PROGRAM DESIGN
CITY OF TAMARAC HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM
FY 2017 -2018
Program Summary
The Housing Rehabilitation Program is designed to assist homeowners with minor rehabilitation
of substandard owner -occupied housing units in need of repairs to correct code violations,
health and safety issues, electrical, plumbing, roofing, windows and other structural items.
Rehabilitation may include, but not limited to, mitigation improvements such as replacement of
roof sheathing, replacement of roof covering, installation of secondary water barrier, installations
of hurricane straps, installation of impact resistant shutters or impact resistant windows doors
and garage doors. Additionally, this strategy provides for installation of non -luxury general
property improvements to provide basic amenities and to bring units into conformity with
applicable housing standards. All rehabilitation work is required to include initiatives for green
building design and techniques. It is estimated that a minimum of three (3) income eligible
households will be awarded up to $40,000 to assist them with minor home rehabilitation.
Program Implementation Overview
The City of Tamarac's Community Development Department, through its Housing Division, is
responsible for the management, implementation, and the bidding and construction process of
the City's Owner -Occupied Rehabilitation Program. The Housing and Neighborhood Program's
Manager, or her designee, operates the program according to the housing guidelines and
consistent with HUD regulations. Personnel will assist income eligible families who meet the
HUD income guidelines and currently own a home and occupy it as their primary residence
within the City of Tamarac. Accomplishments will be measured through the completion of minor
home rehabilitation projects of a minimum of three (3) homes within the City. Program
implementation includes the following:
1. Direct Service to HOME Eligible Recipients and Properties may include, but not limited to:
a. Advertise and distribute program information to assure the community is aware of
available funding through the Owner -Occupied Rehabilitation.
b. Coordinate Client Intake and Property Eligibility
c. Process and Approve Applications
d. Perform Property Assessments
e. Develop a Comprehensive Bid Specification and Scope of Work for Eligible Units
f. Conduct Established Bidding Procedures
g. Award to Qualified Contractors
h. Prepare City's Closing Documents
i. Schedule Closings with Qualified Owner -Occupants
j. Prepare Transmittal Documents for Recording in a Timely Fashion
k. Oversee and Manage the Construction Process from Permitting through the Final
Inspections
PROGRAM DESIGN
(Continued)
I. Review and approval of Change Orders
2. Quarterly Reporting of Program Status:
a. Provide Quarterly Reports on Program Activities and Progress
b. Review Current Status of Program for Compliance with HUD Guidelines and Program
Objectives
c. Complete All Reports Required by Broward County and HUD
d. Monitor Program Expenditures
e. Prepare and Submit Reimbursement Requests
Recipient Selection Criteria
The City of Tamarac does not maintain a traditional "waiting list". Instead, an open enrollment
period is publicly advertised on the City's website and City's publication, so as to notify residents
of the application window. After the application window is closed, applicants are selected using
a lottery system, no more than 25 applicants will be drawn at any given time. Applicants will be
ranked for assistance based on a first come, first qualified, first served basis.
Applicant Processing and Verification
Applicants are eligible for assistance if the home is owner -occupied and they do not have a
current lien from a prior rehabilitation grant, the first mortgage payments are up to date, there is
no second mortgage with payments or equity line of credit outstanding on the property, taxes
must be paid, homeowners association fees are up to date, current insurance is in force and the
household is income eligible for family size established by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).
The property is assessed for eligibility, determined by the amount and costs of work to include
code requirements. The City will not award subsidy financing if any code violations, liens, and/or
open permits exist. Verification of income based on family size is conducted to determine
eligibility and the loan amount. The owner is income -certified once eligibility is confirmed and all
required documentation has been received.
Income Eligibility
Due to limited funding availability, the City focuses on serving the low-income categories and
follows HUD household income guidelines for the HOME and Community Development Block
Grant Program.
Terms, Recapture and Default
The terms of the assistance are in the form of a deferred no -interest 15-year loan. Since this is a
grant funded loan program, owner occupancy for 15 years after closing on the home is required.
Loan Forgiveness/Repayment terms are as follows:
PROGRAM DESIGN
(Continued)
• The principal balance of the Forgivable Loan ("Loan") shall be forgiven each year in a mount
of 20% on the anniversary date of the Loan following the eleventh (11th) year of occupancy
of the property by an Income Eligible Household. Repayment of the Loan, when required,
shall be based upon the prorated principal balance for the remaining term of the Loan.
100% repayable to City during Years 1-10
• 20% reduction on principal balance during Years 11-15
• Loan position no lower than second
Full repayment is due during the affordability period if the home is sold, there is an assignment,
or any transfer of title of the property, or refinance unless for purposes of lowering the interest
rate.
Subordinations shall be administered in accordance with CITY's subordination policy. Only for the
purpose of refinancing to obtain a lower interest rate, thereby, making the payments more
manageable for the homeowner. The City does not allow cash -out and requires the payoff of the
remaining loan balance should the homeowner wish to refinance and increase the first loan
amount for the purpose of receiving cash equity.
