Specific project information will be listed in each activity. Lee County also plans to reserve 10% for program administration. How Fund Use Addresses Market Conditions: Department of Human Services staff used the HUD NSP3 Mapping Tool Data, The Reinvestment Fund PolicyMap, MLS data, and experience locating, acquiring and renovating homes under the NSP1 program to identify the areas of greatest need for NSP3. A total of four areas have been defined: Central Fort Myers, Fort Myers Villas, Gator Circle, and West Lehigh Acres. All areas have an individual score of 20, exceeding the State Minimum Threshold Score of 17.The PolicyMap of the Estimated Rate of Foreclosures and Serious Delinquent Mortgages According to HUD as of June 2010 for each area indicated they are all in the highest category for the data. The PolicyMap of the Percent of Primary Mortgages that were High Cost Between 2004 and 2007 according to HUD for 2010 for each area indicated the Central Fort Myers and the Gator Circle areas of greatest need are in the highest category; the Fort Myers Villas and West Lehigh Acres areas of greatest need are in the second highest category for the data. The Policy Map of the Estimated Number of Foreclosure Starts According to HUD as of 2010 for each area indicated that the Central Fort Myers area of greatest need is in the top two highest categories and the remaining three areas were all in the highest category for the data. Ensuring Continued Affordability: Rental properties shall have restrictive covenants filed with the deed that shall restrict the rent and use of the property for a term that meets or exceeds HOME requirements. For homebuyer assistance programs, a note and mortgage for 15 years will be executed and recorded. Annual verifications will be conducted to ensure that the property is still the primary residence of the homebuyer and rental projects will be monitored annually or otherwise as required. Recaptured funds from assisted properties will be used to conduct further NSP3 eligible activities. Definition of Blighted Structure: Blighted structures are defined in the &ldquolee County Housing Services Manual,&rdquo and for the purposes of both NSP1 and NSP3 funding, a unit is considered blighted when it shows signs of deterioration, is deemed to be unsuitable for rehabilitation, and constitutes a threat to human health, safety, and public welfare. Definition of Affordable Rents: Affordable rents shall be defined as 30 percent of the tenant&rsquos household income not to exceed the Fair Market Rent for the unit size. Housing Rehabilitation/New Construction Standards: The &ldquolee County Housing Services Manual&rdquo details housing rehabilitation standards. In general, rehabilitation shall consist of addressing deteriorated or substandard components. All gut rehabilitation or new construction (i.e., general replacement of the interior of a building that may or may not include changes to structural elements such as flooring system, columns or load bearing interior or exterior walls) of residential buildings up to three stories will be designed to meet the standard for Energy Star Qualified New Homes. All gut rehabilitation or new construction of mid &ndashor high-rise multifamily housing must be designed to meet American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air- Condition Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1-2004, Appendix G plus 20 percent (which is the Energy Star standard for multifamily buildings 2
piloted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.Other rehabilitation (not gut rehabilitation) will meet these standards to the extent applicable to the rehabilitation work undertaken, e.g., replace older obsolete products and appliances (such as windows, doors, lighting, hot water heaters, furnaces, boilers, air conditioning units, refrigerators, clothes washers and dishwashers) with Energy Star-46 labeled products. Additionally, water efficient toilets, showers, and faucets, such as those with the WaterSense label, will be installed. Further, housing will be improved to mitigate the impact of disasters.finally, if not already addressed in the standards described above, properties located in the 100 year floodplain will be brought into compliance with HUD&rsquos Minimum Housing Quality Standards (HQS). The cost of these properties will not exceed 50% of the assessed or appraised value of the structure prior to the improvements being made. Vicinity Hiring: In addition to the provisions of Section 3, projects funded with NSP3 funds will, to the maximum extent feasible, provide for the hiring of employees who reside in the vicinity of funded projects (the areas of greatest need). This provision will be conveyed through targeted advertising, contracts, and bid documents as applicable and verified with recipients during project monitoring. Procedures for Preferences for Affordable Rental Dev.: Lee County has established procedures to create preferences for the development of affordable rental housing for properties assisted with NSP3 funds; properties targeted for rehabilitation have been identified and acquired through the NSP1 program. Lee County will maintain flexibility in property purchase so that additional properties may be acquired for rental development should budgeted funds exceed project costs and as program income received allows.
