Title

Housing Repair Programs Update

 

Purpose

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:

In May, the Community Development Department (CDD) and the Hampton Redevelopment & Housing Authority (HRHA) shared an overview of how the City of Hampton supports a variety of local programs to stabilize, adapt, and encourage reinvestment in an older stock of housing across the city through federal, state, and capital funds. The CDD and HRHA shared local reinvestment strategies, housing repair programs, processes for applicants, current funding for repair programs, current challenges, and proposed changes and considerations.

 

The CDD and HRHA will provide an update on proposed process improvements to address critical repair needs of households on the current housing rehabilitation assistance wait list in a more expedited fashion.

 

Discussion:

 

The Community Development Department and the Hampton Redevelopment & Housing Authority will receive guidance on the proposed expedited process.

 

Impact:

 

Policies discussed will impact the implementation of current housing programs and provide guidance for future housing reinvestment strategies.

 

Recommendation:

Rec

None
