Authorize Creation of New Home Improvement Loan Program <br />Ms. Kelsey summarized the item before the board, explaining that staff is seeking authorization to <br />combine the Revolving Loan Program and the Family Loan Program and create one program entitled the <br />Home Improvement Loan Program. Ms. Kelsey noted that the combination is in keeping with the HRA <br />Strategic Plan which sought to simplify the administration of loan programs while reaching the widest <br />possible audience.
