BAHBA is a nonprofit with extensive experience in administering public first time homebuyer and inclusionary/belowrnarket rate ownership housing programs regionally. 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 IH/BMR Programs for FY 2010-11. BACKGROUND Due to increased demand and inquiries in recent years regarding the City's FTHB and IH/BMR 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.
