2002 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
INTRODUCTION
In 1974, the Housing and Community Development Act reported that the nation's cities, towns and
smaller urban communities faced critical social, economic and environmental problems. Nearly three
decades later population growth and inadequate public/private investment in housing and other physical
activities remain critical issues in many urban areas.
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 has three national objectives:
1. Address the needs of low and moderate income people including senior citizens and the disabled
2. Eliminate slum and blight conditions; and
3. Meet urgent community needs where existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of a community where other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs.
Each year the Community and Home Improvement Division submits an application for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). This document represents the twenty-eighth submittal for funds. Since 1973, more than 131
million dollars has been available for eligible projects. This 2002 CDBG application has been complied
to reflect receiving $4,810,000.00 in HUD funds and an estimated 1.6 million in Revolving Loan Funds for
a total of more than 6.4 million dollars. The 2002 grant reflects a .03% decrease from funds received for
the 2001 program year.
It is anticipated that HUD will release CDBG funds during the latter part of May or early June 2002. Upon
notification that HUD has released the funds, our fifty participating communities will receive notice that
they may spend their allocations.

COUNTY OF OAKLAND, MICHIGAN
2002 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Act, Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-625), the County of Oakland will administer a HOME
program designed to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low-income
persons through strengthened public-private partnerships.
ESTIMATED USE OF HOME FUNDS & MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS
The Consolidated Plan indicates that Oakland County's housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family
owner-occupied. The HOME Program's goal of "expanding the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing" for low-income persons (s.92.1 ) is met through the rehabilitation of single-family
homes owned and occupied by low-income persons. The county's Consolidated Plan puts great
emphasis on housing rehabilitation as a proven method for improving the quality of housing stock in
which low-income persons reside. The following paragraphs detail the county's plan for the use of 2002
HOME funds.
A. Reservation of HOME Funds for County Operated Programs
Moderate Rehabilitation: Oakland County plans to undertake moderate rehabilitation of single-family
owner-occupied housing for low-income families. Specifically, the program will rehabilitate the principal
residence of an owner whose family qualifies as very low income (i.e. income not exceeding 50 percent
of the area median income) at the time HOME funds are committed to the housing (s.92.254(b)).
Participants will reside in one of the 50 communities participating in the Oakland County HOME Program.
(See attached participating communities) The value of the property, after rehabilitation, will not exceed
the area's mortgage limit for single-family housing under HUD's single-family insuring authority, the
National Affordable Housing Act (s.92.254(b)). For Oakland County, the value of housing, after HOME-
funded repairs, may not exceed $156,750 (56FR36985). These figures may vary as HUD publishes new
limits in the Federal Register.
Housing that is assisted with HOME funds will minimally meet HUD's Section 8 Housing Quality
Standards (HQS). Examples of rehabilitation work that can be financed through this program may
include, but are not limited to the following: plumbing, wells, septic systems, structural repairs, electrical
work, heating, roof replacement, masonry work, energy items, and barrier-free access.
The total property-related indebtedness after improvement, shall not exceed the property value. This
value is determined by a market analysis or by the Mortgage Application Acceleration Program (MAAP)
through the Oakland County Equalization Division. Total indebtedness is determined as a sum of the
existing property debt and the amount of the deferred home improvement loan.
Income eligibility will be determined for each household based on gross household income and family
size in accordance with HUD Section 8 Lower Income Limits. Eligible homeowners will receive a zero
percent deferred loan. Loans will be limited to $18,000 plus a $2000 contingency for a total possible
loan amount of $20,000 (maximum loan amounts are subject to periodic updates.)
As mandated by Congress, all housing rehabilitation projects funded with FY 2002 HOME funds will be
subject to matching funds requirements. Oakland County will ensure that rehabilitation projects are
funded at a ratio of one dollar matching funds per every four dollars of HOME monies expended, in
accordance with federal guidelines (s.92.218).
County Program Administration: Ten percent of the County's 2002 HOME grant allocation will be
reserved for administrative and planning costs in accordance with s.92.207.
B. Reservation of HOME Funds for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHD0s)
As required by HOME program regulations at s92.300, 15 percent of HOME funds received will be
distributed to CHDOs. Oakland County will continue to provide technical assistance to the three certified
Oakland County CHDOs under contract with Oakland County to ensure continued successes with HOME
funding. In keeping with the goals of the County's Consolidated Plan, CHDOs may be granted funds to
implement Home Buyer Assistance through acquisition with rehabilitation and /or new construction.
Home Buyer Assistance: CHDOs may use HOME funds to acquire and rehabilitate existing single
family homes for sale to qualified low income home buyers or acquire vacant property and construct new
or emplace modular homes for sale to qualified low income homebuyers. The maximum amount of
HOME funds a CHDO may invest in a home is established by HUD based on the number of bedrooms
per unit.
HOME MAXIMUM PER-UNIT SUBSIDY FOR OAKLAND COUNTY
0-Bedroom 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom 3-Bedroom 4-Bedroom
$68,676 $78,723 $95,727 $123,838 $135,926
The appraised value of the property after rehabilitation may not exceed the single family mortgage limits
established by HUD ($156,750 for a single family unit). The sale price of the home may not exceed the
appraised value limit.
Resale Provisions: Housing that is for purchase and qualifies as affordable housing is subject to resale
and/or recapture provisions [24CFR 92.254(a)(4)] for minimum periods of 5 years where the per unit
amount of HOME funds provided is less than $15,000; 10 years where the per unit amount of HOME
funds provided is $15,000 to $40,000; and 15 years where the per unit amount of HOME funds provided
is greater than $40,000. Under the county's recapture provisions, the HOME investment that is subject
to recapture is the HOME assistance that enables the homebuyer to buy the dwelling unit. This
assistance will be a home buyer subsidy ( $1,000.00 minimum) that makes the home affordable to a low
income home buyer.
The home buyer assistance will be a deferred payment loan with 0% interest, payable upon the
conversion of the property use and /or ownership and will be secured by an Oakland County Community
and Home Improvement mortgage and note. The recaptured funds must be used to carry out HOME-
eligible activities.
At the time of purchase, housing that is newly constructed or rehabilitated using HOME funds must meet
certain property standards including Housing Quality Standards, local code standards, and rehabilitation
standards.
As mandated by Congress, all housing rehabilitation and/or new construction projects funded with FY
2002 HOME funds will be subject to matching funds requirements. Oakland County will ensure that
rehabilitation projects are funded at a ratio of one dollar matching funds per every four dollars of HOME
monies expended, in accordance with federal guidelines (s.92.218).
A contract must be executed by a CHDO prior to disbursement of any funds under the HOME program.
This grant agreement will identify the grant amount, grant terms and the programmatic responsibilities of
the CHDO.
A monitoring plan for the HOME program will be followed by the county and CHDO. The plan includes
providing on-going technical assistance to CHDOs, conducting annual program audits and required
single audits, monitoring audits for identified deficiencies, assessing spending performance through
monthly reviews of financial documents, conducting on-site property inspections to authorize project
progress payments and reviewing payment requests and project files for compliance with program
requirements and necessary documentation. Letters of deficiencies will be provided to CHDOs and
corrective actions taken.
HOME TENANT- BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
Although tenant based rental assistance is identified as a need in Oakland County, single family housing
rehabilitation has been identified as the priority need in fulfilling Oakland County's HOME Program goal
of "expanding the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing" for low-income persons. Due
to limited HOME funding and the County's need to maximize returns on investments in providing
additional affordable housing, tenant based rental assistance is not funded as a primary housing need for
the County.
OTHER FORMS OF INVESTMENT
As indicated in 24 CFR 92.205(b) Oakland County will not invest HOME funds in a loan guarantee
account.
AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING
In accordance with 24 CFR 92.351(a), Oakland County will carry out the following affirmative marketing
procedures for all HOME assisted home buyer projects of five or more units. Affirmative marketing will
consist of actions to provide information to attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the
available housing without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status or disability.
A. An advertising campaign will be developed within the market area to provide information concerning
the Federal fair housing laws and the County's Affirmative Marketing Plan. All promotional materials
will include the use of the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype or slogan in press releases and
solicitations.
B. Each Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) under contract with Oakland County
must certify that they will affirmatively market projects of five or more housing units in accordance
with the County's Affirmative Marketing Plan. In addition, each CHDO must provide written
procedures indicating their plan to inform and solicit applications from persons in the housing market
area who are not likely to apply for the housing without special outreach.
C. The County will maintain records to document each CHDOs affirmative marketing efforts for HOME
projects and assess the results of each.
D. Annually, Oakland County will meet with each certified Oakland County CHDO to assess the success
of their affirmative marketing actions and discuss corrective actions that will be taken where
affirmative marketing requirements were not met.
WOMEN AND MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (W/MBE) OUTREACH
Oakland County's strategy to achieve W/MBE participation in the HOME Program focuses on enhancing
and overseeing the existing W/MBE outreach program designed for the single family owner-occupied
housing rehabilitation program administered by Oakland County. The county will maintain a list of
licensed and insured contractors/residential builders for both the CDBG and HOME financed home
improvement programs. Contractors on the contractors list are currently invited to bid on home
improvement jobs on an alternating basis. The county will make every effort to ensure that at least one
W/MBE will be invited to bid every home improvement job under the HOME and CDBG funded home
improvement programs.
To expand the program's W/MBE opportunities, the county will contact the Michigan Department of
Commerce and area contractor associations for updated W/MBE resource directories. Letters of
introduction and invitation to the contractor's list will be mailed to the women and minority businesses.
Also, the county will track and attend W/MBE seminars throughout southeast Michigan in order to
promote the Home Improvement Program to potential contractors. Oakland County will facilitate small
W/MBE in securing bank loans for working capital through assignments of accounts receivable by issuing
two-party checks.
REFINANCING
Oakland County does not intend to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing rehabilitated
with HOME funds.

2002 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT (ESG) PROGRAM
STATEMENT OF NEED
Assessment of the five shelters that participated in the 2000 Oakland County Emergency Shelter Grant
(ESG) program reveals 1,975 men, women, and children used these facilities from June 2000 - May
2001. Homelessness continues to be a countywide problem.
INVENTORY OF FACILITIES AND ASSISTANCE SERVING THE HOMELESS
The five shelters that received 2001 ESG program funds are the South Oakland Shelter (SOS), HAVEN
(Help Against Violent Encounters Now), New Bethel Outreach Ministry, ,Lighthouse PATH, and the
Common Ground Sanctuary (A Step Forward). Each participating shelter provides services for residents
from all parts of Oakland County. HAVEN and New Bethel Outreach Ministry are located in the City of
Pontiac. Lighthouse PATH is located in Pontiac and provides added services in the City of Oak Park.
The Common Ground Sanctuary is located in the City of Royal Oak. All of the shelters except the South
Oakland Shelter are permanently sited. SOS rotates its site each week throughout many of the County's
CDBG participating jurisdictions.
The South Oakland Shelter (SOS) is a consortium of approximately 50 sites designed to provide a
weekly "rotating" emergency shelter program. The SOS network primarily consists of churches and
synagogues, each with the capacity to house and provide services to approximately 30 homeless
individuals at any one time. SOS provides overnight lodging; morning and evening meals; box lunches
for those seeking employment; professional counseling; personal care packages; laundry service;
transportation; and referrals for clothing, housing, employment, social service and social security
assistance; medical concerns; veteran matters and substance abuse issues.
HAVEN (Help Against Violent Encounters Now) is a private, nonprofit agency that serves all of Oakland
County as an emergency shelter for women and children left homeless due to physical, sexual, and/or
emotional abuse. HAVEN's shelter in Pontiac has a capacity of 65 beds, but often exceeds this number.
This facility provides food, shelter, clothing, and supportive counseling services.
New Bethel Outreach Ministry, operated by the New Bethel Baptist Outreach Ministry is a faith-based
organization located in Pontiac. It has 24 beds for women and children.
Lighthouse PATH, (a division of Lighthouse of Oakland County) is a Pontiac-based nonprofit agency
providing transitional housing and shelter for women and their young children. PATH operates 18 private
apartments and six adjacent residences in Pontiac within a two-block radius. Supportive services include
shelter, counseling, training, mentoring, and daycare. Another 10 family units are located in Oak Park
with the same supports. PATH has a shelter capacity of 84 beds.
The Common Ground Sanctuary's "A Step Forward" is a transitional living program for homeless or at-
risk youth ages 16-20. The program promotes self-sufficiency through residential and non-residential
services. They provide a 24-hour crisis line, information and referrals; skills building training; meals;
individual, family, group, and aftercare counseling; peer counseling; mentoring; substance abuse
education and assessment; family preservation; and support groups for youth, parents, and families.
The CGS, ASF program has 7 beds with an additional 4 for the graduated program.
These shelters are responding to the immediate needs of Oakland County's homeless population.
Emergency Shelter Grant funds will enable these providers to target services to the homeless to foster
the development of economic autonomy, self-sufficiency, and functional family units.
The County views the Emergency Shelter Program as an essential component of its plan to assist the
homeless. The homeless do not fit into a traditional social service system. Many lack jobs, the basic
means to take care of themselves, and social support networks. The homeless may also be confronted
with other issues including substance abuse; physical, emotional and/or mental health concerns; and
vocational needs.
HAVEN, New Bethel Outreach Ministry, and SOS have taken the first step in attempting to address a
very complex issue by simply offering a safe place to sleep, a warm meal, and a listening ear.
Lighthouse PATH and Common Ground Sanctuary offer housing and independent living options.
Oakland County plans to allocate ESG monies based upon the program's goal to expand and improve
the quality of existing emergency shelters. Local non-profit organizations would receive funding to
support certain operating expenses such as maintenance, insurance, utilities, and furnishings as well as
essential social service expenses and organizational support (shelter administration) costs as provided
by ESG regulations. Funds will be allocated on a competitive basis. The following elements will be
considered: the ratio of beds utilized at 100% capacity (utilization), the ratio of clients whose last know
address was a community that participates in the Oakland County CDBG program weighted twice
(residency), and the number of available beds (capacity).
The County will ensure that a reasonable division of the funds can be reached. The budget is based on
the premise that Oakland County will not take its five percent allowance for administration, and that each
of the participating shelters will take the maximum allowable for essential services (30 percent) and
organizational support (shelter administration 10 percent). Donations of time, material, and labor satisfy
match requirements.
