Road Map to Housing
East Contra Costa County
A guidebook of resources and information available to
agencies and people looking for housing
3" Edition
2013
Introduction & Mission Statement
Introduction
The Housing Sub-Committee of the East Contra Costa County Child Welfare Redesign produced this
publication.
This guide is a tool to assist you in finding resources in your search for affordable housing.
We encourage you to use resources in other areas of the county or neighboring counties to broaden
your choices.
Finding housing that is affordable has changed dramatically in the past decade. Availability of very
low income housing (Section 8 vouchers, public housing) is very competitive.
Agencies and housing advocates need to be creative and engage families to formulate a personal
housing plan.
Mission Statement
The Child Welfare Redesign Housing Sub-Committee Mission is to partner with the Community
Services Agencies within East Contra Costa County, to identify and formulate resources that support
affordable housing and to educate both families and service agencies through a Housing Road Map.
How to use this Road Map
Agencies
Use this Road Map to
-
inform your families about available housing opportunities.
educate your staff and clients about the meaning of available housing and the
various income levels and family size that determine housing availability.
- learn about other agencies and organizations that are working to provide
housing.
Families
Use this Road Map to:
- locate housing according to your individual needs.
- locate agencies that may assist in your housing search.

The CDBG program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is a primary source
of funds for the County's community development and housing programs. The County receives and directs these annual
funds to housing, economic development, infrastructure improvements, public facilities, and public service projects
designed to meet the needs of very low- and low-income persons.
Seven Tips to Get a Good Apartment
And Frequently Asked Questions
This Road Map is designed to assist persons looking for housing. However, no matter how much
information is provided, the acceptance of a renter is often influenced by factors other than income
and eligibility. Landlords invest their own funds in housing units and desire to have them well
maintained by courteous and caring people. The suggestions below should help as you look for your
next apartment.
Seven Tips
1. Be courteous when calling a prospective landlord. Dress well when showing
up for an interview with the landlord.
2. Be prepared. When meeting the prospective landlord, bring the following documents: completed
rental application; written references from other landlords, employers, friends and colleagues; and
a current copy of your credit report.
3. Know your rights to live in a habitable rental unit.
4. Make sure the security deposit refund procedures are spelled out in your lease or rental
agreement.
5. Learn whether your building and neighborhood are safe and what you can expect the landlord
to do about it if they are not.
6. Keep communication open with your landlord. If there's a problem -- for example, if the landlord
is slow to make repairs -- talk with the landlord to see if the issue can be resolved short of a nasty
legal battle.
7. Purchase renters' insurance to cover your valuables. Your landlord's insurance policy will not
cover your losses. Renters' insurance typically costs $350 a year for a $50,000 policy that
covers loss due to theft or damage caused by other people or natural disasters.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is important to prepare for your housing search by asking the landlord the following questions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do you have any available units that are subsidized?
What qualifications do I need to rent your apartment?
How much income do I need to earn?
Do you work with credit issues or evictions?
What is the application process and cost?
Is there a waiting list and how long is it?

CalWORKS Housing Program
Homeless Assistance
Families who are eligible for CalWORKs and who are homeless can apply for a special need payment to meet their
costs for temporary and permanent housing. The maximum Homeless Assistance payment is based on size of the
CalWORKs family. Homeless Assistance is available only once in a lifetime unless the family meets an exception, such
as homelessness due to a natural disaster. All exceptions must be verified by a third party agency.
Relocation Program
The Employment & Human Services Department (EHSD) operates a housing supportive services program that helps
CalWORKs participants with housing-related problems they have by providing stable living arrangements and enhancing
their work toward self-sufficiency.
The Relocation Program is a one-time only program to issue a maximum of $1,500 to eligible participants who have
obtained a job or received a documented offer of employment, and need to move closer to work, child care, or public
transportation. Families living in temporary situations that are employed and are in need of permanent housing are also
eligible. This subsidy may be used for moving expenses, such as moving truck rental, utility deposits, and security
deposit. Payment is made directly to the vendor or landlord.
Program Eligibility Criteria:
•
Must be actively receiving CalWORKs or eligible for Job Retention services within 12 months
following discontinuance from CalWORKs.
•
Must provide documented proof of employment or job offer.
•
must attend Financial Literacy Workshops:
,/ BREAK THE CYCLE WORKSHOP
,/ INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL BUDGET COUNSELING SESSION
EHSD provides financial literacy education workshops. The two described below are required for CalWORKs
participants applying for housing supportive services through the Relocation program.
"Break The Cycle Workshop" This is a structured workshop that provides consumer education/training on the basics of
money and credit management. It teaches you how to manage living expenses, including housing and transportation
costs.
The workshop focuses on basic understanding of how credit affects your life, from renting an apartment, getting a loan,
buying a car and establishing credit. It includes understanding loan types, interest rates and terms, rental and
homeownership responsibilities, credit cards, bankruptcy, and more. It addresses emotional aspects of money decisions
and goal setting. Participants leave with tools to create the beginning of a personal budget and spending plan.
"Individual Personal Budget Counseling" This session is offered if you have had bad credit or never have money left
at the end of the month. These participants have completed the ''Break The Cycle Workshop" and continue to have
difficulties budgeting. Workshop Coordinators work with the client to set up a personal budget, establish financial goals,
plan and track expenditures.
This session is a detailed planning session and is strictly personal and confidential. The participant demonstrates an
understanding of how to plan spending and to prevent budget crisis in the future.
For questions related to the Homeless Assistance Special Need payment or housing supportive services
through the Relocation Program, call your CalWORKs worker.

Assembly Bill 12
California Fostering Connections to Success Act
Recognizing that 18 was too young for most young adults to be without support, a bill was signed into law giving foster
youth the option to remain in foster care and receive services and supports until age 21. Foster youth under the
jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court in 2012 may remain in extended foster care and continue to receive benefits and services
as long as they meet the eligibility requirements and responsibilities.
Your Choice:
Remaining in foster care is a choice. Foster youth can decide to leave foster care when they turn 18. They can also
change their minds and return to foster care in order to receive extended services and support at any time, provided they
meet the requirements. Foster youth who choose to remain in foster care after 18 are considered non-minor dependents
and they need to do one or more of the following to qualify for service:
•
•
•
•
Complete high school or an equivalent program.
Be enrolled at least half-time in college, community college or a vocation program.
Be employed at least 80 hours a month.
Participating in a program or activity designed to promote employment or remove barriers to employment.
Your Options
There are a number of living arrangement options available to young adults who continue in foster care after age 18.
These options include:
•
•
•
•
•
The home of an approved relative, a non-related extended family member or a legal guardian.
A licensed foster family home or a certified Foster Family Agency (FFA) home.
A Transitional Housing Placement.
A Supervised independent Living Placement (SILP). This placement will need to be approved and supervised by
the county.
A Group Home Placement. Young adults can choose to live in their group homes until age 19 or until they
graduate from high school, which evercomes first.
We'll Be By Your Side:
Young adults who receive extended services and support to help ease the transition to adulthood also have
responsibilities. They include:
•
•
Creating a Transitional Independent Living Plan (TILP). With the help of a social worker or probation officer,
young adults will develop a plan to reach their educational and /or professional goals. The young adults and
social worker or probation officer will meet monthly to track the plan and discuss how to achieve those goals.
Going to Court. Young adults will be assigned an attorney and will need to attend court hearings every 6 months
to help monitor their progress.

In 2011, the California Legislature passed the Public Safety Realignment Act (AB 109) re-entry program, which
transferred responsibility for supervising specific low-level inmates and parolees from the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation to counties. This Act tasked local government at the county level with developing a new

Credit Reports
Californians can order free credit reports through a toll-free number or Website. Call (877) 322-8228, or go to
www.annualcreditreport.com to fill out the Annual Credit Report form, and get your credit report electronically, free
once per year. By checking your report on a regular basis, you can catch mistakes and fraud before they wreak havoc on
your personal finances. Do not underestimate the importance of this step. One of the most common ways that consumers
find out they are victims of identity theft is when they try to rent an apartment or make a major purchase. It is strongly
recommended that you obtain a credit report from each of the credit bureaus. The credit reports can be obtained on line
and printed to your computer. Costs are usually involved with these three bureaus:
