Committee moves to forward Health Department request opposing HUD's 'permanent housing cap' notice
Summary
The committee agreed to forward the Alameda County Health Department’s recommendation to oppose a HUD notice that county staff say would limit resources for converting transitional housing to permanent supportive housing; the referral will go to the full Board for action.
The Alameda County Personnel Administration and Legislation Committee on Oct. 20 agreed to forward the Health Department’s request that the full Board consider opposing a recent U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development notice described in the briefing as imposing a permanent housing cap that would limit resources for shifting residents from transitional to permanent supportive housing.
Supervisor Tam introduced the Health Department’s recommendation and asked for concurrence from the committee. "If we have concurrence on their recommendation to oppose, we'll push it to the full board," Tam said. A committee member responded, "Yes, absolutely," and the chair confirmed the recommendation would be moved forward.
The committee took no final Board-level action at the meeting; rather, members agreed to advance the Health Department’s recommendation to the full Board for formal consideration. No public comments were recorded on this item during the committee meeting.
Next steps: the committee’s referral will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for a future meeting where the full Board may vote to adopt a formal county position.
