The
City of Oakland Community and Economic Development
Agency
(CEDA) is announcing a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) for affordable rental and ownership housing
development.
Approximately $13 to 15 million is estimated to
be available from two sources: the City's Federal
HOME
grant funds and Oakland Redevelopment
Agency Affordable
Housing funds (of which approximately $4.5 million will
be set aside for projects located in the Central City
East Redevelopment Area).
Proposed
developments can be new construction or major rehabilitation,
and should be at least ten units in size. A complete program
description and details of the application process
are included in the NOFA package.
Applications
must be received at CEDA’s office no later than
4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, 2007.
The City and Agency reserve the right to suspend, amend,
or modify the provisions of the NOFA.
We
strongly encourage potential applicants to attend a meeting
on the City's employment
and contracting programs. The meeting will be
held on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, at 9:00
a.m., in City Hall Hearing
Room 4. Time
will also be available for general questions and answers
on the NOFA.
Should
you have any questions or need additional information
regarding this NOFA or the City’s housing development
program requirements, please contact the Housing Development
staff at (510) 238-3502.
