Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of up to $160,000.00 of the 2021 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) entitlement grant (CHDO set-a-side) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and to enter into a commitment letter, loan agreement, promissory note, mortgage, restrictive covenant, and bond grant agreement with Healthy Rental Homes VI, LLC to construct single family and duplex rental homes.

Lastly, the general contractor will pour concrete parking pads and walk ways, and each site will be fully landscaped with sod, bushes, and a shade tree. Upon completion, these projects will blend with the existing fabric of the community, and there will be no visible evidence to suggest that they are modular in nature. The th...
