Action Plan – Recommendation (Continue existing City Programs and Activities)

• Maintain limit for housing rehabilitation at $80,000• Consistent with existing housing assistance program

• Estimates and assessment from current program indicates need for greater flexibility to address needs

• Advantage of $80,000 limit:• Able to provide assistance to homes with greatest need (greater

impact on eliminating neighborhood blight)

• “New” construction – raise property values, better energy efficiency, higher code standards

• Change number of potential households to be assisted from 4 to 2, but include rules in local housing assistance plan (LHAP) rather than Consolidated Action Plan.
