HomeMy WebLinkAboutIR 7741 INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7741 To the Mayor and Members of the City Council�o4soar�pJuly 20, 1993 0 Subject: HOUSING PROGRAM DESIGNS AND MODIFICATIONS Hers M&C G-10225 is on your agenda for action. In this M&C, the Department of Housing and Human Services is recommending changes and modifications to most of the existing housing programs. Over the last 18 months, the Department has received a significant increase in funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) for new programs, HOME and HOPE 3. The program modifications do not significantly change the mix of assistance to low-income homeowners and owner-investors, rather, existing programs are redesigned so they are more compatible with the new HUD rules and regulations. The programs were redesigned by staff, with assistance from the Enterprise Foundation and HUD. Presentations were made to the Community Development Council and the City Council Housing Program Committee for their advice and input. It is imperative that Council approve the new program designs. The new program designs use a considerable amount of new HUD funds which have a deadline for expenditure. None of the new funds can be expended until Council approves and adopts the new program designs presented in M&C G-10225. In anticipation that the new programs will soon be authorized, staff has on hold: the Eastwood Model Block which in concept the Council has approved; numerous homeowners who need extensive rehabilitation to their residences; 25 government houses which are under contract but not closed which will be available to first time homebuyers;and 167 first time homebuyers whose applications have been taken but not approved. Program Changes and Funding Allocations Recapping,the new programs increase the level of assistance given to homeowners for repairs from $8,000 to$25,000 and $33,500, depending on income. There will still be an emergency repair program, but it will address only serious health and safety concerns. A new homeownership program is recommended with funds available for acquisition and rehabilitation of homes purchased by first time low and moderate income homeowners. The rental rehabilitation program is revamped to allow for greater assistance to property owners making their rental units available to the very low income, the elderly and to those with special disabilities. A summary of the program changes is attached for your review. The funding allocations for the new programs are summarized below. As a reminder, the funding levels do not reflect all funds available to housing, only what is allocated for the programs under consideration. The figures reflect an annual appropriation. (Attachment 1 includes all funds available and budgeted over two fiscal years,June 1, 1993- May 31, 1994 and June 1, 1994 - May 31, 1995). OFFICIAL RECORD CITY SEC,7jrARY FT.

The attached summary indicates whether the modifications were required or recommended by HUD, or done at the City's discretion. These modifications strengthen the intent of the housing programs which is neighborhood revitalization. The rehabilitation work will address exterior,as well as interior, repair and will involve substantial rehabilitation and noticeable improvement to the It has been suggested that City Council may wish to consider more narrowly targeting these programs in order to have a more visible impact. That decision does not need to be made at this time. In fact, any aspects of these programs which are included at the City's discretion, may be adjusted after implementation.
