EDA HOME REHABILITATION LOAN PRn -n M Councilmember Carmody discussed the use of the Home Rehabilitation Program (Deferred Loan Program). The program has been in existence since 1978 and has rehabilitated over 200 homes in that time. The maximum grant was for $10,000 until 1993, when it increased to $15,000 and the loan deferral was extended from five years to ten years. There was a priority placed on grants for exterior work, if possible, along with the life and safety issues which were afforded the highest priority. Councilmember Carmody explained the compilation of statistical information on the grants for the last ten years. While doing this, she realized that the Council may need to decide if the purpose of this Program was to maintain housing values and the housing stock, or to keep people in their homes and, therefore, be more of a social service program. • Councilmember Carmody questioned the viability of this Program and suggested that the $60,000 be rechanneled into the 53rd Avenue Project. Councilmember Peppe also stated that these monies could be better used in a different area. Mayor Kragness stated that this Program has been important to senior citizens and other low - income participants. Councilmember Lasman noted that more than one -third of the recently rehabilitated homes had some exterior improvement done. She further stated that though this may be slow progress, the improvements do incite the neighborhood to other improvements and funds should remain available for rehabilitation. Councilmember Peppe stated he P believes es the City needs to decide what i s the purpose of the program and determine if the money should be allocated to other programs. i Councilmember Peppe made a motion to table any Council action at this point and to direct staff to pursue other options and report back in six weeks. ks. The motion was seconded Councilmember Carmody and passed unanimously. by • 4/28/97 i ADJOURNMENT • A motion by Commission member Carmody and seconded by Commission member Peppe to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m. passed unanimously.
