BACKGROUND:

On September 24, 2014, the Board approved the Agreement for SHIP Housing Repair Assistance with Community Action Program Committee, Inc. (CAPC) providing for $150,000 in 2015 State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program funds for housing repair assistance and $7500 in administrative support (see Exhibit II for Board Minutes). CAPC planned to utilize the SHIP funds in conjunction with their Weatherization funding from the Department of Economic Opportunity, which was delayed until late April. Due to this delay, CAPC requested a contract extension (Exhibit II) in order to complete repair jobs and applications in progress. No funds have been expended to date. Eight clients are currently approved, with repair jobs in progress, and three additional clients are in application. Amendment #1 (Exhibit III) to the Agreement provides for an extension through December 31, 2015 to allow CAPC to complete applications and repair work. Any funds not expended by December 31, 2015 will be released to the County for its repair programs.
