Subject: (Direct Referral) Staff requests authorization to modify HOME grant policy. (Res. No. 12-3266)
Recommendation of the Loan Board of Review on July 19, 2012: Recommend approval of the modifications to the home improvement loan matching grant policy: that the matching grant shall be no larger than the amount needed so that housing cost ratio does not exceed 41% and/or total debt ratio does not exceed 45% or $14,999 (maximum grant), whichever is less.
Fiscal Note: Grants are provided from Federal HOME funds. The change is necessary to bring the City's program into compliance with U.S. HUD guidelines and regulations.
