Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency adopt the resolution approving a contractual services agreement with Bay Area Homebuyer Agency (BAHBA) for $49,900 to continue administering the FTHB and IHBMR Programs for FY 2011 -12. BACKGROUND Due to increased demand and inquiries in recent years regarding the City's FTHB and IHBMR Programs, and limited City /Agency staffing capacity, the Agency began outsourcing the administration of the two homebuyer programs to BAHBA in FY 2007 -08. Outsourcing to BAHBA has helped to better integrate, administratively streamline, and market the comprehensive homebuyer services under both programs.
