Recommendation Concerning Amendment #1 to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Century - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning Amendment #1 to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Century:

Due to the February tornado, additional funding is needed to assist Town residents with uninsured or underinsured repairs. The Town has already encumbered its original allocation of $60,000. This amendment (Exhibit II) allocates additional funding as well as updates the income eligibility chart, end dates, and provides additional details for the disaster funding as suggested by Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
