Excerpt:

The Housing Authority (HA) partnered with the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) and
Building Futures with Women and Children (BFWC) (collectively, the Providers) to
submit a proposal for a 90-unit homeless accommodation on 13 acres. In March 2009
the HA Board of Commissioners (BOC) and ARRA approved a Legally Binding
Agreement (LBA) between the LRA and the Providers for a 90-unit homeless
accommodation on nine acres. The LBA was submitted to the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for approval. HUD approved the LBA
March 2011; however, the Navy was unwilling to provide HUD with a "comfort letter
concurring with the terms of the LBA. Over the past 12 months, the parties have
revised the LBA to address the Navy s concerns and have negotiated the attached
Amended and Restated LBA (Exhibit 1) for BOC consideration and approval.
