Troy committee backs CHIP partnership with Miami County, Piqua to fund home repairs
Summary
The Community Partnerships Committee recommended the City Council authorize the director of public service and safety to sign a CHIP partnership agreement with Miami County and the City of Piqua to strengthen applications for owner-occupied housing repairs for low- to moderate-income residents; funds, if awarded, must be used by the end of 2027.
The Community Partnerships Committee on May 12 recommended that the City Council authorize the director of public service and safety to sign a CHIP partnership agreement with Miami County and the City of Piqua to apply for funding for owner-occupied housing repairs for low- to moderate-income residents.
Mr. Davis, a city staff member who presented the item, said the city has partnered with Miami County’s CHIP program for more than 25 years and entered similar agreements in 2017, 2020 and 2023. “All those contracts, it's a formal agreement that would improve owner occupied housing stock for low to income, low to moderate income individuals,” he said, adding that joint applications receive more points from the state and strengthen the city’s chances for funding.
Under the agreement discussed, funds awarded would need to be spent by the end of 2027. Mr. Davis told the committee that in the last round the city had five properties that have been or will be repaired through the program. Committee members asked no substantive questions and the panel agreed to move forward with the recommendation to council.
The committee’s action was a recommendation to City Council; no formal roll-call vote on a council authorization was recorded in the committee transcript. The committee discussion focused on the application-strengthening benefit of partnering with Miami County and Piqua and on the program’s recent track record in Troy.
