Background and Discussion:
Providence Place is a sixty (60) home single-family development initiative funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (“HUD”) program, Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (“CDBG-DR”). This project is the first of three single-family home initiatives the County is developing to fulfill key recovery objectives following Hurricane Harvey. A leading objective is to increase the supply of decent, safe, affordable housing.
Expected Impact:
Funds will be used to establish the HOA for the initial development period as described in backup.
Alternative Options:
If these homes are not constructed for the SFNC program, HCD will be less able to provide affordable newly constructed homes to LMI homebuyers that were directly or indirectly impacted by Hurricane Harvey and face financial challenges to become a homeowner.
