Pavão in SD Friday to Discuss
New Regs |
Proposed California Tax Credit Allocation
Committee (TCAC) regulations for allocating funds
available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 are expected to be released next week.
Hearings on
the proposals have been posted for the week of March 16,
with the southern California session scheduled in Los
Angeles on Tuesday, March 17. The proposed first-round
TCAC application deadline is May 26 with awards August
5. The proposed deadline for the second round is
August 24. William Pavão, TCAC executive
director, will meet with SDHF members interested in
discussing how Pavao sees the new tax
credit programs working in California. TCAC
will receive $325,877,114 from the federal stimulus
legislation. By law TCAC must
distribute these funds competitively and according to
their qualified allocation plan (QAP) which must be
revised. Pavão is seeking input from
stakeholders about how these funds and a new tax
credit exchange program, also part of the stimulus law,
should be administered in California. He is
interested in specific suggestions about how the QAP
should be amended to incorporate the new federal
programs.
The meeting will be held Friday, March 13
from 1 p.m. to 3
p.m. at 4305 University
Avenue, San Diego, Suite #640 (signs will say
Bill Pavao meeting). Parking is available on site for a
small fee. Thanks to Community HousingWorks for
arranging the space. Please RSVP to doris@housingsandiego.org.

Shelter Grant Applications Due
March 15 |
The FEMA Food and Shelter application deadline is
March 15 but those who want to apply need to call the
local FEMA Board Chair TODAY at (619) 231-2828.
The Emergency
Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) was created in 1983
to supplement and expand the work of local social
service agencies, both nonprofit and governmental, in an
effort to help people with economic emergencies (not
disaster-related [i.e., fires of any kind, floods,
tornadoes, etc.]) Therefore, EFSP funds are not to be
used to provide emergency assistance for circumstances
that are the immediate result of a disaster situation.
The EFSP funding is open to all organizations helping
hungry and homeless people. EFSP funds must be used to
supplement feeding, sheltering (including transitional
sheltering) and rent/mortgage and utility assistance
efforts only.
