1
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the terms and
conditions set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties hereto mutually agree
as follows:
1. FACTUAL BASIS FOR THE GRANT AWARD
(a) Founded in 1989, Habitat for Humanity of Pueblo, Inc. has built or renovated a
total of 39 homes for low - income families to achieve homeownership, build
wealth through equity and develop pride of ownership.
(b) Primarily due to the pandemic, Habitat's construction program has faltered and
now Habitat needs a capital investment to re-start the program. In the past the
Habitat ReStore generated funds to seed construction projects and provide
cash flow for construction salaries during the building process. The pandemic
forced the closure of the ReStore for over a month.It re-opened by appointment
only for several months, but with drastically reduced sales. Once the
construction program is again operational, it will be self-sustaining as it was
previously.
(c) Volunteers assist with staffing Subrecipient's store and learn skills that increase
the odds of being hired into the workforce. Habitat's community partners such
as SER Jobs for Progress National, Inc.; Catholic Charities' ReHire Colorado;
Pueblo Diversified Industries: Pueblo Workforce Center; and Pueblo County
Intervention Program place these unemployed or under-employed individuals
with the Subrecipient. As Habitat's construction program rebuilds, it can provide
more opportunities for these volunteers to learn marketable job skills.
(d) Steps to restart the construction program and strengthen the ReStore
operations have led to the same "brick wall" question: Where does the initial
money come from to resume building homes? Subrecipient is requesting funds
to restart its construction program.
(e) The owner-build construction program is the cornerstone of Habitat's mission.
The requested funding would enable Habitat to overcome what has proven to
be an extremely difficult obstacle to re-building its construction program.
Subrecipient needs seed capital to restart the program and carry it through the
risky initial phases until it can again become self-sustaining as it has been in
the past.
(f) Habitat owns suitable lots and has identified other potential building sites.
Habitat has a dedicated, experienced board. Subrecipient has the
infrastructure in place to attract and manage volunteers. The missing piece is
the funding. The ARPA grant funds would bring these currently unused or
underused resources together to create meaningful benefits to the employees
hired by Habitat, to the volunteers who learn new skills in its programs, to
Subrecipient's partners who seek placement for their volunteers and for the
families who will benefit far into the future, for generations
2
(g) Habitat is considering building on its current vacant lots and has identified
several possibilities for future build sites with assistance from the City of Pueblo
and NeighborWorks Southern Colorado with whom Subrecipient has
collaborated in the past. In addition, Subrecipient desires to partner again with
District 60's construction program to provide trade and construction experience
to local students.
(h) The Project will result in a minimum of one (1) owner-build home or duplex over
a period of three years. During that time, the Habitat will use the ARPA funds
to rebuild a self-sustaining construction program that will continue to pay
dividends to Pueblo residents for years to come, achieved by recycling
proceeds from the sale of the newly-built homes.
2. SERVICES; RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUBRECIPIENT
