Project Description Narrative
In June, 1995, the mobile home community of Southgate Mobile Home Park was hit by a
severe thunderstorm, resulting in flooding damage to the community. Southgate consists of
33 residential unit and is located approximately one mile North of Gilcrest, Colorado.
Most of the mobile homes are older pre -1975 models. Since many insurance companies
restrict insurance coverage to units newer than 1975, very few of the units were insured.
Based on an inspection of the community, by county and housing authority staff, four units
were either condemned as being unfit for habitation. Those residents are currently homeless
and living with relatives. Six additional units are in need of rehabilitation assistance.
Unfortunately, the costs of rehabilitation necessary to bring the units up to codes may exceed
the value of the units. If it is necessary to bring the units up to code, it is our recommendation
that replacement housing alternatives be pursued.
Two community meetings were conducted in June and July to explain possible options to the
residents of Southgate. Based on the response from the homeowners attending the meetings,
we were able to determine the need.
After an analysis of the housing issues and the potential for flooding in Southgate, the Board
of Commissioners of Weld County has made a formal decision that no funds be provided to
the residents to replace any dwelling unit in Southgate.
Since the flood, we have discussed various options for replacement housing. Through our
discussions with the residents of the community, we have determined that all situations are
different and any approach which is developed must be flexible enough to deal with the
individual needs of the families, as well as the market conditiions which exist in the County.
As an example, simply providing mobile homes to the residents may seem to be an easy
solution. Unfortunatately, there are no mobile home parks, within the area, which has a
vacancy. Individual private lots are expensive ranging from $12,000 to $20,000. Another
possible option is to provide home -ownership down -payment assistance to those residents.
No single solution will work for all homeowners needing replacement housing assistance.
Our proposal is requesting $140,000 for the replacement housing for four families and
$30,000 for the emergency rehabilitation of six owner occupied homes in Southagate.
Emergency rehabilitation activities will enable us to address health and safety issues only, in
the units identified.
All funds will be provided as a 100% loan to families who qualify. The interest rate and loan
term will be based on the income level and the repayment ability of the family.

learn more about what the needs of the community were and to explain servcie options
through the County.

Describe project need.
The mobile home Southgate community was flooded on June, 1995. The damage resulting
from the flood caused relocation of all resident of the area. Although most residents have
been able to return to their homes, four residents were permanently displaced, due to extent
of the damage, and are living in temporary housing arrangements. Other units are now
occupied, however, six units are in need of emergency housing rehabilitation assistance.
Ninety percent of the property owners requesting assistance have annual incomes of less
than 80 per cent of median income, based on survey information of the community.
The project need is based on applications which have been submitted by the residents of the
Southgate community.
How was need determined?
The need for the replacement housing and housing rehabilitation was determinedby an on -site
inspection of the properties by Weld County Building Inspections Department and the Weld
County Housing Authority
Applications were submitted for the program by all families requiring assistance.
Describe how project/program will be marketed to the identified beneficiaries.
Program services were marketed to the communityby direct door to door contact and by two
community meetings conducted in Gilcrest and targeted toward the Southgate community.
Since some of the families are monolinguel (spanish speaking only) special outreach efforts
were utilized to reach those families.

housing needs and priorities identified in the approved Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CHAS).
To the extent that the specific location of the replacement housing and other date in items 4 through 7 are not
available at the time of the general submission, Weld County will identify the general location of such housing

The following are examples of steps to minimize displacement. The first two are required. The others are optional. Only check those
which are appropriate for the project and local circumstances. Add other steps as necessary or appropriate.
X Provide substantial levels of relocation assistance, as required by 24 CFR 570.496a(b)(2). The substantial cost
of providing such assistance serves as a strong deterrent to unnecessary displacement.
X Replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income housing demolished or converted as a direct
result of HOME -assisted project activities, and make such replacement housing affordable for at least ten years.
The substantial cost of providing such replacement housing serves as a strong deterrent to unnecessary
displacement.
_ Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which may result in residential displacement.
Alternatives to be considered include other sites for the proposed facilities/project. Also to be considered are
the costs and benefits, both financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative.
X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees find alternative housing in the community.
Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for households facing displacement.
X Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation, working with
empty buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before
rehab on occupied units or buildings is begun.
_ Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration,
so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction.
_ Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue
financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi -family buildings.
_ Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with neighborhood organizations to continuously review
neighborhood development trends, identify displacement problems, and identify individuals facing displacement
who need assistance.
_ Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs.
Adopt policies to identify and mitigate displacement resulting from intensive public investment in
neighborhoods.
Adopt policies which provide reasonable protections for tenants faced with conversion to a condominium or
cooperative.
_ Adopt tax assessment policies, such as deferred tax payment plans, to reduce impact of increasing property
tax assessments on low/.moderate income owner -occupant or tenants in revitalizing areas.
