Re: Jessie Shultz
George Shultz
Dear Mrs McGee:
This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding assistance from Weld County. You requested
assistance in providing a water tap and installation of safe water for the home of your mother
Jessie Shultz and your brother George Shultz, located at 210 First Avenue, Greeley, Colorado.
Weld County Housing Authority has a program called the Emergency Repair Assistance
Program(ERA) that can provide assistance as you requested. This is a loan program with an
interest rate that varies between -0- percent and 5 percent. Based on the household income of
your mother and brother, the interest rate would be 2 percent, should you decide to accept this
assistance. Under certain circumstances we have the flexibility to defer a loan
It is our understanding that you would prefer a grant. George Shultz was able to attend a Work
Session of the Weld County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners on Monday, October
19, 1998, at which he provided information to the Board concerning your preference for a grant.
We certainly appreciate the information provided by Mr. Shultz to the Board of Commissioners.
It is the decision of the Board of Commissioners to offer a two percent interest rate loan that will
be deferred until the death of the owner or sale of the property. During this period of deferment,
payments will not be due unless the borrower wishes to make a payment. However, a Deed of
Trust for the total amount of project cost incurred, will be continue to be a lien against the
property until disposition of the property as described above.

We are pleased to provide this assistance necessary to enable your mother and brother to have
safe drinking water for their home. This will Certainly increase or preserve the value of the
property.
Please notify me regarding your decision to proceed with our Emergency Repair Assistance
Program as a deferred payment loan.
If you have further questions, please call me at (970) 353-1551 ext 6540.
Sincerely,
Jim Sheehan
Director

The board received a letter September 29, 1998, from Corrine Schultz
McGee requesting assistance from the housing authority for her
mother and brother, Jessie and George Shultz, 210 1" Avenue,
Greeley. Water at their residence is not drinkable and they do not

however, the board offered Mr. Shultz a deferred loan. The loan
would not require repayment until the property was sold or the owner
died. Staff will write a letter to Corrine Schultz McGee and
explain the program. They will also continue working with George
Schultz to make sure he understands the deferred loan.
