During the <br />2011-2012 report period a sampling of 143 units were inspected - the majority of units are owned <br />and managed by CHDOs. While the vast majority of the inspected units passed initial housing <br />quality standards inspection some units required minor corrections. Typical required repairs <br />included replacing inoperable smoke detectors, inoperable stove burners, and dirty carpets. <br />Several more HOME-assisted rental projects are scheduled for inspection during 2012-2013. <br />Affirmative Marketing Actions to Minority & Women Owned Businesses <br />As a participating jurisdiction in the HOME and CDBG programs, the City has adopted the following <br />affirmative marketing policies for minority and women owned businesses: <br />¦ List of methods to inform the public about federal fair housing laws and the City's affirmative <br />marketing policy. <br />¦ Requirements and practices owners must adhere to in order to carry out this policy. <br />¦ Procedures owners must use to inform and solicit applications from persons in the housing <br />market area who are not likely to apply for the housing without special outreach. <br />¦ Records that owners and the City will keep describing the actions they have taken to <br />affirmatively market units and records to assess the results of these actions. <br />¦ A description of how the City will annually assess the success of affirmative marketing actions <br />and determine what corrective actions are needed. <br />Outreach to Minority/Women Owned Businesses <br />As a participating jurisdiction the City has adopted certain affirmative steps to insure maximum <br />feasible participation in HOME- and CDBG- funded projects by minority business enterprises, <br />women's business enterprises, labor surplus area firms and other small businesses.
