6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd 5) Ms. Derbeck: I thought that one of the rules was that you could not get assistance from any Federal Agency? A. HUD waived that requirement. Lengthy conversations followed on the repairing of homes vs. the alternatives of tearing the deteriorating homes down that are substandard. Mr. Crighton advised that if somebody is already receiving Housing Allowance assistance, we are not allowed to make any repairs to the home as the subsidy received'is to be used to keep the home in needed repairs; our grant is not considered income, so it is not a Federal subsidy. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Donaldson and carried, for the approval and adoption of the amendment to the "Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Program" to extend the HAD Elderly Referral Program to all handicapped persons, as defined in the Housing Allowance Office, Inc., letter dated December 22, 1975, with excerpts noted above. c.
