ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Community Development DATE SUBMITTED: 9/20/11 PREPARED BY: Tracey Harvey, Community Development Manager SUBJECT: Neighborhood Stabilization Partnership (NSP) partnership with Habitat for Humanity REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: Ann Marie Townshend, Director of Planning & Community Development EXHIBITS: N/A EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): TIME TIMETABLE: Pending Council approval, develop a Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Dover and Habitat for Humanity. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council approval of the NSP partnership between the City and Habitat for Humanity. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Community Development office is requesting a NSP partnership with Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity due to Dover Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners decision to decrease participation in the NSP program as part of their plan to restore financial viability. Habitat will be a great asset to the city’s NSP program with the success they have in providing homeownership to persons that are low income due to the affordability of the homes and very low monthly mortgage payments that are less than rent for a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. Habitat has an excellent track record in providing homeownership in the city with 14 houses built in the city and the most recent renovation of 101 Jefferson Court that was a troubled home in the city for many years until Habitat purchased the property, renovated the property and sold it to a low income family that was living in a shelter. There is approximately $205,000 left in the line of credit for Habitat to purchase and renovate a property in order to sell to a qualifying family. The criteria in the selection process is very structured in order for a family to qualify for a home, and have provided permanent homeownership solutions to over 100 adults and children throughout Kent County.
