Summary

The council approved moving the city's 2023 HOME award ($184,712) from the Sunset Duplexes project to Habitat for Humanity's Rogers Road project to concentrate federal compliance on the shovel-ready project and speed construction.

Longmont city staff asked the council to approve a swap of a 2023 HOME Program award, shifting $184,712 from the Sunset Duplexes project to Habitat for Humanity's Rogers Road development because Rogers Road is further along in entitlements and ready to start construction.

"The award amount will stay the same at that 184,712, but the Rogers Road project is further along in entitlements," Housing Investment Manager Christy Wiseman said, explaining that consolidating federal funding on one project simplifies HUD compliance and monitoring.

Council members asked whether the Sunset Duplexes project would be left short and whether additional funding requests might be needed; Wiseman said Sunset Duplexes is behind in development planning and Habitat initiated the swap to improve efficiency. Council moved and approved the amended HOME allocation unanimously.

Staff said the swap avoids duplicative HOME compliance for two concurrent projects and reduces the risk of delaying a shovel-ready project. If Habitat later seeks supplemental funding for Sunset Duplexes, the council will consider those requests through regular funding rounds.
