Quarterly Report for Housing Division February 18, 2020 Page 2 The number of applications received is typically lower than the number of applications sent out in any given period due to the stringent program guidelines for eligibility regulated by the federal government, which makes it difficult for most applicants to qualify. The Residential Construction Specialist position has been filled and applications for the Single -Family and Mobile Home Rehabilitation Program are being processed. There are currently seventeen applications in process for the rehabilitation of eleven single-family and six mobile homes. Rehabilitation Loan Underwriting and Approval Progress During this quarter, zero (0) home rehabilitation loans were funded due to the program previously being on hold. Rehabilitation Program Construction Progress During this phase, homeowners receiving rehabilitation loans are guided through an open selection of contractors to complete the work on their homes. Each homeowner is given a list of contractors that have been screened by staff for license and insurance requirements. However, homeowners are allowed to select any contractor that meets these same requirements. Staff assists the homeowners with the evaluation of bids and selection of a contractor. Staff also monitors the construction work, approves payments to contractors, and tracks expenditures to ensure compliance with the loan agreement and program guidelines. During this quarter, no rehabilitations of single-family homes or mobile homes were completed. Down Payment Assistance Loan Program (DPAP) Progress For the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program, staff evaluates applicant eligibility and oversees underwriting to ensure compliance with program guidelines and requirements established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). During this quarter, staff conducted one (1) down payment assistance workshop in which a total of 72 people attended. One down payment assistance application was approved and closed escrow.
