NSP Only - LMMI Overall Projected Budget from All Sources Budget Obligated Funds Drawdown To Date $239,344.86 $239,344.86 $239,344.86 $239,344.86 Program Funds Drawdown $238,846.60 Program Income Drawdown $498.26 Program Income Received Apr 1 thru Jun 30, 2016 N/A Funds Expended $239,344.86 Match Contributed Activity Description: $239,344.86 The City of Savannah will use NSP funds to demolish blighted structures in Census Tracts, Block Groups and/or neighborhoods in which at least 51% of the residents have incomes below 120% of Area Median Income. Blighted structures are those that exhibit objectively determinable signs of deterioration sufficient to constitute a threat to human health, safety and public welfare. The City of Savannah will use the International Property Maintenance Code s definition of blighted property in determining if a property is blighted. This definition is: Any structure or premises, which by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, lack of ventilation, light or sanitary facilities, or any combination of these factors detrimental to safety, health and morals. The City of Savannah s Property Maintenance Department oversees the enforcement of the International Property Maintenance Code and will, therefore, oversee the implementation of this NSP activity. The removal of these types of blighted properties should help stabilize neighborhoods and begin to help reduce the blight, crime and disinvestment that occurs in neighborhoods. These types of blighted structures also hold down property values which makes it difficult for neighborhood residents to borrow money to invest in their properties or to sell their properties should the need arise. All properties demolished using NSP funds shall have a repayable lien placed against the title of the property. The City shall aggressively seek to recover its NSP investment using its Revenue Department to assist with this initiative. Whenever possible and where title is clear, the City shall seek to acquire the demolished property and sell it to an affordable housing developer. However, many blighted properties in need of demolition are likely to have title problems that make acquiring and/or developing the property difficult. Demolished properties that the City is able to acquire and sell, will be sold to developers who will be required to develop affordable housing that meets the long term affordability and other requirements established for the HOME program. These requirements will be enforced through various legal documents including loan agreements, promissory notes, deeds and/or other forms of deed restrictions. They will also be enforced through monitoring performed by the City of Savannah. This activity will be carried out in Census Tracts, Block Groups and/or neighborhoods in which at least 51% of residents have incomes at or below 120% of the Area Median Income. These areas have been identified as likely to face a significant rise in the rate of home foreclosures due to subprime lending and other conditions that affect LMMI residents.
