Statement of Activities: a. Types of, and Conditions for Financial Assistance: The Weld County Housing Authority (WCHA) , as administrator of the FmHA Housing Preservation Grant Program (HPG) for the County of Weld, proposes to moderately rehabilitate 10 owner-occupied dwelling units of very low income persons during the program year ending April 30, 1993. Rehabilitation activities will address Weld County's Uniform Building Code (UBC) violations, health and safety code violations, handicapped accessibility and over-crowding. This program will leverage HPG funds with the WCHA's existing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation Program, and the Weld County Revolving Fund program. HPG funds will not duplicate funds provided through the Community Development Block Grant program. Funds will be used to restore substandard dwellings to a condition meeting Weld County's Uniform Building Code (UBC) , the WCHA's Section 8 and Minimum Property Rehabilitation Standards, and Thermal Performance Construction Standards. Each applicant for the Housing Preservation Program must meet the income and other eligibility criteria as outlined in the management plan for the program. See Attachment A. All homeowners assisted by HPG funds must prove that they have occupied the unit at least twelve months prior to the time of the assistance and must, during the next five years, continue to occupy the unit. Ownership must by verified through the Weld County Assessor's Office or by documentation provided by the applicant which clearly verifies ownership of the property. HPG funds will be used to leverage existing Community Development Block Grant funds previously awarded the County. Since the State requires that CDBG assistance must be provided as a 100% loan, HPG funds will make it possible for very-low income families to participate in the Housing Preservation Program by reducing the total amount subject to repayment. Under our Housing Rehabilitation Program, approved applicant will be eligible for a maximum of $15,000 in financial assistance. No more than fifty percent of the total project costs will be allocated to FmHA HPG. Applicants with incomes below 50% of the area median income may be eligible for a combinations of 95% grants and 5% loans. Loans will be amortized at #7, interest over a period of not less than two years. See Attachment B. A promissory note and deed of trust will be required to be signed by the approved family. A lien will be placed on the property for the term of the deed of trust, but not for a period less than five years. b. Selection Process and Determination of Housing Needs: The WCHA will solicit applications through broad media publicity, local community outreach, contact with local leaders , public notices and hearings, and door-to-door contacts with citizens of the program target area. Applicants will be evaluated based on the WCHA's existing applicant ranking system. Points will be awarded to each applicant according to their personal and household characteristics, such as income, housing conditions, age, disability or handicap, and overcrowded conditions. Applicants showing the greatest need will be assisted first. Each dwelling will be inspected by the WCHA's rehabilitation specialist and the Weld County Building Inspection Department. Inspections will assess the number and degree of code violations and health and safety hazards as they relate to the various standards mentioned above. As part of the final application and evaluation procedure, each dwelling will be evaluated based on 920224 its geographical proximity to a 100-year floodplain. Any dwelling located within a 100-year floodplain will not be eligible for rehabilitation assistance. Also, any dwelling proposed for rehabilitation which is 50 years in age or older will be evaluated by the WCHA and submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office for their review. If the State Historic Preservation Office determines that mitigation concerning the rehabilitation of the structure will be necessary, the WCHA will comply fully with their instructions. Based on the inspection of each unit scheduled for rehabilitation, a work description itemizing the size, type and quality of all necessary repairs will be put out for bid to qualified general contractors. All bidding procedures will be supervised by WCHA, and low bids will be recommended to each applicant for selection. Once a contract and proceed order are signed between owner and contractor, the WCHA, in conjunction with the County Building Inspection Department, will conduct periodic on-site inspections prior to any payment requests by the contractor. When 80% of the contract work has been satisfactorily completed and inspected, and all lien waivers from general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers have been received, a payment for 50% of the original contract amount will be issued. When 100% of the contract work has been completed and inspected, a payment for an additional 30% of the contract amount will be issued not later than thirty days from the date of the final inspection. Any change order payments will be issued as a fourth payment. A Certificate of Project Completion must be signed by the homeowner before the final payment will be issued. This will assure homeowner satisfaction with the work performed. c. Development Standards for Housing Preservation Work: The WCHA will use the Farmers Home Administration's adopted Minimum Property Rehabilitation Standards and Thermal Performance Construction Standards as promulgated by the Farmers Home Administration. d. Time Schedule for Completion of HPG Program: The HPG program year will coincide with the WCHA's CDBG program year which is scheduled to begin March, 1992 and will end in March, 1993. See Appendix A. e. HPG Program Staff: Program administration will require one full-time equivalent staff person. f. Estimated Number and Type of HPG Beneficiaries: One hundred per cent of all families to be assisted through the HPG program shall be very low income (under 50% of median income) persons. In previous housing rehabilitation programs the WCHA has administered, an average of 43% of the beneficiaries were members of minority groups, while 57% were members of non- minority groups. The WCHA expects approximately the same number of minority and non-minority beneficiaries from the HPG program. g. Proposed Target Area: The area targeted for HPG funds will encompass Census Tracts 17 and 18, 19.01, 20 and 21. See attached map. All FmHA-exempted service areas will be excluded from use of these funds. ®224 h. Estimated HPG Program Budget: The annual budget for the HPG program was arrived at as follows: HOUSING PRESERVATION COSTS: - $ 76,230 ADMINISTRATION COSTS (itemized as follows) : Salaries: Rehabilitation Specialist: $1,820 per month @ 407. x 12 mo. _$ 8,736 Community Services Technician: $1,122 per month @ 40% x 12 mo. _$ 5,387 Employee Benefits: FICA =$ 1,005 Health, Life, Disability =$ 468 Retirement =$ 848 office supplies =$ 200 postage =$ 200 advertising/legal notices =$ 75 telephone =$ 300 travel =$ 551 TOTAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS =$ 17,770 TOTAL REHABILITATION COSTS =$ 76,230 TOTAL PROJECT COSTS =$94,000.00 The project utilizes less than 20% of total funds for administration. i. Description of Accounting System The WCHA proposes to draw down program funds per rehabilitation contract. Administration funds will be drawn down for actual and anticipated costs. Fiscal administration will be conducted by the WCHA and the Weld County Finance Department. All program funds will be deposited with the Weld County Treasurer in a separate account of the WCHA. The Weld County Finance Department utilizes a fund accounting approach which allows for separate accountability of funds. There are no outstanding or unresolved audit or investigative funding which will impair our ability to carry out our objectives. j . Method of Evaluation to Determine Program Effectiveness: The WCHA will evaluate rehabilitation activities weekly by on-site inspections as well as inspections by the Weld County Building Inspections Department. The Weld County Inspection Department is an entity of Weld County government, organizationally under the Weld County Planning Department, while the Housing Authority is organizationally under the Department of Social Services. The WCHA will contract all rehabilitation work to qualifies general contractors who supervise all construction activity. The WCHA' s Director and the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners will make spot inspections of various dwellings periodically. Quarterly, interim and final program reports will be prepared and submitted to the FmHA for review. 9P022A k.

Use of Program Income: 'A11 program income will be recycled into the WCHA's revolving fund to finance the housing rehabilitation program. m. Plan for Disposition of Security Instruments: Upon the dissolution of the WCHA, all security instruments held by the WCHA as a result of HPG activities will be delegated to the Weld County Commissioners and the County Attorney's Office for disposition.

Management Capability: The WCHA has previously administered housing rehabilitation programs since 1983. We are currently administering a CDBG housing rehab program in the target areas of CT 17, 18,19.01,20 and 21. Although our target area encompasses communities which are not in the FMHA designated areas, no FmHA funds will be used in a non FmHA area. Our housing rehabilitation program applies a deferred payment loan/straight loan strategy to addressing the rehabilitation needs of the low and moderate homeowners. As a result, the staff is organized as follows: 02flp9/. Jim Sheehan, Director, WCHA; Seventeen years experience in an administrative capacity concerning state and federally funded programs: Section 8 Existing; CDBG Housing Rehabilitation; DOH Grant Programs; Rental Rehabilitation; Low Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) ; etc. Reports to the Director of Social Services. Paul Pryor, Rehabilitation Specialist; Three yours experience in housing rehabilitation and thirty years in housing construction. Reports to the Director of Weld County Housing Authority. Per FmHA Instruction 1944-N, Section 1944.679(3), staff of the Housing Authority have considerably more than two years of successful experience in managing housing rehabilitation programs and housing assistance programs which benefit low and very low income families. III. Evidence of Applicant's Legal Existence: Weld County is political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The County Commissioners of Weld County serve as ex-officio members of the Weld County Housing Authority Board. Members of the Weld County Housing Authority Board: Gordon E. Lacy Constance Harbert William Webster George Kennedy C. W. Kirby IV. Financial Statement Not applicable per FmHA instruction 1944-N; 1944.&76(b) (5) . V. Narrative Statement of Area Housing Needs: The statistics that follow reflect the percentages of low and very low income households in the proposed HPG target area. Using an average for the entire target area, 24% of all households have annual incomes below $10,000; approximately 38% of households of Spanish origin have annual incomes below $10,000. These figures, coupled with the fact that a high percentage of the area's housing stock was built in the first half of the century, indicate that a moderate housing rehabilitation program would be a welcome benefit to those persons lacking the financial resources to repair their dwellings. Finally, the HPG Program will serve to continue the efforts of the Weld County Housing Authority in preserving existing housing stock from continued deterioration. a.

The WCHA does not anticipate the use of HPG resources for historic properties. Current policies of the Board require special review and approval; however, if an approved applicant's dwelling is determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, the WCHA will contact the State Historic Preservation Office and mitigate rehabilitation activities per the Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Executive Order 11593, 'Protection Enhancement for determining program effectiveness as outlined in paragraph (b) (1) (x) , program reports will be submitted to the FmHA as they relate to the HPG Time Schedule program reports will include statistics such as: the number and type of beneficiaries (i.e. : elderly, handicapped, female head of household) ; number of minority and/or women-headed business enterprises awarded contracts; etc. VI. Listing of the WCHA's Current Activities: Weld County and the WGHA are currently administering a Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Program in the proposed HPG target area, and in nearby communities exclusive of the HPG target area. The funds granted are sufficient to assure the continued operation of Weld County's current activities during the period of the HPG grant agreement. CDBG funds will also serve as the match for the HPG Program. 920224 • I VII. Description of Process for Identified Historic Properties: 1) The WGHA will file Historic Building Inventory Record Forms with the State Historic Preservation Office for any dwelling fifty years of age or older. No rehabilitation activities will be undertaken until a response detailing the dwelling's historical significance is received from the SHPO. 2) If the dwelling is determined to possess significant historical and cultural value, the WGHA will coordinate rehabilitation with the SHPO. All descriptions of work and specifications concerning the historical dwelling will be submitted for the SHPO's review. The WCHA will comply fully with the intent of the Historic Preservation Act and Executive Order 11593; Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment. VIII. Consultation with Local Government Officials: See attached letters from incorporated communities in the proposed target area.
