Commission approval requested for adoption of Rehaq r iliatation Loan Program Guidelines. Mrs. Baumgartner explained that a study recently completed by the Community Development Department of existing housing programs concluded that the prog ams that did not require a pay back did not result in lasting repairs. With that in mind the new housing programs were designed as loan programs, with interest in the range of 0.3 %. Applications will be taken throughout the year but will only be considered four or five times a year, in bulk, based on the amount of funding available at the time. This will give the City the opportunity to target certain areas within the City in which more rehabilitation might be needed. The recipients must be credit worthy and able to assume this debt. All loans will be secured by a mortgage or promissory note and no loan will be made for more than 110% of the after rehabilitation value of the property. All of the loans will be recom- mended to the Commission for approval or rejection by an advisory board that you will appoint. All code items must be corrected and all work will be let f r proposals and contracted out. -3- COMMISSION APPROVED THE SALE OF MONROE- SAMPLE DISPOSITION PARCEL #15 South Bend R development Commission Regular Meeting - May 14, 1982 5.
