HomeMy WebLinkAboutCAP 2010-04-12 Item 2A - Grant Applilcation - 2011 Minor Home Repair Program with King CountyTO:
FROM: Evie Boykan, Human Services Manager
DATE: April 12, 2010
SUBJECT: Authorization to submit CDBG Application for Minor Home Repair 2011
ISSUE
King County must receive the Mayor's signature by authorization from the City Council to submit
the annual application to King County for Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. These funds target the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. For 2011, we again
propose serving as the fiscal administrator for minor home repair in the cities of Tukwila,
SeaTac, Des Moines, and Covington. This program successfully assists low and moderate
income homeowners in maintaining their homes.
BACKGROUND
The Office of Human Services has been administering this program in -house since 2005. In
2009 our contractors served 24 unduplicated households with 165 hours of labor. Tukwila's
current budget for this program is $100,000 for the entire program and $25,000 for Tukwila. We
propose asking for $110,000 to cover work related to new regulations on lead based paint.
DISCUSSION
This application competes county wide with other capital federal applications from both cities
and non profit agencies. Tukwila sits at the table to recommend capital projects, but of course
cannot vote on their own application.
RECOMMENDATION

Response to question 3: Project Description: Describe in detail what you plan to acquire, construct, or rehabilitate. Give specific
details related to the project and proposed use of the CDBG funds. Identify the permits that will be required for the project as well
as any land use approvals (i.e. lot line adjustment, subdivision, rezone, conditional use, etc.) Limit answer to space provided.
Funds will be used to pay licensed contractors to provide minor home repair to income eligible
populations within the jurisdictions of Tukwila, SeaTac, Des Moines and Covington. Staff support
from each respective city is contributed to administer the program at each respective city while the
City of Tukwila provides support as the fiscal agent. Repairs target maintaining the safety and health
of the residents and preserving the housing as well as conserving energy. All permits required by
consistency with city code are obtained as necessary. Activities include but are not limited to
earthquake preparedness, small plumbing and electrical repairs, preventive maintenance activities,
etc. The program is offered to residents on a first come first serve basis with safety and health
concerns being prioritized. This subregional program has successfully widened it's scope of influence
each year by bringing on new city partners to meet the needs of communities with affordable
homeownership housing stock in need of preventive maintenance and repair. The majority of
residents served in the program are extremely low to very low in income. Additional funds have been
added to cover the costs of environmental review and lead based paint regulations.
To request additional information contact King County Housing Community Development
Program (HCD), (206) 293 -9092, or TTY:711 (Relay Service).
