Commissioners adopt ESFR assistance and procurement policies to resume housing rehabilitation program
Summary
Greene County approved two 2024 policies to participate in the Essential Single-Family Rehabilitation (ESFR) loan pool funded by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency; county staff said the program previously assisted about 31 units in earlier cycles.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt two policies that will allow the county to participate in the 2024 Essential Single-Family Rehabilitation (ESFR) loan pool, a program funded through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency.
AJ Mandigo of McDavid Associates presented the draft assistance and procurement policies, saying they are “roughly equivalent to the group policies in 2021” and that Greene County has facilitated ESFR in past cycles (2017, 2018 and 2021). Mandigo said the county has assisted about 31 housing units previously and that the 2024 policies had been reviewed by senior officers at the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency.
After Mandigo’s presentation staff asked for a motion to approve both the assistance policy and the procurement policy. A commissioner moved to approve, the motion was seconded and the board approved both policies by voice vote.
The policies authorize Greene County to participate in state-administered ESFR funding. The board did not discuss dollar amounts for the county’s share or specific household eligibility details in the meeting record; those specifics will be set by the county program procedures consistent with the approved policies and the Housing Finance Agency’s requirements.
