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.

Include in the Project Budget and Sources and Uses the cash value of the in -kind contributions. Weld County provides inspection services through the Weld County Building Inspections Department at no cost to the Housing Authority. The amount of the in -kind contribution to the program will be $500.00. This amount is based on $30.00 for each inspection, plus milage at $ 20.00. What other funding alternatives have been explored? Describe the results. Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grant funds, which have been previiosly awarded to to Weld County, will be used to match emergency housing rehabilitation monies. Weld County Housing Authority HOME Program income will be used to match rehabilitation costs. Weld County Housing Authority will match funds up to $10,000 for the four replacement housing units which have been identified. Describe local commitment, and/or resistance, to the project. Also, describe efforts made to build community support for the project and the results of those efforts. The Weld County Board of Commissioners is concerned about the welfare of residents of this flood impacted area and is committed to assisting the residents through low interest loans. Two community meetings were held in the community (June 14th and July 10th) in order to learn more about what the needs of the community were and to explain servcie options through the County. Weld County provides inspection services throught the Weld County Building Inspections Department at no cost to the Housing Authority. The amount of the in -kind contribution to the program will be $500.00. This amount is based on $30.00 for each inspection, plus milage at $20.00. Application - 8 351790 PROJECT MARKET INFORMATION Applicants for the program have been received from interested residents of the Southgate community, prior to submission of this application. Should funding be awarded for the project, the families will be notified and we will proceed with either replacemetn housing or emergency rehabilitation based on the individual circumstances of the family's needs. Application - 9 951790 ` 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.

All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion Weld County will make public and submit to the State the following information in writing: Description of the proposed assisted activity; r of ling by ze of 2. The thatgeneral w will be location demol demolished converted oapproximate a use other than asllow/moderat dwelling units as a bedrooms) direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and, 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain in a low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. 7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of housing units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2 -bedroom unit with two 1 -bedroom units), or any proposed replacement of efficiency or single - room occupancy (SRO) units with units of a different size, is appropriate and consistent with the 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 on a map and complete the disclosure and submission requirements as soon as the specific data are available. Weld County ousing replacement of incomeHow/moderateot housing and ensuring y at telephone number 352-1551 5that it is provided within the required period. ing the The Weld County Housing Authority at telephone number 352-1551 ext. 6445 is responsible for providing relocation payment and other relocating assistance to any low/moderate income person displaced by the demolition of any housing or the conversion of low/moderate income housing to another use. The Weld County will provide relocation assistance, as described in 570.496a(b)(2), to each low/moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the Weld County will take the steps indicated below to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:' 951790 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. 08/28/95 Date Signature of Chief Elected Official Dale K.
