Summary of Request:
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability dated May 3, 2021 under the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA). The County of Mendocino will use funds allocated through the PLHA program to fund renovations, operating subsidies, and case management services at Live Oak Apartments. The total amount over a five year estimate of the PLHA formula allocations for Mendocino County equals to $2,099,753.
Funding from the 2019 and 2020 PLHA allocations will fund facility renovation costs, including unit renovations to install kitchenettes and second sinks, replace flooring, and add adjoining doors to four rooms to allow flexibility for larger families; interior and exterior ADA improvements, in both units and common areas; the decommissioning and filling of the on-site pool; the installation of a bike storage facility and outdoor gazebo; and the installation of rooftop photovoltaic solar panels and a shade structure with photovoltaic solar panels over the northern parking area.
Funding from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 PLHA allocations will be used to fund the 2.0 FTE on-site Case Managers and a 0.5 FTE Case Manager Supervisor, along with providing an operating subsidy for the facility. On-site Case Managers work with residents to support their efforts to achieve personal goals which help residents avoid a return to homelessness and prepare to secure more traditional housing options. The facility operating subsidy will help defray facility costs and bridge any operational funding shortfalls.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling
