Claiborne County commission authorizes $500,000 HOME grant application for low-income housing rehab
Summary
The Claiborne County Commission authorized the county mayor to apply for $500,000 in 2019 HOME funds through the Tennessee Housing Development Agency to fund housing rehabilitation for low-income residents; the resolution specifies no county match and authorizes county officials to sign necessary documents.
The Claiborne County Commission on Jan. 28 authorized County Mayor Joe Brooks to file a 2019 HOME Program application with the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) seeking $500,000 to support housing rehabilitation for low-income residents.
The resolution, sponsored in the meeting record by Commissioner Sherry McCreary, says the funds would be administered by Tennessee's Community Assistance Corporation and that there is no county funds match requirement. The motion passed by voice vote during the meeting and was entered as Resolution 2019-008.
Commissioners said the program would serve residents across Claiborne County, including those in the county's municipalities. The resolution directed the mayor to sign any documents, contracts, assurances and compliance forms needed to submit the application.
Next steps are administrative: the county will complete the THDA application and, if awarded, work with the Community Assistance Corporation on program administration and implementation details. The resolution does not specify precise eligibility rules, project timelines or when work would begin; those details would be determined through the THDA application and grant administration process.
