CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
CSWD requests adoption of a resolution to accept the Parks Related Grant application through the California Department of Housing & Community Development to make facility improvements at the Migrant Center.
The application from the County of San Benito Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is requesting funding of up to $150,000 for the Housing Parks NOFA to rehabilitate the two parks at the San Benito County Migrant Center. The County of San Benito is eligible based on their prior approval of a new construction project named the Buena Vista Apartments as developed by CHISPA, Inc., that will provide housing opportunities to lower income families in addition to having an adopted Local Housing Element approved by HCD.
The San Benito Migrant Center is a facility that serves Migrant seasonal farm workers. Over the years, the Migrant Center has had enormous wear and especially the two on-site parks. These two parks certainly need to be rehabilitated for use and enjoyment by Migrant farm labor families during the migrant season of May through November.
