Summary
The Lafayette Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity will receive up to $80,000 in prior-year funds to support construction and homebuyer assistance for a new energy-efficient house at 1412 Morton Street; the board approved the agreement by voice vote.
The Lafayette City board approved an agreement between the Lafayette Housing consortium and Habitat for Humanity to authorize up to $80,000 in funding to support construction and direct homebuyer assistance for a new house at 1412 Morton Street.
Michelle Reynolds of the Lafayette Housing Authority presented the agreement and said the funding will be drawn from prior-year (2022 and 2023) Habitat funds being reallocated as the authority begins its 2025 funding cycle. Reynolds said the project will produce a newly constructed, energy-efficient home for a qualified homebuyer and contribute to the city’s affordable housing goals.
The Chair called for a motion to approve the Habitat project funding for project number 1 at 1412 Morton Street; the motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record did not include additional detail about the identity of the eventual homebuyer or a timetable for completion beyond the general 2025 funding reference.
