Subject: Consider Resolution Authorizing Application for
Workforce Housing Reward Grant and Authorizing City
Manager to Execute All Documents Required to
Participate in Program
BACKGROUND
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) is accepting applications for the Workforce Housing (WFH)
Reward Program.
DISCUSSION
Funded through Proposition 46, the Housing and Emergency Shelter
Trust Fund Act of 2002, the WFH Program rewards jurisdictions
that approve housing for low income households and are in
compliance with State housing element law. Approximately $70
million is available over a three year period. Grants are based
on the number of bedrooms in dwelling units that are affordable
to low and very low income households.
Funds may be used for a wide variety of capital assets that
benefit the community, for example: street improvements for
safety, such as lights, curbs and gutters; bike paths; parks;
school facilities; police and fire stations; upgrades to
existing infrastructure, such as water /sewer upgrades;
improvements for accessibility to disabled persons; and
libraries. Funds may be used for construction of affordable
housing, as well.
Staff estimates that the City could receive $82,900 in WFH
Reward funds, based on the number of bedrooms in the dwelling

units affordable to low and very low income households that
received building permits in 2004, the first year of eligibility
in this program, and a bonus provision for jurisdictions that
have achieved at least 96% of their targeted housing production
by 2004. By September of 2004, Moorpark had completed
construction on 97% of the total number of housing units
targeted, as reported to Council September 15, 2004, in the
Housing Element Progress Report. The total number of housing
units targeted, the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment

The attached resolution authorizes the City to apply for these
funds, based on land use approvals and building permits issued
in 2004, and authorizes the City Manager to execute a Standard
Agreement and any other required documents associated with this
grant program.
