Overview: We expect to receive funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Public Housing Renovations Program. Based on conversations with the Greensboro Regional Office, and recommended amounts published by the Capital Fund Program at HUD, we anticipate an award of $886,583 although we have not yet received formal notification of the 2020-2021 Capital Fund Grant amount. We have prepared our recommendations based on this $886,583 estimate.
Recommendation(s):
That the Council:
1. Adopt the resolution approving the recommended 2020-2021 Capital Fund Program for Public Housing renovations.
2. Enact the project ordinance to establish the Capital Fund Program Budget for the 2020-2021 program.
Key Points:
* In February 2020, Housing staff met with Public Housing residents to receive comments and suggestions on the use of the Capital Fund grant. Forty-four residents and three interpreters attended the meeting.
* Public Housing residents were mailed a survey inviting them to suggest uses for the Capital Fund.
* Thirty-six surveys were returned. Sixteen in Karen, eleven in English, six in Burmese, and three in Arabic.
* Comments received from the meeting and the survey along with relevant portions of the Public Housing Master Plan were considered in developing the Proposed Capital Fund Program.
