Further, acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future commitment and continuation of this program is contingent upon continued future levels of grant funding. ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY Grant Yolanda Smith Charles INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Economic Development Department has been working with the State of Michigan, Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) department to obtain a $460,000 grant to remediate property located at 283 Baldwin Avenue, 18 Tacoma Court, and 155 West Rundell Street, Pontiac. The grant agreement period is effective the date of contract execution through three years thereafter. The Economic Development Department was awarded a grant for 2026 Michigan Brownfield Redevelopment funding from the State of Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) in the amount of $460,000. There is no local grant match requirement. The State deadline for FY26 EGLE grants is August 31, 2026. The grant acceptance is currently in the Grant Review Process in accordance with the Grants Policy approved by the Board at their January 21, 2021, meeting. We anticipate having sign-off before the Board of Commissioners meeting on August 13th. This scenario was discussed and approved by Tifanny Keyes-Bowie, Grants Compliance Administrator. POLICY ANALYSIS The developer of the Property to be redeveloped under this grant is Hope Hospitality & Warming Ctr Inc (HOPE Shelters). HOPE Shelters has hired Sachse as the Project’s General Contractor. The Capital Investment is $7.534 million with 16 full-time and 32 part-time permanent jobs to be created. Hope Shelters plans to redevelop the Property by constructing an approximately 12,350 square- foot, one-story warming center and community shelter building on the eastern portion of the Property and a paved parking lot on the western portion. The existing building (former residence) on the 155 W Rundell parcel will remain and will continue to be used as an office. Redevelopment plans include the design and installation of a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) in the proposed new building to protect future occupants. The transportation and disposal of contaminated soil spoils generated during construction, construction oversight and testing of the VIMS, and one year of operational maintenance of the VIMS are included in this EGLE grant application. This redevelopment will improve both environmental and community aesthetics. Individuals connected with services at HOPE Shelters are connected with primary healthcare, behavioral health services (where indicated) and workforce development, ultimately increasing community economic stability. The City of Pontiac is supportive of the project and has approved special exemption permits for the proposed development. About HOPE Shelters HOPE Recuperative Shelter was established in 2014, the first-of-its-kind program in Michigan which offers a "hospital discharge to home" setting for recovery, reducing hospital readmissions and helping guests navigate the healthcare system. HOPE Shelters provides targeted support, serving unhoused adults, including veterans and aging foster youth, with a growing focus on seniors over 60. Operating 24-7, the center focuses on securing vital documents (IDs, birth certificates) and providing stability through onsite service navigation. These documents are essential to navigating modern life. HOPE led the task force which resulted in law change that provides those unhoused with fee waived birth certificates and Michigan State IDs. HOPE acts as a vital community partner by providing 24-7 operations to support the downtown Pontiac business district and conducting outreach initiatives to resolve homelessness for those living rough. HOPE Shelter’s low-barrier adult homeless shelter provides distinct social and community benefits by transforming traditional emergency facilities into a comprehensive service hub that serves both unhoused individuals and the surrounding neighborhood. HOPE Shelters is located in the most distressed zip code in Oakland County. By operating 24/7/365 with minimal entry requirements, HOPE Shelters offers law enforcement a reliable, immediate location to bring individuals in need, reducing the burden on hospital emergency rooms and local police resources. Additionally, as evidenced by Housing First studies, HOPE’s focus on ending homelessness through housing can provide significant community savings of approximately $15,000 per person per year, reducing ER visits, arrests and incarceration events.

ANTICIPATED SCOPE OF WORK / BUDGET: The scope of work will take place within the project boundaries identified in Figure 1 and includes the following activities to facilitate the safe reuse of the property: 1. Assessment and investigation, including, but not limited to additional investigation and sampling activities. 2. Due care including but not limited to due care planning, transportation and disposal of contaminated soils, and installation and commissioning of a vapor mitigation system. 3. Asbestos abatement of existing structures. 4. To request closeout of the grant, the Grantee must provide a comprehensive grant closeout report in the format provided by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The report will provide a comprehensive summary of all activities completed and expenses incurred under the grant. Page 2 of 4 5.

Contingency $57,550 Total $460,000 * Abatement costs (Task 3) cannot exceed the total combined cost of environmental activities (Tasks 1 and 2) funded by EGLE and other sources. If abatement occurs before the environmental activities, abatement reimbursement will be deferred until the environmental activity costs incurred equal or exceed the costs incurred for abatement. In addition to the broad budget items above, the grant may be used for work plan and budget development, bid solicitation, technical specifications, oversight, project management, reporting and other task related activities approved by the EGLE brownfield coordinator. Operation and maintenance plans must be prepared for any engineering controls implemented with the grant funding. All grant-eligible work, including tasks not listed above, must be approved in advance. Work completed without an approved work plan may not be eligible for grant reimbursement. Page 3 of 4 The grant administration, EGLE sign, and closeout report budgets, as well as reasonable costs to attend the kickoff meeting are approved upon signature of this agreement. A budget for work plan development of up to $3,000 per work plan is pre-approved. If development of a work plan is expected to cost more than the pre-approved budget, the anticipated cost to develop the work plan must be approved by the brownfield coordinator in advance, or the excess cost will not be eligible for reimbursement. Work plan development will be paid for under the appropriate budget items listed above. Refer to EGLE’s Brownfield Eligible Activity Resource document when preparing the work plan. Prior to the start of any other grant-eligible work, a work plan must be submitted to EGLE for review and approval. Progress reports must be submitted quarterly and include invoices for expenses incurred during the quarter. Submission of a progress report is required even if no expenses were incurred. Project deliverables for activities paid for by the grant must be provided to EGLE throughout the course of the grant. Deliverables may include, but are not limited to, bid documentation as required by the agreement, invoices and appropriate backup documentation for reimbursement, technical reports, and summaries of activities completed under the grant (including dates, quantities, transport and/or disposal documentation, monitoring summaries, photos, logs, figures/as built drawings/site plans, data/analytical results, or other relevant documentation.) A link to EGLE’s Brownfield Grant and Loan Deliverable Resource will be provided during the kick-off meeting or can be requested at any time. Ten percent of the grant award or amount spent will be retained by EGLE until the grant funded activities are complete, including receipt of all deliverables, closeout reporting, and documentation that any engineering controls funded by the grant are fully commissioned and operating as designed. SCHEDULE: The grant administration will be conducted during the entire length of the agreement. Work under the contingency task will be completed as necessary. Following the start of the agreement, the remaining tasks are anticipated to be conducted in the timeframes described below.
