Telegraph Road Pontiac, Michigan 48053 Dear Marcia: Subject: Request for Financial Assistance to Complete Last Resort Housing Improvements (21408-10 Woodside) As one of the communities participating in the County Block Grant Program, the needs of the Township and its' citizens will be brought to your divisions attention whenever your assistance is needed. It is with this outlook that I am now requesting approval of an expenditure from your 1983 Contingency Fund for the purpose of completion of improvements on housing constructed in 1981 under Last Resort Housing Section 206 (a) of the Uniform Act. In preparation for conveyance of a life estate interest by the Township to the present occupants who are low income elderly per- sons, items relating to insulation of the attic and basement areas are necessary to be completed. These improvements were not done pre- viously because of a shortage of funds from the 1979 Hold Harmless CDBG program and the ultimate closeout of the succeeding small cities program 1978-80. UM PI The improvements were previously bid out and the cost is not ex- pected to exceed $5,000 total. I have discussed this situation with Wayne Gershon of your staff whom I feel has an understanding of the problem. This This situation is an urgent one. If you can consider this pro- posal in the immediate future, your acknowledgment of this request would be greatly appreciated. I await your reply. / 7ry trulyldygu s, Robert K. Hunt Property Management Specialist cc: William Carmody, Superintendent Milton Greenman, Attorney - OAKLAND couNTy inter-Departmental Memo Date February 14, 1984 From: I A Wnrrom To: Marcia E. 3erk1ey Subject.: Unfinished duplex - Township of Royal Oak, 21408-10 Woodside Street This office is in receipt of requests including two by resolution of the Township board dating back eighteen months requesting that this division find a means for completing two housing units owned by the township. The units arc attached duplex built in 1981 for rental to indigent, eld- erly persons under the "Last Resort Housing Section 206(a). These are factory built modular units and are electrically heated. The completion items required are more insulation in the attic from R-29 to an R-35 stan- dard and insulate and apply drywall to interior of outside basement walls. The total cost estimate is $5000 for both parts both units. The federal funding direct to the township, ran out before these finishing items could be installed (the need is apparent only because electricity was used as the heating method). The individual occupants are living rent free and the township pays utility bills after the changes tenants will pay. The units are not privately owned, the township owns them. This makes it difficult to have a grant or deferred loan under the usual rules. The township will use them for other simiarily situated persons when the present tenants vacate (each has a life estate). A deferred loan would not be appro- priate as the township would be the one to pay and they do not have resources to do it. An allocation for county contingency has been suggested. This requires the formal steps through the housing committees, council and board action that would be difficult to attempt and to explain to press, public and commissioners. The net result, assuming approval at all levels, would be the same as using existing housing rehabilitation allocation for this. I propose that it be called a rehabilitation grant case and that a contract be let by this office for the work to be charged to housing rehab account. A lien could be attached to the property so if the township sold the units a claim could be exercised. A set of plans and specifications now exists in our office that could be the basis for bidding the job. This would get the project going before another year of high utility costs add further to the waste of public funds that we have now witnessed.
