Board approves CDBG application to rehabilitate five homes in Lampkin Ford; $1.01 million request to DHCD
Summary
The board authorized a $1,009,778 Community Development Block Grant application to rehabilitate or replace five homes in Lampkin Ford and adopted necessary federal assurances.
Jerry Davis, presenting for county planning staff, told the Board of Supervisors that a planning grant and subsequent housing assessment identified a small cluster of substandard units in the Lampkin Ford area that meet CDBG program priorities.
Davis said the management team and community outreach indicated local interest and that staff had completed preliminary inspections. The recommended project would address five dwellings: two would be rehabilitated, three would be replaced, and two additional units would be demolished. Davis said the project budget is $1,009,778 and that 16 low- and moderate-income residents would benefit.
The board opened a required public hearing; no members of the public signed up to speak. The supervisors then voted to authorize submission of the CDBG application to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development and adopted the federal assurances required for a federal CDBG application. The adopted application includes an in-kind match: waiver of building permit fees for the work identified in the resolution.
Ending: Staff will submit the application to DHCD and said they would return with further procurement and implementation steps if the grant is awarded.
