RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Amendment #1 to the SHIP Program Agreement with Northwest Florida Community Housing Development Corporation - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning Amendment #1 to the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) Program Agreement with Northwest Florida Community Housing Development Corporation:

A. Approve Amendment #1 to the Escambia County SHIP Program Substantial Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Project Agreement Disaster Recovery Housing Program with the Northwest Florida Community Housing Development Corporation to extend the Contract end date through December 31, 2017; and

B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute the Agreement and all project-related documents as required to implement the project.

[Funding: Fund 120/2016 SHIP, Cost Center 370202]

BACKGROUND:

On August 18, 2016, the Board approved a SHIP Agreement with Northwest Florida Community Housing Development Corporation (NFCHDC) to administer a disaster recovery program to help with replacement housing for owner occupants due to the February 2016 tornados. NFCHDC has been able to leverage the Community Contribution Tax Credit Program (CCTCP) with SHIP funds to complete four homes to date, with seven others in varying stages of construction. While most of the homes will be substantially complete by late July/early August, there are a couple of properties that received a delayed construction start by NFCHDC due to problems with client application documentation collected by the Neighborhood Enterprise Division (probate, duplication of benefits information, eligibility documentation, title issues, etc). This Amendment (Exhibit I) extends the completion date to December 31, 2017. No other changes are being made to the original Agreement. To date, with the CCTCP funding, SHIP construction funds expended on the replacement homes have averaged less than $40,000 as NFCHDC has been able to leverage support from various private local businesses to complete the new homes.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

The funding required for the Agreement and Amendment #1 is budgeted in Fund 120/2016 SHIP, Cost Center 370202. No additional funds are being requested through this Amendment.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

Amendment #1 has been reviewed and approved by Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney.

PERSONNEL:

No impact to personnel.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

SHIP funding Agreements and Amendments must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

The SHIP project will continue to be coordinated through the Neighborhood Enterprise Division jointly with the Northwest Florida Community Housing Development Corporation.
