PROJECT IMPACT
1. Why is the proposed project needed?
The Weld County Housing Authority conducted its 1987 CDBG Program in the communities of
Garden City, LaSalle, Evans and Gilcrest. While we feel that we have successfully addressed
the problem of much-needed housing rehabilitation assistance in Garden City, we were unable
to assist another seventy low- and moderate-income applicants living in Evans, LaSalle,
Gilcrest, and also in Platteville. It is evident that a return program is in demand in those
communities.
2. What are the specific goals of the proposed project?
Through its proposed 1989 CDBG Program, the WCHA hopes to assist twenty low- and moderate-income
families with moderate housing rehabilitation. An innovative element ofthis proposal is the
incorporation of the WCHA's new HomeOwners Maintenance Education (HOME) Program. This program
was recently developed and implemented to remedy a prevalent problem among some program
participants who have already been assisted, which is their general lack of knowledge in the
area of home maintenance and minor home repair. The WCHA feels that the result of alleviating
this gap of knowledge will be that the rehabilitation measures undertaken will have a longer
life• it is also hoped that the assisted homeowners a med w• h ractical knowledge and
sk c c take a mor 'n heir newt -rehabbed home
omp e e an a ac fei Ta e . ow were e s ima es o ow an mo era a income persons arrive a Attach
supporting documentation. (Whenever possible, census data should be used in "areawide benefit" projects to
document benefits to low/moderate income persons. Income surveys should only be used in rare circumstances
and only with prior approval from the Department. If you are considering conducting an income survey, please
contact Bill Timmermeyer at (303) 866-2771 for information on the rigorous, HUD-required methodology.)
1980 Census data was used to estimate population's income in our proposed
target area.
4. If the proposed project includes a local selection process of beneficiaries (e.g., housing rehabilitation), what local
procedures will be used to ensure that: a) benefits projected to be provided to low-and moderate-income persons
will actually be realized by such persons? b) beneficiaries will be selected through an open and equitable process?
and c) greatest needs are addressed? The proposed program and its application procedures
will be publicized through local media and door-to-door outreach; incomes will be verified
5. Do you anticipate any increased operational costs after and a priority/ranking system will be used to
u the proposed project is completed? Yes_ No determine greatest need of applicants.
If yes,why will operational costs increase and how will these increased costs be paid? If yes, what will be the effect
on low and moderate-income persons?
