| 1 | 10.1 | Conveyance of Four Parcels to the Successor Agency to the RDA | HA- Report | REPORT - CONVEYANCE OF FOUR PARCELS LOCATED AT 6th AND “A” STREETS TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA
BACKGROUND: In 2011, the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Rosa (the “RDA”) conveyed four parcels to the Housing Authority to increase the stock of affordable housing in Santa Rosa. The parcels were left over from development of the Santa Rosa Plaza and realignment of 6th Street (the “Remnant Parcels”), a major downtown redevelopment project. Three years after the official dissolution of redevelopment agencies in California, the State Controller found that the transfer of the Remnant Parcels was not allowable and ordered the Housing Authority to reverse the land transfer and turn over the assets to the RDA Successor Agency (the “Successor Agency”) for disposition in accordance with Redevelopment Dissolution Law.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by resolution, convey the four Remnant Parcels located at 6th and “A” Streets to the Successor Age | continue the item to | Pass |

| 1 | 10.3 | | HA- Agenda Item | REPORT - REQUEST TO ALLOCATE TEN (10) VETERANS AFFAIRS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING VOUCHERS FOR THE ALTAMIRA FAMILY APARTMENTS UNDER A FIFTEEN-YEAR PROJECT-BASED HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS CONTRACT
BACKGROUND: The Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program is a component of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Under this program, a Public Housing Authority can attach up to 20 percent of its budget authority under the Housing Choice Voucher program to specific housing units. Project-basing of VASH vouchers is allowed so long as the VA is in support of the project.
The low vacancy rates and high rent costs in Sonoma County have presented significant challenges to Veterans attempting to use VASH vouchers. The VASH program is targeted towards chronically homeless Veterans; the unique needs of the target population create additional barriers to successful long-term housing placements. The utilization rate for the program is currently 77 percent.
The Housing Authority approved the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Project-Based VASH Vouchers in 2015 with up to 100 vouchers availa | to waive reading of the text and adopt | Pass |
