the EAGR Program established by Chapter 4 Section 53533(5) (B) of Part 11 of Division 31,

subject to the terms and conditions of the statute and the EAGR Program Guidelines adopted

allocation of EAGR funds in the amount of $150,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Alameda
that:
The City of Alameda shall submit to HCD an application to participate in the EAGR
Program in response to the NOFA issued on October 6, 2003 which will request a
funding allocation for the following activities:
The City of Alameda proposes to use one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000)
to provide exterior accessibility grants to six or more rental property owners. Thirty -
five percent of the City of Alameda's housing was constructed prior to 1939 often
with high basements thereby complicating exterior accessibility modifications.
According to the 2000 Census, 18% of Alameda's population is disabled and 52%
renters. The City of Alameda will use the Exterior Accessibility Grants for Renter's
Program ("EAGR") funding to provide grants for ramps, lifts and other accessibility
modifications for buildings occupied by low- income tenants located in City of
Alameda.
2 If the application for funding is approved, the City of Alameda hereby agrees to use
the EAGR funds for eligible activity in the manner presented in the application as
approved by HCD and in accordance with program guidelines cited above. It also
may execute any and all other instruments necessary or required by HCD for
participation in the EAGR Program.
3. The City of Alameda authorizes City Manager to execute in the name of the City of
Alameda, the application, the Standard Agreement, and all other documents required
by HCD for participation in the EAGR Program, and any amendments thereto.
