WELD COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY'S
HOUSING PRESERVATION GRANT APPLICATION
I. 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 eight (8) owner-occupied dwelling units of very low and low income
persons during the program year ending August 31, 1995.
Rehabilitation activities will address Weld County's Uniform Building Code (UBC)
violations, health and safety code violations, handicapped accessibility and
over-crowding. Structural changes may be provided to alleviate overcrowding.
This program will leverage HPG funds with the WCHA's existing HOME Housing
Rehabilitation Program, and the Weld County Revolving fund program. HPG funds
will not duplicate funds provided through the HOME 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 rehabilitation program must meet the income and
other eligibility criteria as outline in the management plan for the program (See
attachement A) . All homeowner 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 be
verfied through the Weld County Assessors Office or by documentation provided by
the applicant which clearly verifies ownership of the property.
HPG funds will be used to leverage existing HOME funds previously awarded the
County. HPG funds will make it possible to rehabilitate properties which may not
be feasible without leveraged funds due to the extensiveness of the
rehabilitation.
Under our housing rehabilitation program, no more than fifty percent of the total
project costs will be allocated to FmHA HPG. Loans will be amortized at 3%
interest over a term which will conform with the ability of the homeowner to
repay.
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, contracts 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
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
1
940322
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. Overcrowded units will be
addressed through the rehabilitation program through the addition of living
space/bedrooms when feasible. 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. A payment for the
remaining 20% 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 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 conincide with the WCHA's HOME program year which is
scheduled to begin September 1, 1994 and will end in August 31, 1995.
e. HPG Program Staff:
Program administration will require one full-time equivalent staff person.
f. Estimated Number and Type of HPG Beneficiaries:
Sixty five percent of the families assisted through the Housing Preservation
Grant program shall be very low income persons. The remanining families shall
have incomes below 80% of the median income limit. 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 15, 17 and 18,
19.01, 20 and 21, 23 and 25.01. All FmHA-exempted service areas will be
excluded from use of these funds.
h. Estimated HPG Program Budget:
2
944®;x;2
The annual budget for the HPG program was arrived at as follows:
ADMINISTRATION COSTS
Salaries
Rehabilitation Specialist 2096 per month @ 40% x 12 mos.= 10061
Community Services Technicianian 595 per month @ 20% x 12 mos.= 1428
Employee Benefits
FICA and Medicare 919
Health, Life and Disability 742
Retirement 680
Office Supplies 120
Postage 150
Advertising/legal notices 100
Telephone 200
Travel 200 mi. /month for 12 mons. 600
Subtotal 3511
TOTAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS 15,000
TOTAL REHABILITATION COSTS =$ 75,000
TOTAL PROJECT COSTS =$90,000.00
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 abiliuty 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 qualified 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.

b. 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
4
940322
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 and management team are already
organized and in operation. The staff is organized as follows:
Jim Sheehan, Director, WCHA; Nineteen 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; Five years 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 County Housing Authority is a quasi-political entities under Title
Five section 29-4-501 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
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:
W.H. Webster, Chairman
Dale Hall, Pro Tem
Constance Harbert
Barbara Kirkmeyer
George Baxter
C. W. Kirby
IV. Financial Statement:
Not applicable per FmHA instruction 1944-N; 1944.676(b)(5) .
V. Narrative Statement of Area Housing Needs:
The statistics that follow reflect the percentages of low and very
low income housholds 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.

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
7
94( 2 2
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 of the Cultural
Environment." In addition to the methods of evaluation 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
included in the Statement of Activities. Also, interim and final
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 WCHA are currently administering a HOME 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. HOME funds, will also serve as the match for the HPG
Program.
VII. Description of Process for
Identified Historic
Properties:
1) The WCHA 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 WCHA 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. A copy of the WCHA's Statement of Activities concerning
the HPG Program was provided to the Colorado Division of Local Government
their review.
IX. Public Comment Period / Statement of Activities:
Public Notice of the availability of the WCHA's Statement of
Activities was published March 20, 1994 in the Greeley Tribune (please
see Affidavit of Publication) . The required fifteen-day comment period
began the day of publication, ending April 3, 1994. No questions, comments or
complaints were received as of April 4, 1994.
