A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
MAKING CERTAIN REQUISITE FINDINGS THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ASSISTANCE AND REFERRAL PROGRAM IS OF BENEFIT TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
WHEREAS, the Poway Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") and ElderHelp of
San Diego ("ElderHelp") are desirous of entering into a contractual agreement (the
"Agreement") for the provision of the Affordable Housing Assistance and Referral
Program (the "Program") to assist Iow and moderate income residents within the
Paguay Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area") and the City of Poway (the
"City") in accessing affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the Agency is required by California Government Code Section
33334.2 to set-aside and expend an amount not less than 20% of the taxes which are
allocated to the Agency to increase, improve, and preserve the community's supply of
Iow and moderate income housing available at affordable housing cost, such amounts
being held in the Agency's Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund (the "Housing
Fund"); and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2 (e)(8) states that
the Agency may provide subsidies from the Housing Fund monies to, or for the benefit
of, very Iow, Iow and moderate income persons and families to the extent that those
households are unable to obtain affordable housing on the open market; and
WHEREAS, the Program will assist persons and families of Iow and moderate
incomes, as defined in Section 50093 of the California Health and Safety Code, to
obtain safe, decent, and sanitary housing at a cost which is affordable pursuant to the
definition found in California Health and Safety Code 50052.5; and
WHEREAS, the expenditure of Housing Fund monies to fund the Program will be
of benefit to the Project because the Program will operate both within and outside of the
Project Area; and
WHEREAS, through the adoption of Resolution 93-071, on May 25, 1993, the
City Council made general findings that the use of Housing Fund monies to increase,
improve and preserve the community's supply of Iow- and moderate-income housing
located outside the Redevelopment Project Area benefits the Redevelopment Project;
and
WHEREAS, the Program serves as an integral component of a balanced
affordable housing program for the Project Area and the community to increase,
improve, and preserve the supply of housing in Poway available to persons and families
with Iow and moderate incomes.
