Housing/ Economic Development Program ATTACHMENT # 5 Page 1 of 2 FY 2009-10 HOUSING/ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BUDGETED AMOUNT: $466,500 PURPOSE AND GOAL This Program administers 3 sub-programs, the Housing/ Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund ($250,000) and Self Employment Training Program (SET) ($3,000), the Emergency Repair Grant Program ($40,000), and the Housing Rehabilitation/ Economic Development Loan Delivery and Servicing Program ($173,500). Housing The Housing Rehabilitation Revolving Loan and Grant Program includes marketing and promotion, responding to inquiries, working with homeowners and contractors on developing a scope of work, verifying contractor license and insurance requirements, ordering home inspections and lead based paint testing for homes built before 1978, creating loan documents, working with homeowners on executing the loan and securing the lien on the property title, providing on-going loan servicing, facilitating payments to contractors, and providing loan re-financing or reconveyance services when needed. The goal for 2009-2010 is to complete an average of five (5) rehab loans for a total of $250,000. Multi-family rehab loans will be offered at 3% and 5% interest, depending on affordability covenant terms. Single-family rehabilitation loans are offered at 3% or 4% for deferred loans (60+ years of age or disabled). Currently the City of Lompoc administers a portfolio of over $3 million in housing or economic development loans. Most of these 65 loans are housing-related (i.e. multi-family acquisitions or rehabilitations and single family rehabilitations). The City has one (1) active economic development (Saletti s restaurant). Catholic Charities administers the Emergency Repair Grant Program to owners of mobile home or frame construction dwelling units. Most of the households assisted are either elderly and/or disabled. Catholic Charities does an initial assessment of the extent of the emergency housing repair, oversees contractors or repair personnel to make repairs, and does a follow up visit with the homeowner to ensure that the repair was made and all needs were met. The goal for the Program is for 10 low and very low-income households to have emergency repairs completed in 2009-10. Economic Development The purpose of the Program is to benefit low- and moderate-income persons by assisting private, forprofit businesses through loans, grants, or interest subsidies in order to create or retain jobs in Lompoc. Under the Economic Development Revolving Loan (EDRL) Program, at least 51% of the jobs created or retained must be made available to or held by low- and moderate-income persons, as determined by HUD-issued income guidelines. The standard for evaluating public benefit is established as 1 job created for every increment of $35,000 in CDBG funds used. All jobs and income levels of new hires must be documented for at least two years after the loan is extended to the business. The City also offers a Self Employment Training (SET) Program for small businesses, also sometimes called micro enterprises, which are businesses with 5 or fewer employees. The goal for FY 09-10 is to Z:\councilagenda\2009\090519a\no7a\090519n7a5d.doc

Housing/ Economic Development Program ATTACHMENT # 5 Page 2 of 2 create or retain a minimum of approximately 5 jobs under either of these 2 programs. The $3,000 identified for the SET Program will be provided as grant funds to subsidize qualified low-income applicants tuition in a nuts and bolts oriented small business development-training program developed through the office of the City s Economic Development Program Manager. Loan funds may be made available on an as needed basis from the Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund, depending on funding availability. PROCEDURES Loans shall be structured to provide a reasonable return so loan funds can be recaptured and re-loaned, thus maximizing the public benefit. Prudent lending practices such as credit analysis, and review of collateral shall be used. Underwriting analysis and loan structuring is provided by a City Loan Committee and by consulting with bank professionals as needed. All loan structures and public benefit shall be acceptable to and approved by the City s CDBG program, City Finance and Management Services Director, Community Development Director, City Attorney, City Administrator and the City Council prior to execution of any loan documents.

ATTACHMENT # 5 FY 2009-10 CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM $100,000 PURPOSE AND GOAL The Code Enforcement Program will be providing a public service in areas of Lompoc, where at least 51% of the residents are low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons according to the most recent census. The Program will include costs incurred for the investigation of alleged code violations and to further enhance the enforcement of building and safety codes. These costs may include salaries and related expenses of persons providing code enforcement inspection services and legal proceedings but not including the cost of correcting the violations. Costs for correcting violations may be eligible for CDBG funding under the Housing Rehabilitation or Public Facility Programs. The Code Enforcement Program is targeted at deteriorated or deteriorating areas in Lompoc where 1) at least 51% of the residents of the area are LMI income persons; and 2) the Code Enforcement Program, together with public improvements, rehabilitation, and services to be provided, may be expected to arrest the decline of the area. Hours of operation will be: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with an office at City Hall, 100 Civic Center Plaza, in Lompoc. The Code Enforcement Program will establish goals as to the number of housing units that will be assisted in addressing code and safety violation issues. Code Enforcement activities meet the Low/Mod National Objective under the Area Benefit Criteria if they take place in a delineated area containing at least 51% percent low- and moderate-income persons. This area must be primarily residential in nature. Verification records shall be kept on site and available for Community Development staff or HUD inspection upon request.

Under the City s program, households may be either income eligible, or may qualify by being presumed beneficiaries, as defined by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) regulations.
