BACKGROUND
Through its partnership with the Salisbury CDC, Rowan County has been able to provide a wide range of services to its citizens since 2012 that include: housing rehabilitation, down payment assistance, new construction, foreclosure prevention and credit counselling.
The CDC has received $132,000 from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to administer an urgent repair program for ten (10) homes in 2022-23.
REQUEST
Due to the overwhelming need for housing rehabilitation assistance, the CDC is requesting $10,000 from Rowan County to assist one additional homeowner in this Urgent Repair Program (URP). The URP program offers housing rehabilitation assistance to homeowners in the unincorporated areas of Rowan County and each municipality.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize process (pre-audit, etc.) for appropriation of $10,000 to be allocated to the Salisbury Community Development Corporation for use in assisting one (1) additional homeowner as part of the URP 2022 program.
