Ulster County approves $660,000 contract with Repco for housing rehabilitation
Summary
The legislature approved Resolution No. 93 to contract with Repco Inc. for a $660,000 federally funded housing rehabilitation program expected to assist roughly 28 households; staff said the program targets low- and moderate-income owner-occupied single-family homes.
The Ulster County Legislature approved Resolution No. 93 on March 18 authorizing a $660,000 contract with Repco Inc. for a housing rehabilitation program targeting owner-occupied, low- and moderate-income single-family homes.
The resolution allocates $660,000 in federal funds for housing rehabilitation work that staff said will prioritize occupied single-family homes and is expected to assist about 28 households (the presenter said 28 households and 22 people during the meeting). The program was described as entirely federally funded.
Why it matters: The contract would provide repair and rehabilitation assistance to income-qualified homeowners, with a defined scope that staff said targets single-family owner-occupied units. During the meeting staff confirmed the expected household count and federal funding source.
Motion and outcome: A motion to approve was made and seconded; the chair called the ayes and the resolution carried.
Implementation notes: Staff said the contract would proceed under federal program rules and that applicable lien or recapture provisions used in prior county housing programs could apply. Specific operational details (for example, the exact household list and project schedules) were not read into the public transcript and are to be administered by county housing staff and the contractor.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contract awards, begin intake and work scheduling with Repco Inc., and administer the federal funds in accordance with program requirements.
