5. 6LD BUSINESS-(Cont'd In summary, without going through each one -since this is a public hearing --�Mr. Lennon stated he will give a four - paragraph summary without going through each in- dividual case, since all interested parties have had a chance to see it. The items were presented and approved, as mentioned: To be eligible for a loan or a grant, the applicant must hold legal title to, and live in the pro- perty to be rehabilitated or occupy it under a land con- tract according to the guidelines: The applicant must also meet income criteria, including the provision that a household's adjusted gross income must not exceed $11,000. There is more regarding a table on the family size as well. The guidelines say that a loan from the Emergency Repair Fund would be deducted from-the total rehabilitation work grant and would not be an extra grant.
