Dear Ms. McKay:
The Department of Housing and Community Development(Department) is pleased to announce c
the City of San Bernardino has been awarded a Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program award c
for the 2015 Designated Program Year(DPY). The goal of the HRP Program is to increase the =
overall supply of housing affordable to lower-income households by providing financial
incentives for the creation, expansion or renovation of community park and recreation �°
amenities. Funding for the HRP Program is available pursuant to the Housing and Emergency
Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006 (Proposition IC). The HRP Program reflects the Department's o
commitment to work in partnership with local governments to address California's critical z
housing and community development needs, recognizing and reinforcing the critical linkages
to
between housing, jobs, and the economy in creating vital, livable communities.
As you know, all local government applicants with eligible units for new, preserved, rehabilitated
and acquired rental or ownership housing affordable to lower-income households and which are
in compliance with State housing element law, are eligible to receive HRP Program grant funds
for use in local capital improvement park-related projects.
E
The application submitted in response to the Department's HRP Program DPY 2015 Notice of
Funding Availability(NOFA) indicated the City met these programmatic requirements and has o
implemented the objectives of the Program. This letter, therefore, constitutes a conditional =
commitment of grant funds in the amount of$398,200. a
L
R
Staff will be contacting you shortly to initiate the process of preparing the Standard Agreement a
for fund distribution. Please note, no funds may be expended, nor any costs incurred, until the o
standard agreement is fully executed. Congratulations on your successful application. For
further information, please contact Jennifer Seeger, HRP Program Manager, at
iennifer.seeger(c)hcd.ca.gov or(916) 263-7421.
