8 Certificates in support of HUD's
Family Unification Program. Those Certificates will provide
rental assistance for families who meet the regular Section 8
eligibility criteria and for whom the lack of adequate housing is
a primary factor in the separation or imminent separation of
children from their families. Funding will be provided on a
competitive basis, based on demonstrated need for such assistance.
At present, the City's Housing Authority subsidizes rents for 503
low-income families under the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. Additional Certificates will assist the City in achieving the
goals of the Housing Element and the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) regarding affordable housing in the City of Carlsbad.
FISCAL IMPACT
None with this action. However, should this application be
funded, the Housing Authority could receive $406,000 annually over a five year period for additional Section 8 Rental Assistance plus supportive services funds to be used in conjunction with these units.
