IN RE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Community Development Division has operated a loan and grant program for
housing rehabilitation since 1976 in order to maintain and improve our residential neighborhoods;
and
WHEREAS experience gained over the several years of operation has proven that the guidelines
for qualification for assistance under this program has resulted in a situation in which most work
is done through 100Z finan6a1 grants and grants in combination with loans; and
WHEREAS many persons who are !ow cr moderate income do not qualify for a loan from a
financial institution; and
WHEREAS assistance through a combination installment and deferred loan program would
increase eventual future funding; and
WHEREAS the installment and deferred loan repayment would create a revolving fund for
assistance to other persons; and
WHEREAS reducing the maximum allowable amount for a single home improvement project will
extend the work to additional famIlies; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Development Advisory Council, together with the
Oakland County Housing Council has developed new guidelines for improvement in those aspects of
the program and has recommended approval to the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the new Guidelines for Housing Rehabilitation Program
recommended by the Community Development Advisory Council be approved.
The Public Services Committee by James E. Lanni, Chairperson, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
