Title II of the Act creates the Home Investment in Affordable Housing ("HOME") Program that provides funds to states and local governments for acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of affordable housing and tenant-based rental assistance. Additionally, the Act requires local governments to formulate a Comprehensive Affordability Strategy (CHAS) as part of the eligibility requirements for distribution of HOME funds to metropolitan cities, urban counties, states, and consortia of local governments. The Act allows local governments to form a consortium for the purpose of receiving and administering HOME funds and carrying out the purposes of the Act. In order for the City of Redlands to participate in a consortium, the Act requires that it be done through an urban county. This Cooperation Agreement establishes the terms and provisions, as required by the HOME Program and the CHAS, for cooperation between the County and the City of Redlands for the purposes of participation in the County's HOME Program. The County and the City would agree to enter into further agreements as necessary. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: Board approval of this Cooperation Agreement is required to allow Redlands to participate in the HOME Program. cc: ECO-Adore Wagree.
