Commission hears update on affordable workforce housing; two more approved applications needed to proceed
Summary
Staff reported the county needs two additional approved applications to proceed with a workforce housing project; applicants must meet USDA loan requirements and a 640 'fast track' credit threshold was discussed.
Daggett County commissioners received an update on a planned affordable workforce housing project and were told the county needs two more approved applications to move forward.
Staff said there are many applicants, but a minimum credit requirement tied to USDA loan eligibility is limiting the number of applicants who can be approved for the program’s fast-track. The meeting record noted a 640 credit-score threshold for the fast-track process and that staff have contacted potential applicants across the county to identify qualifying households.
Commissioners asked staff to continue outreach to identify eligible applicants. No formal vote or funding decision was taken at the meeting; staff said they would continue to recruit and review applications to meet the threshold needed for the project to proceed.
