We will review our <br />implementation plan on an annual basis, beginning in 2020, with <br />the Valley Heights CDA to ensure we are utilizing their resources <br />most effectively. <br />Local Funding Resources: <br />LCDA <br />We would strongly consider supporting/sponsoring an <br />application to Livable Communities Account programs for multi- <br />family rental proposals with units suitable for large families, and <br />in areas guided for high density residential. <br />Local Funding Resources: <br />CDBG <br />We will explore the use of a portion (no more than 15% of our <br />total allocation in any given year) of our CDBG funds to create a <br />low-interest revolving loan fund for the rehabilitation of existing <br />large-unit rental properties in exchange for a minimum period of <br />income restricted affordability. This study will be documented <br />and completed by 2026. <br />Rental units for <br />large families at all <br />affordability levels, <br />continued. <br />Local Funding Resources: <br />HOME <br />We will explore with Valley Heights County the application for <br />HOME funds to provide rental assistance to low and moderate <br />income households that are in existing rental units suitable for <br />large families. We will document this exploration and its results <br />by 2023. <br />Super RFP We would strongly consider supporting/sponsoring an <br />application to Super RFP programs for large unit rental project <br />proposals in areas guided for high density residential uses. <br />Housing Bonds We would consider issuing Housing Bonds to support a rental <br />project with units suitable for large families in the Lake Valley <br />Heights School District. However, there are competing priorities <br />and limitations to city bonding authority. <br />Preservation strategies: <br />4d <br />We will approach identified owners of existing large-unit rental <br />properties to discuss the possibility of 4d program tax breaks by <br />2025. <br />Preservation Strategies We will explore the use of a portion (no more than 15% of our <br />total allocation in any given year) of our CDBG funds to create a <br />low-interest revolving loan fund for the rehabilitation of existing <br />large-unit rental properties in exchange for a minimum period of <br />income restricted affordability. This study will be documented <br />and completed by 2026. <br />Site Assembly We would strongly consider supporting/sponsoring an <br />environmental clean-up grant application for an affordable large- <br />unit rental project within the Lake Valley Heights School District.
