Rehabilitation Program within their target area for the purposes of neighborhood
revitalization.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve
BACKGROUND
Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) provides an array of products in the
neighborhoods that they serve. NHS currently serves the Bessemer
neighborhood. In 2006, the two entities met to discuss partnership opportunities.
It was determined that the best vehicle for partnership would be the City's
existing Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation Program.
The attached Agreement provides for NHS to act as a subrecipient of HOME
funds to provide qualifying rehabilitation loans to eligible households in
Bessemer. NHS will follow the City's existing Program. As a subrecipient NHS
will be able to access $500,000 in HOME funds and will receive $50,000 in
administrative funds for 2007. This is a year -to -year program dependent on
performance and availability of funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the 251 Fund and has been appropriated for these
purposes.
