STATUS REPORT CONCERNING CDBG HOME IMPROVEMENT .LOAN PROGIL~
DISCUSSION:
The City of Tustin participates with the County of Orange in applying for annual
Community Development 81ock Grants from the Federal Housing and Urban
Development Department.
During the past three years, we have applied fbr and received grant funds for
residential rehabilitation home improvement loans. These loans are offered at
low interest rates secured by second trust deeds. At the last City Council
meeting, Councilman Edgar requested a status report concerning the amount of
funds loaned to date. In the fiscal year 82/83 the City was granted $50,000, in
83/84 we were granted $75,000, and in 84/85 we have been authorized and will
soon receive an additional $25,000. Overall, for the past three years the 8th,
9th and 10th year of CDBG program funding,' Tust$n has been given $150,000.
While last year the majority of these funds had not bee applied for by Tustin
residents, it appears as of this date they have all been committed. Last
spring, the Community Development Department commenced a public awareness
program advertising the loan program in both the "Tustin Today" newsletter and
an announcement on private property water bills. The program is now
overwhelmingly successful to the extent the County of 0range is provided
additional funds without obligation to the City to meet the Tustin demand.
Since our application for 11th year grant funds is due this October for funding
in 1985, we will probably seek a sizable 9rant to accommodate Tustin property
owners.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
