ATTACHMENT A
OAKLAND COUNTY FY 1992 HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
The HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program is a new housing program
authorized by Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing
Act of 1990 (NAHA). The HOME Program is intended to expand the supply of
decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for low-income persons.
Oakland County has been allocated $1.41 million in HOME funds for program
year (FY) 1992.
Oakland County is statutorily required to set-aside 15 percent ($211,500) of
the grant for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHD0s), and may
use the balance for low-income housing activities, general administration
(up to 10% of the grant) and CHDO Operating expenses. Oakland County's FY
1992 HOME Program is designed with three program components - 15% CHDO
set-aside, rHnO Operating Expenses and County-operated Housing
Rehabilitation.
A. Fifteen Percent Set-aside For CHDOs
CHDOs must be nonprofit. organizations that have been in existence for at
least one year, with boards of directors comprised of at least one-third
low-income persons, residents of low-income neighborhoods, or elected
representatives of low-income organizations. CHDOs must have a
"demonstrated capacity" to carry out HOME-assisted activities.
CHDOs may acquire/rehabilitate existing vacant single family homes or
acquire vacant property and emplace new single family modular homes for
subsequent sale to qualified low income, first time home buyers.
B. CHDO Operating Expenses
CHDOs may receive funds for operating expenses not to exceed an amount
equal to 10% of each CHDO allocation.
C. County-Operated Housing Rehabilitation Component
Oakland County will spend the balance of HOME funds to rehabilitate
single-family homes owned by "low-income" persons (i.e. incomes not
exceeding 80 percent of area median income). Only homeowners living in
one of the 50 Oakland County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program participating communities will be eligible for HOME-funded
rehabilitation. This program component is identical to the Community
Development Block Grant Home Improvement Program.

15% Allocation to CHDOs $211,500
CHDO Operating Expenses 21,150
