This Agreement also provides for a second year of funding in the <br /> amount of $100,000 for capacity-building purposes, including complaint processing, education <br /> and outreach, training and data collection. Upon successful completion of a third year under an <br /> Interim Agreement, Orange County will receive substantial equivalency certification. At that <br /> time, the County will receive partial reimbursement for each closed housing discrimination case, <br /> as long as-the County continues to meet substantial equivalency performance standards. That <br /> amount is currently $1,700 per closed case. The HRC closed six housing discrimination <br /> complaints during the previous federal fiscal year, all of which were successfully conciliated. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Cooperative <br /> Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
