Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Resolution No. 18-08-05 authorizing the submission of an Application for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 HOME Investment Partnership Program Funds and State Housing Fund (SHF) Funds.

Background Information

The Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) administers HOME Investment Partnership Program funding and SHF Funds for programs through units of local government and non-profit agencies that provide housing rehabilitation to certain property types owned and occupied as the primary residence of low-income homeowners.

Evaluation

Gila County Community Services Division, Housing Services, currently maintains a waiting list for income eligible housing rehabilitation applicants. If a contract is awarded and funding received, it will be utilized to rehabilitate approximately 4 units that have been identified and qualified for Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation (OOHR). It is expected that the units would have structural issues such as roof repair, plumbing or electrical repair, or structural modification to meet current codes.
Gila County developed Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines (OOHRGs) which are dated August 3, 2017. These guidelines were pre-approved by ADOH and were adopted by the Gila County Board of Supervisors on August 21, 2017, and there have been no revisions since that date.

Conclusion

If approval is granted and funding awarded, the Housing Services Program will be able to provide services in the form of single family home owner rehabilitation to four eligible citizens residing in Gila County who are currently on the waiting list and qualified as housing rehabilitation applicants. Resolution No. 18-08-05 authorizes the submission of an application for fiscal year 2018-2019 HOME Investment Partnership.

Recommendation

The Community Services Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve this request to apply for HOME Investment Partnership Program Funds and SHF to provide OOHR.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Resolution No. 18-08-05 authorizing the Gila County Community Services Division, Housing Services, to submit an application to the Arizona Department of Housing for HOME Investment Partnership Program funds and State Housing Fund (SHF) funds in the amount of $242,000 to be utilized for housing rehabilitation for fiscal year 2018-2019.
