Five activities cont’d. • C. Land banks for homes foreclosed on [hold up to 10 years/or until reentry into market “on their own”; can maintain properties {responsibly, but frugally}]; • D. Demolish blighted structures; and • E. Redevelop demolished or vacant properties [includes acquisition, disposition, public facilities; new construction, relocation].
NSP - CttT • Any of the 5 activities can work for the non-prof development community • NSP requires 25% of given allocation to reach those at or below 50% AMI • Niche market for developers • City’s will be challenged to meet req • Timing & coordination issues • Existing pipeline projects
HPRP • A] Rental assistance no> 18 mos • B] Relocation & stabilization services • C] Data collection/evaluation • D] Administrative costs • All to those homeless or at risk of becoming homeless
CDBG-R • CDBG-R: similar to CDBG program but necessary nexus between activity and economic crisis & recovery
CDBG-R - CttT • Similar to CDBG, but • Additional constraints • Short expenditure time-frames • City’s in a hurry to both ID projects and spend funds • Cannot wait pending other agency decisions on applications • All funds must be spent by 9/2012
Tips • No council support, no project • No project ever at any time in some areas • HUD funds are the crucial source of “other funding sources” as others don’t exist • Information out there, hard to get to • Must know local government structure and players
