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 Office of
Rural Development Housing Preservation Grant Program (HPG) for the County of
Weld, proposes to moderately rehabilitate FIVE(S) owner-occupied dwelling
units of very low income persons within nine months after the Housing
Preservation Grant contract is executed.
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 CDBG Housing
Rehabilitation Program, and the Weld County Revolving fund program. HPG funds
will not duplicate funds provided through the CDBG 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 outlined in the management plan for the program
(See attachement 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 full term of the Promissory Note 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 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. During 1997, the average
total project cost is approximately 23, 000. Funding requested from the Office
of Rural Development would represent thirty five per cent of the anticippated
cost of rehabilitation per project. Loans will be amortized at an interest
rate ranging from zero (-0-) per cent to five(5) per cent based on the income
of the household, 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.
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 (requiring more than two
1
q (a(a
persons to OCCUPY a bedroom) . Applicants showing the greatest need will be
assisted first. Each dwelling will be inspected by the under the auspices of
WCHA. 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
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 and if determined eligible
for Historic Preservation designation, 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. 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 B0% 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 501 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:
All units will be completed within nine months after execution of the Housing
Preservation Contract.
e. HPG Program Staff:
The director of the Weld County Housing Authority will be responsible for the
over-all administration of the Housing Preservation Grant program. We employ
a part time staff person who is responsible for eligibility determinations of
applicants. Work write ups are developed through a contract with Greeley
Urban Renewal Authority. All projects are monitored by the Housing Authority
director.
f. Estimated Number and Type of HPG Beneficiaries:
One Hundred percent of the families assisted through the Housing Preservation
Grant program shall be very low income persons. In previous housing
rehabilitation programs, an average of 43% of the beneficiaries were members
2
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. We are projecting that a total of sixteen
(16) very low income persons will be assisted through the Housing Preservation
Grants Program.
g. Proposed Target Area:
The area targeted for HPG funds will encompass Census Tracts 17 and 18,
19.01, 19.02, 20 and 21, 22.01, 22.02 and 25.01. Housing Preservation Grant
funds will only be used in rural areas of the county outside MSAs. All FmHA-
exempted service areas will be excluded from use of these funds.
h. Estimated HPG Program Budget:
The annual budget for the HPG program was arrived at as follows:
ADMINISTRATION COSTS
Salaries
Community Services Technician 1,500
Employee Benefits
FICA and Medicare 120
Office Supplies 100
Postage 50
Advertising/legal notices 30
Telephone 100
Travel 206 mi./month for 9 mons. 500
Subtotal 900
Contracted costs for Work Write-ups.
Greeley Urban Renewal @ $900.00 per unit. 4,500
TOTAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS 6,900
TOTAL REHABILITATION COSTS charged to HPG five units @ $8,000 per unit
=$40,000
TOTAL PROJECT COSTS = $46,900
The project utilizes no more than 15t 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
3
91641(4°(°
allows for separate accountability of funds.
There are no outstanding or unresolved audit or investigative funding
which will impair our abilility 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 will inspect each unit which is rehabbed to assure that work is
carrie dout in compliance with the work write-up and program standards.
Quarterly interim and final program reports will be prepared and submitted to
the Office of Rural Development

b. Management Capability:
The WCHA has previously administered housing rehabilitation programs since
1983. we are currently administering a housing rehab program in the target
areas of CT 17 and 18, 19.01, 19.02, 20 and 21, 22.01, 22.02 and 25.01.
Although our target area encompasses communities which are not in the Office
of Rural Development designated areas, no Office of Rural Development funds
will be used in a non Office of Rural Development 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; twenty-two 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) ; and replacement
housing, etc. Reports to the Director of Social Services.
Jeanetter Dalton-Office Technician II thirty seven years at Weld County
Department of Social Services. Five years with Weld County Housing Authority.
Ms. Dalton has responsibility for determining eligibility for assistance and
managing loan accounts. Reports to the Housing Authority director.
Weld County Housing Autority contracts the housing rehabilitation work write
up function to the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority. Greeley Urban Renewal
Authority has administered successfull housing rehabilitation programs for
twenty years within the City of Greeley.
Management responsibility of the Housing Preservation Program will continue
to rest with Weld County.
Per Office of Rural Development 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
5
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:
Constance Harbert, Chair
W.H. Webster, Pro Tem
George E Baxter,
Dale Hall,
Barbare Kirkmeyer
IV. Financial Statement:
Not applicable per Office of Rural Development 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
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 Office of Rural Development 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
8
IC/SOVW
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

COLORADO SUBJECT: Housing Preservation Grant Application
DATE: March 18, 1998
As discussed at the Housing Authority Work Session of March 16, 1998, Weld County
Housing Authority is requesting funds in the amount of$46,900, through the Housing
Preservation Grant Program (HPG), Office of Rural Development, for the rehabilitation of five
(5) owner occupied single family units in the rural areas of Weld County. The amount requested
of$40,000 is for rehabilitation program costs and of$6,900 for administration of the program.
Management policies for the HPG program are identical to our currently funded program, with
the exception that HPG funds may only be used in rural areas of Weld County and that the
family owns the property for at least one year prior to assistance.
The Housing Preservation Grant program requires matching funds. The matching funds for this
application consist of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided by the
State and Revolving Loan funds provided from the revenues of previous housing rehabilitation
loans that are being paid back to the Housing Authority.
If approved by the Office of Rural Development, the funds will supplement the cost of our
current housing rehabilitation program.
Staff is recommending approval of the 1998 Housing Preservation Grant Application.
If you have any questions, please telephone me at 352-1551 ext. 6200.
