MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached XX )
In 1978 the City established the - current housing rehabilitation grant program. it was the intent and
0 Policy to put monies back into the City's housing stock. The program was intended to help maintain
the City's housing inventory (tax base) and help mitigate the spread of blight within neighborhoods.
The rehab grant program, funded with community development block grant (federal) funds, was limited
to income eligible recipients (i.e., low and moderate). It was decided that income limits would be set
at the maximum limits allowed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The maximum
limits were chosen to allow the City the greatest range of homes eligible for the grant, thus giving
the program greater impact on neighborhoods.
Since the inception of the program, we have completed 162 grants. With the exception of a change
in the maximum grant amount ($8,250 to $10,000), the grant program today remains the same as
before. At the January housing commission meeting, the rehab grant program was reviewed. The
commission has recommended some changes in the program.
Income limits were established in 1978 as Section 8 maximum limits and were as follows:
NO. IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME
1 $15,250
2 $17,400
3 $19,550
4 $21,750
5 $23,100
6 $24,450
7 $25,850
8 or more $27,200
i
Current Section 8 maximum income limits are as follows:
NO. IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME
1 $22,700
2 $25,900
• 3 $29,150
4 $32,400
5 $34,450
6 $36,450
7 $38,500
8 or more $40,500
The housing commission is recommending an adjustment in income levels midway between the old
limits and current maximum. Its recommendation is as follows:
NO. IN HOUSEHOLD INCOME
1 $18,975
2 $21,650
3 $24,350
4 $27,075
5 $28,775
6 $30,450
7 $32,175
8 or more $33,850
At the staff level, we are noticing a decreasing number of grants and an increasing number of
inquiries from households just outside of the income limits. I would recommend this adjustment to
income limits.
A second recommendation by the housing commission refers to second grants. It has been our policy
to do second grants only in cases where health safety related repairs were necessary. ' If our intent
• is to maintain the City's housing inventory, then it would follow that the EDA would want to
consider a second grant where warranted. The need has not changed nor has the intent of the
program. It was recommended that second grants be allowed within each funding cycle (August to
August) after a given period of time. In other words, the EDA would consider second grants in say
April after others have been given the opportunity to apply. I would also recommend this approach.
This action requires only a motion directing the EDA to accept second grants.
Also on the agenda is an item transferring $2,000 to Hennepin County for a grant. This would have
been a second grant, so I directed this individual to the Hennepin County program (MN Housing
Finance Agency). The bids are in and an additional $2,000 is needed to complete the work. The
MHFA maximum grant is $7,500; ours is $10,000. 1 have attached a copy of the original grant
application. This person is still eligible under our program. As you will note, we only insulated her
home. I would recommend the transfer of $2,000 of block grant funds to Hennepin County to
complete this grant.
