BACKGROUND: Orange County, through the Department of Human Rights and Relations, receives funds under HUD's Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) to process fair housing cases and to provide education, outreach and technical assistance on the fair housing law. On September 16, 2003, the BOCC approved a Cooperative Agreement with HUD in the amount of $50,000. In previous years, HUD has occasionally offered "Partnership Initiative" funds for specific activities that further fair housing. Two years ago, Orange County received $20,000 in Partnership Initiative funds to conduct fair housing audit testing. These funds were again offered by HUD this fiscal year. The County applied for $57,900 to partner with other agencies to coordinate an education and outreach campaign for the residents of Orange County. On September 23~d, the County was notified it was awarded $60,000 in funding through the Partnership Initiative. This would bring the total amount received by the County under the FHAP Program this fiscal year to $110,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This reflects funds that were not anticipated during the formation of the Human Rights and Relations Department budget this past spring. Should the Commissioners approve the receipt of these additional funds, the Department's budget will be adjusted in a corresponding budget amendment. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board ratify the revision of the Cooperative Agreement and the signature of the Chair on the agreement.
