FINANCE COMMITTEE
OAKLAND COUNTY HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
1994-1995
The HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program is a third year 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 $1,143,000 in HOME funds for program year (FY) 1994.
The Act gives preference to rehabilitation of substandard housing and new
construction as the most effective ways to meet the need to expand the supply of
affordable housing. The County's proposed HOME program is designed with one housing
rehabilitation component, one new construction component and two administrative
components.
I. HOUSING REHABILITATION
A. County-Operated Housing Rehabilitation
Seventy-three percent of FY 1994 HOME funds ($840,105) plus the 25%
statutorily required county match for rehabilitation activities of $210,026
are allocated 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 administered Home Improvement Program.
B. Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO's)
Oakland County is statutorily required to set-aside fifteen percent
($171,450) of the FY 1994 grant for Community Housing Development
Organizations to carry out HOME-assisted activities. The 15 percent
set-aside of 5171,450 plus the 30% federally mandated county match of
$51,435 for new construction activities provide a total of $222,885 for CHDO
administered housing activities for FY 1994.
CHDO's must be nonprofit organizations 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. CHDO's must have a "demonstrated capacity" to
implement HOME-assisted activities.
CHDO's may rehabilitate existing single-family homes for sale to low-income,
first-time homebuyers, or acquire vacant property to emplace modular houses
for sale to low-income, first-time homebuyers.
II. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
A. County Program Administration
HOME regulations provide ten percent of the FY 1994 HOME grant ($114.300)
for administration of the county HOME Program.
B. CHDO Administration
An amount equal to ten percent of the Community Housing Development
Organizations 1994 allocation ($17,145) is reserved for CHDO administration
of HOME funded activities;
