Weld County has utilized a censustract approach,targeting homes in Census Tracts CT 10, 17, 18, 19.01, 19.02, 20, 21, 22.01, 22.02 and 25,02. In addition, out targeted area inludes municipalities of Dacono, Eaton, Evans, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Gilcrest, Hudson, Johnstown, La Salle, Milliken, Platteville and Windsor. (See Project Location Map ---Attachment A) Only applicants having income of less than the moderate guidelines, as established by HUD, will be eligible for the program. CDBG/HOME funds will be leveraged with Housing Authority Loan Funds, and Larimer County's Weatherization Program funds to maximize usage. Rehabilitation activities will address code violations and health and safety hazards prevalent in targeted units. All units rehabbed will meet the Minimum Property Standards of the Weld County Housing Authority. Through the single family owner ocuupied program, variable low interest loans will be provided to eligible homeowners. The amount of the loan will be base on the total cost of the completed project. Weld County is requesting 5190,000 for the single family owner occupied housing rehabilitation program. This figure is based on a total project cost average of approximately 515,000 per unit. The Weld County Housing Authority is also committing 835,000 in revolving loan funds as a match. Based on 1990 census information, over 420 units in Weld County were identified as substandard units. We currently have nine applications for next year's housing rehabilitation which are ready for approval. Although the conversion of our housing rehabilitation program, from a loan program with a provision for foregiveness for very low income applicants to a non-forgivable loan program, has contributed to fewer very low income applicants,the overall interest in the program during recent months has increased. We have continued to maintain a provision in our program for the deferral of loans for the elderly disabled and the handicapped under certain circumstances. Weld County will continue to market the single family owner occupied housing rehabilitation program and the rental rehabilitions programs through the local media and through local outreach efforts including: 1. door to door outreach; 2. public presentations to local organizations; and 3. referrals from the target communitites, the Weld County Health Department and Weld County Building Inspections Department Weld County has continued to accept applications and build upon our waiting list in order to meet the housing needs of it's citizens, as well as to develop a planning strategy for the program. Weld County has entered into an agreement which contracts housing rehabilitationtion functions to the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority. This agreement has been attached.

Rehabilitation of Single Family Owner Occupied Housing 2. Replacement Housing for units which have been identified as beyond rehabilitation. The program anticipates the execution of the Inter-Governmental Agreement with Greeley Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) which contracts the housing rehabilitation administrative functions, to GURA. Single Family Owner Occupied Program For 1996, we are recommending a program encompassing the rehabilitation of 15 units at an average cost of$15,000 per unit.. Total HOME program funds requested would be $190,000. $35,000 will be provided through our program revenue generated from past loans. Combined cost of the 1996 Rehabilitation Program is being budgeted at $225,000. Replacement Housing Two units have been identified in Milliken and Johnstown which have been determined to be beyond rehabilitation due to the extent of rehabilitation. The criteria used to determine feasibility for rehabilitation is that the costs of rehabilitation is greater than fifty per cent of the value of the 961257 home. It is anticipated that manufactured housing will be placed at the current location of the unit. Total cost of the replacement housing units is budgeted at $100,000 with $80,000 requested from the State Division of Housing and $20,000 provided from program revenue. Part of the cost will include temporary relocation of the occupants. HOME Budget for 1996 HOME Program Program Revenue Total Single Family O.O.
