Referral History:
The Affordable Housing Finance Committee (AHFC) advises the Board of Supervisors on the annual allocation of HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Measure X Housing, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds for affordable housing development in Contra Costa County. It typically convenes once annually in the spring to review staff's recommendations for project funding of applications received through a competitive public request for proposals process.

The AHFC consists of seven seats, including:

? Three city representative seats (one from each sub-region of the County, currently residing in an incorporated city); and
? Three County representative seats (one from each sub-region of the County, currently residing in an unincorporated area of the County); and
? One Community/At-Large representative seat (currently residing in the County, either incorporated or unincorporated).

Nominations for AHFC representatives are solicited by the Department of Conservation and Development, reviewed by the Internal Operations Committee (IOC), and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval. AHFC terms are for three years. Per the bylaws adopted in 2021, all members are required to have professional experience in the field of affordable housing finance, design, development, or property management. Members may be retired or active affordable housing professionals.

Interviews were scheduled to be conducted at the March IOC meeting but none of the March applicants appeared to be interviewed nor did they respond to follow-up contacts by staff.
