Sheffield agrees to pursue up to $800,000 housing rehab grant, pledges $20,000 local match
Summary
The board voted 5-0 to participate in an NCICG housing rehabilitation program, committing $20,000 of Village funds to improve the Village's chances of securing up to $800,000 to rehab 8—12 homes focusing on health and safety.
The Village of Sheffield Board approved participation in an NCICG housing rehabilitation grant program and committed $20,000 of village funds to strengthen the application. Connie Buchanan, the NCICG representative, told trustees the program could provide up to $800,000 to rehabilitate roughly 8–12 homes with an emphasis on health and safety; participation requires a village survey, an NCICG assessment and a future public hearing, and Buchanan said resident turnout would be a key qualification factor.
Trustee Price moved to approve participation and the $20,000 pledge; Trustee DeVoss seconded the motion. On roll call the vote was AYES: Adams, Corwin, DeVoss, Price, Taylor; NAYS: none; ABSENT: Barry. The motion carried 5-0.
Board materials did not specify which homes or neighborhoods would be targeted; staff will coordinate the survey and schedule the public hearing required by NCICG as the application process progresses.
