Work Plan: A. The single program activity planned is the operation of a 36-bed shelter for homeless men in Dover. This application is for operating costs such as utilities and supplies that are essential for shelter operations. Approximately 150 homeless men are served in the shelter each year, with 60% or more enabled to obtain employment and local housing. The program is to shelter, feed, and assist homeless men to regain productive and self- reliant lives. . Monthly milestones are the acceptance of ten or more new homeless guests into the shelter and the moving on of an equal number to local housing and employment. This is an ongoing project; therefore, such documentation has been provided. Additional information may be seen on the website: http://doverinterfaithmission.org . The activity conforms with the city’s plan in terms of the project’s contribution to affordable housing that is accessible to those without income, and the shelter’s provision of a suitable living environment and encouragement to contribute to local economic development. F. As noted above, the project contributes to city objectives of affordable and accessible housing for those lacking income, and the creation of employment opportunities that benefit both individual shelter residents and the city’s economic development. G. This project builds on the five years of work done by the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, in which over 800 homeless men have been assisted. Further, it brings resources from state sources to Dover to assist this underserved population, notably those from the Delaware State Housing Authority and the Office of Community Services, Department of Health and Social Services. H. Delaware State Housing Authority: $19,000 in ESG funds and up to $150,000 in Neighborhood Stabilization Act resources. $29,633 from the Office of Community Services. - nie) 5. Each application should also describe the following: A. Describe any efforts to coordinate with businesses regarding the development of the community as it affects low/moderate-income residents of the area. The Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing is in regular contact with the Downtown Dover Partnership, the Downtown Merchants Association, and the Greater Dover Committee, all of whom are supportive of our mission to shelter homeless men, create employment and housing opportunities for them, and enable them to become productive members of our community. DIMH leases its shelter facility from the Downtown Dover Partnership and regularly collaborates on community events. DIMH is an annual beneficiary of the Downtown Merchants Association’s “First Friday” effort. DIMH leadership is in regular contact with the Greater Dover Committee and its business leaders, with whom we are collaborating on long-term plans for affordable housing for low income individuals and families. 6. Have you received a sub-recipient grant from the previous funding year? If yes give the total amount $ 27.500

NCALL continues to make an extremely valuable impact throughout Delaware, despite many obstacles presented by the ongoing economic crisis. Although home values have dropped, recent years have seen greater underwriting criteria, continuing affordability gaps, and a general fear among potential buyers, all of which have kept Delaware’s housing market at a standstill, especially for lower-income households. Fortunately, there are signs of improvement. While underwriting criteria remains stringent, affordability gaps are disappearing-—according to the Delaware Housing Coalition’s most recent “Who Can Afford to Live in Delaware?” report—and the number of home sales is increasing; compared to June 2011, total Delaware home sales in June 2012 were up nearly 18% in New Castle County, nearly 30% in Kent County, and more than 50% in Sussex County, as reported by Trend MLS and the Sussex County Association of Realtors. Furthermore, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce, Americans bought new homes in May 2012 at the fastest pace since April 2010, and confidence among U. S. homebuilders hit a five-year high in July, posting the largest one-month gain in nearly a decade. “We’re sceing a slow uptick in consumer confidence in regard to housing,” said Greg Lingo, CEO of Pennsylvania-based Comell Homes. “This really is the best time in the past 70 years to buy a home.” More recently, a News Journal article said “Delaware’s residential real estate market is showing continued strength . . . posting solid increases in sales and prices in all three counties for the month of November [2012]. Real estate officials say market-ready homes are selling quickly, buyers are gaining some confidence, and the increasing reliability of low interest rates continues to sustain an energy that has been fairly consistent through the year. Compared to the same period of 2011, total homes sold in November were up 8.6% in New Castle County, 15.4% in Kent, and 28.7% in Sussex. Prices also were up across the board, rising 11.7% in New Castle, 9% in Kent, and 7.7% in Sussex, according to the [Sussex County Association of] Realtors group.” On the other hand, the stubborn foreclosure situation in Delaware has been the state’s largest housing crisis in decades—rapidly climbing to a rate of about 6,000 per year (triple what it was prior to the recession) —with every foreclosure negatively affecting family and community stability. New Castle County Executive Paul Clark recently said that Delaware had the country's 10th highest foreclosure rate and jumped to #6 in the nation for 90-day or more delinquencies. This underscores how critical it is for homeowners—BEFORE they buy a home—to be well educated and financially secure, the two best ingredients for long-term success. Indeed, NeighborWorks® America CEO Eilcen Fitzgerald has emphatically stated that “Sustainable homeownership is essential to prevent a repeat of the current housing crisis.”

Page 17

Furthermore, according to the Delaware Housing Coalition’s most recent “Who Can Afford to Live in Delaware?” report, the Fair Market Rent increased by 49% in Kent County between 2000 and 2011, while the county lost 1,619 rental units costing less than $500 per month, a decrease of 61.4% in affordable units, and there was a 1,610% increase (3,816) in units renting for more than $1,000 per month between 2000 and 2008. The cost burden on renter households, especially the extremely poor, is the most serious result of the present rental housing environment, and it is now more important than ever that Kent County households build their financial knowledge and strengthen their own economic conditions. NCALL's programs foster both adequate education about the homeownership process as well as strong financial security. The homeownership education and counseling provided in NCALL’s Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling program prepares families for successful home- ownership in a difficult economy. After a group orientation, counselors begin meeting with new clients one-on-one, providing a full financial analysis and individual counseling on all aspects of the home-buying process. Specifically, households receive help in clearing up credit problems, saving for down payments or security deposits, paying off debts, consolidating bills, instituting a family budget, learning about their housing options, and accessing various down payment and settlement help programs (including attractive 30-year fixed rate mortgage products). When ready to close, NCALL’s clients complete their counseling with a full-day group session that prepares them for all aspects of purchasing a home. Workshop speakers include realtors, current home owners, insurance agents, mortgage officers, attorneys, and home inspectors. NCALL's Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling is an important service during this buyers’ market, helping families to become informed consumers and to achieve an important asset—their first home—which enables them to secure long-term financial stability. Studies show that home- ownership has a positive impact on family and even overall community benefits such as educational achievement, civic participation, health, safety, and property values. In FY2012, NCALL provided Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling to 119 clients from Dover, 32 of whom (18% of the 182 closings overall that were achieved by NCALL’s Homeownership clients that year) were able to purchase their first home. Indeed, Dover is the largest city that NCALL serves, whereby more than $4.4 million in mortgages were leveraged in FY¥2012, at an average mortgage of just under $140,000. NCALL also handles the majority of Dover First Start down payment assistance. NCALL’s Foreclosure Prevention program helps households transfer into more stable mort- gage products, modify existing loans, or overcome hardships to keep their homes. After a group orientation, counselors work individually with clients to access all potential remedies——including the Home Affordable Modification Program, Delaware Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (DEMAP), and the now mandatory Delaware Foreclosure Mediation Program—and diligently communicate with loan servicers. With NCALL’s help, neighborhoods can remain stable; because foreclosure is devastating to all parties—children, seniors, neighborhoods, businesses-—every house saved, every mortgage made affordable, and every hardship overcome is a sound investment. Fewer resources are required to save homes than to help families start over. In addition, when homes are occupied, neighborhoods are better maintained and visually appealing, property values are optimal, and residents feel safer. Also, according to the Kids Count in Delaware/Families Count in Delaware. Fact Book 2009, losing a family home can have a wide array of ill-effects on the emotional and physical health ofa child. A child forced out of their home due to foreclosure can face excessive mobility, which may lead to poorer academic achievement, delinquent behavior, and poor health outcomes. In Delaware, about 4,300 children are being impacted by the foreclosure crisis . . . which, based on 2010 Census figures, translates to approximately 50 children in the City of Dover alone. NCALL is turning things around for these children and their families; since launching our Foreclosure Prevention program five years ago, we have helped save well over 500 homes! Of the 146 positive outcomes in FY2012, 29 (20%) were from Dover, representing more than $4 million in mortgages.

Page 18

Overall, NCALL's Homeownership and Foreclosure Prevention services provide households with education about the entire homeownership process and tools for budgeting so that they can make solid, informed decisions, qualify for affordable mortgage products, and avoid potential crises. Those who are adequately prepared can take advantage of homeownership opportunities; rather than paying rent, an investment in a home leads to equity and net worth that can be used for college, retirement, or other family goals. Subsequently, NCALL’s default and foreclosure prevention assistance helps homeowners to preserve this important investment for the long term. This is especially important, as adequate apartments are hard to find. C. Provide a timetable showing monthly milestones for completion of each activity. NCALL’s Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling programs are both ongoing, year-round programs. The 2013 monthly and overall milestones specific to Dover clients are as follows: Monthly Average Annual Families attending Homeownership orientation workshops 6 75 Families who become Homeownership clients 4 50* Families attending Foreclosure Prevention workshops 6 75 Families who become Foreclosure Prevention clients 3 40* Families who close on their first home 20** Families with positive Foreclosure Prevention outcomes Oe * 50 + 40 = 90 families receiving counseling services ** 20 + 10 = 30 positive outcomes during 12 months At the same time, both Homeownership and Foreclosure Prevention clients regularly meet one- on-one with NCALL’s counselors, who provide a full financial analysis for all clients, review actual credit reports, provide Homeownership clients with personalized guidance on all aspects of the home-buying process, and work in person and via phone, for as long as it takes, to resolve default and/or foreclosure issues for Foreclosure Prevention clients. Separate group orientation workshops for Homeownership and Foreclosure Prevention clients are held monthly in Dover, and NCALL’s Growing Your Money Financial Literacy Training program is available to Homeownership and Foreclosure clients as well. D. Attach drawings, plans or other documentation necessary to describe program activities. N/A E. Describe each activity’s conformance with the goals and objectives of the City’s Consolidated Plan. e Encourage owner-occupied housing in low- to moderate-income areas. — The City, through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, will purchase foreclosed properties, renovate, and sell to qualifying home buyers. > NCALL’s Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling will educate, prepare, and qualify Dover households for homeownership. » NCALL’s Foreclosure Prevention Counseling will help to ensure that Dover homeowners stay in their homes.

Page 19

F. Describe the extent to which the proposed project(s) will address one or more significant priorities identified by the City’s Consolidated Plan. As per the City’s Consolidated Plan: Section VI ACTION PLAN vi.9 Service Delivery and Management —NCALL will provide homeownership counseling directly to low- and moderate-income homebuyers in Dover. In 2013, based on historical data for the two most recent fiscal years (FY2012 and FY2011), NCALL anticipates providing 50 Dover households with Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling and 40 Dover households with Foreclosure Prevention Counseling. Of these numbers, 20 of the Dover Homeownership clients will close on a new home, 12 of whom will be of low to moderate income, and 10 of the Dover Foreclosure households will achieve a positive outcome, 6 of whom also will be of low to moderate income. G. Describe the extent to which the project builds upon previous work or supplements other work that will be funded from other sources. Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling are ongoing programs that address immediate and long-term needs within the City of Dover. Each home saved and first-time homebuyer stabilizes the City of Dover and empowers families to achieve their housing goals. At the same time, each success builds on the many previous successes that NCALL has helped to facilitate. New first-time homebuyers leverage new mortgages and stabilize local property taxes while adding economic impact. Saving a home benefits the family, their neighborhood, the City of Dover, and the lender. H. Describe source and amount of any funds used to leverage the City’s portion of the project. Indicate when these funds will be available. Attach documentation of any match. City of Dover CDBG funds will help to leverage first-time homebuyer mortgages and Dover First Start and other housing assistance for LMI households. City of Dover CDBG funds also will help to save mortgages and leverage foreclosure prevention remedies such as DSHA’s DEMAP program and more affordable loan modifications, While there is no formal match, Pre-Purchase Homeownership Counseling is expected to leverage another $3 million in new mortgages (20 x $150,000), and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling is expected to save $1.5 million in mortgages (10 x $150,000).

RESEARCH. INC. Organizational Background and Purpose The National Council on Agricultural Life and Labor Research Fund, Inc. (NCALL) is a Dover-based organization that was incorporated in 1955. We began providing Housing Development services in 1976, added Homeownership Education and Counseling in 1989; became a Treasury-certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDF1) in 2004, lending for affordable housing and community facilities; launched Financial Literacy Training in 2005; added Default and F oreclosure Prevention Counseling at the end of 2007; and were selected as the Kent County partner for $tand by ME® Financial Coaching in 2012. During this time, NCALL has become a leader in the development of affordable housing and related services in Delaware, helping families statewide to access and sustain homeownership. With an office in each county, we target both urban and rural areas, with an emphasis on low-income households at or below 80% of state median income, and more than 60% of our clients are African American or Hispanic. All participants in NCALL’s programs have housing needs, have financial challenges, have been underserved from a housing perspective, and/or are at risk of being homeless. NCALL is governed by a 15-member, highly skilled and experienced Board of Directors. Each Director brings to the table a variety of expertise that is applicable to NCALL and its programs and clients. In addition to the 15 Board members who serve in a volunteer capacity, NCALL also is fortunate to have another 20-25 volunteers from the local community—including insurance agents, home inspectors, realtors, loan officers, existing homeowners, other nonprofit staff, and attorneys—who regularly make presentations at Homeownership, Financial Literacy, or Foreclosure Prevention workshops. The NCALL staff numbers 27, which includes Homeownership, Financial Literacy/Stand by ME®, and Foreclosure Prevention counselors/coaches; Loan Fund, Housing Development, and Self-Help Housing personnel; and a management team with more than 100 years of combined experience in affordable housing and counseling. Housing Counseling Director Denise Freeman oversees the Homeownership Education and Counseling program (which includes the $tand by ME® Financial Coaching), while Foreclosure Prevention Director Debbie Andrews oversees the Default and Foreclosure Prevention program (which includes the “Growing Your Money” Financial Literacy Training). All counselors are highly qualified, certified, and recognized leaders in their fields. Loan Fund Director Karen Kollias oversees the Loan Fund activities, with assistance from a Loan Fund Manager and a recently added Loan Fund Servicer. Overall management is provided by long-term Executive and Deputy Directors, Joe Myer and Karen Speakman. Since 1976, NCALL’s mission “to promote affordable housing and improved communities for low- and moderate-income people primarily in rural areas” has led to the development and implementation of a number of products, services, and initiatives that have seen substantial results. For example: . Through its development technical services, NCALL has helped to develop or preserve 52 multi-family apartment communities. . Through its pre-purchase homeownership counseling, NCALL has helped more than 7,200 new homebuyers settle on their first homes. This has leveraged nearly $800 million in attractive mortgage financing.

NCALL/page 2 . Through its recent community development lending, the NCALL Loan Fund has originated close to $40 million in 60 loans to 27 organizations yielding over 500 affordable units and nearly 100,000 square feet in community-based facilities space. : NCALL is one of only two statewide providers of Default & Foreclosure Prevention Counseling in Delaware. In just five years—after adding this line of business at the end of 2007, when the demand for foreclosure assistance seemed to surge overnight—NCALL has helped to save more than 500 homes. . Through a contract with the USDA, NCALL has provided technical and management services to self-help housing grantees throughout a 2[-state area since 1983. . Most recently, NCALL is the newest member of the Delaware Financial Empowerment Partnership, joining the $tand by ME® collaborative of United Way and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services as the nonprofit selected in March 2012 to provide financial coaching services at Kent County venues. Coaching already is being provided for 175 employecs at Dover Downs Racetrack and Casino, as well as residents of public housing, and recently began at Delaware Technical and Community College and the Milford State Service Center. $tand by ME*--which is gaining popularity and national exposure and attention—generates new partnerships and collaboration while helping modest-income households achieve financial goals such as opening bank or credit union accounts, improving their credit scores, building savings, effectively budgeting, accessing student loans, and preparing tax returns. NCALL is proud to be a HUD-approved housing counseling agency (since 1994), as well as one of only two NeighborWorks® America (NWA) organizations in Delaware, having maintained an “Exemplary”? NWA rating since being chartered in 2003. HUD says that "NCALL could be used as a HUD Model Agency,” with "professional staff, wonderful facilities, extensive services, and counselors current in their training, well organized, and proficient.” Within the network of 235 NWA organizations, NCALL ranks nationally in the top 5% for both New Ilomebuyers and Counseling and Workshops; top 11% for Homeownership Preser- vation; top 14% for National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling; and top 16% for Direct Investment. In its most recent program review of NCALL (May 2012), NeighborWorks® America lauded NCALL as “a highly efficient, innovative, well-managed organization." (NWA program reviews are conducted every three years, and the 2012 NCALL report is available upon request.) Furthermore, NCALL’s Loan Fund is now a CARS-rated CDFI, with a high AA+2 rating. A service of the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN), CARS (CDFI Assessment and Rating System) is a comprehensive, third-party analysis of CDFIs and their community impact, public policy leadership, and financial strength. Less than 10% of all CDF Is nationwide have undergone a CARS review, and the NCALL rating recognizes our Loan Fund for a “clear alignment of mission, strategies, activities, and data” and “using its resources effectively to benefit its target populations or communities in line with its mission”; for leading “initiatives to change government policy to benefit the community development finance industry or disadvantaged people and communities”; and for exhibiting “solid financial strength, performance, and risk management practices” with “challenges well within the board of directors’ and management’s capabilities.” The CARS analysis rates NCALL and our lending component every three years, with annual desk reviews in the interim, and the CARS 2011 and 2012 reviews found NCALL’s Loan Fund “stable” for Impact Performance and “stable with improving trends” in Financial Strength/Performance. The next full, on-site review will take place May 2013.

Kopp Executive Director Wesley Anderson Head of Maintenance B. Attach resumes or other supporting documentation for the personnel of new applicants, which establishes the capacity of the personnel above to effectively manage a CDBG sub-recipient project. (Resumes only need to be submitted if new personnel will be managing the grant). 4. Application Work Plan Each proposed program activity must address each of the following areas through fiscal year 2014. Items C thru H will only need to be completed for the current fiscal year. Attach a mission statement and purpose of your organization. The Murphey School is requesting funding through this grant proposal to assist us in housing children in our 501(c)3 organization. Children living within our homes have no other home where they may live and are considered homeless under the protection of the McKinney- Vento Act. Each child dependent on our care is provided with a private bedroom. The rehabilitation is essential to the total operation and our ability to provided more housing and long-term care for a 100% low-income population of abandoned, and therefore, homeless children. The following page will describe the project through the components of the work plan as described in the grant application details. A. During the past several years of economic downturn, we have needed to examine a more efficient way to continue to serve the children we protect. Heating costs and the energy required for even moderate air conditioning has severely impacted our ability to serve the same number of these children. Total campus conversion to geothermal heating is crucial to our financial stability. Because of the success with our first six geothermal projects through the help from the Longwood Foundation and The Welfare Foundation, we had six of our nine buildings converted. With the assistance from the CDBG, we were able to complete building seven. The typical demographics of the 38 children in our care would include 100% very low-income individuals, all of whom qualify for Medicare and food stamp programs. On any given day, we serve a group of 55% non-white and 45% Caucasian children in residential care. The community children we work with typically represent a similar breakdown.

Page 27

B. This year, from money from rebates from our first geothermal projects, we were able to complete our final two buildings with geothermal conversions. In order to best conserve energy for these systems, we will need to continue replacing 90 year old single-pane windows. Through other grant providers, we have completed five of our nine buildings. It is proposed that this year’s CDBG funds be used to help replace 49 windows in our largest building. We plan to leverage grant funds from the Delaware Community Foundation and Crystal Trust to begin this project. The combined improvement in buildings equipped with both geothermal systems and new, e-glass windows has had a huge effect on our total HVAC expenses. Our largest building has oversized windows and also our greatest energy loss. Cc. In order to prepare for this project, we have had contractors and Regional Window Company Representatives here, on site, to discuss our best options. We have also gotten permission from the City of Dover to replace one of the seriously deteriorated windows. (They gave us some specific guidelines that led to the supplier and contractor needed to do this work). In order to have the windows look exactly like the current windows, each needs to be specially made. There is only one company that makes such windows in this region. The project can begin upon notice of this grant approval. The proposed contractor will begin with a City of Dover permit. After the contracts are signed, the company representatives will personally measure each window to be replaced. After all measurements are taken, delivery of the first windows will occur in six to eight weeks. The local contractor will begin the replacement upon arrival of the windows. Each of the largest windows will take about three days. The total project will advance as quickly as weather allows, with the total project to be competed before spring of 2014. D. Pictures from the supplier have been included at the end of this packet.

E. This portion of our requested project conforms to the City of Dover’s Consolidated Plan in several areas: 1) Foster children by state standards and through the McKinney-Vento Federal regulation are considered to be homeless. They often have difficultly transitioning into the “real” world once their placements end, sometimes even ending up homeless or in shelters. Our program specifically works to teach our children skills to allow them to live independently. It helps preserve existing housing within the city. This building has been in place since circa 1923. It is a steel and red brick structure that has a long, useful life. It... 2) provides care opportunities to a racially diverse group. 3) provides for safe and affordable care for a population in need. 4) is structurally sound and has a long useful life. 5) offers program services to low-income individuals and it provides economic opportunities for local companies. F, According to the City’s Consolidated Plan, housing for low- income individual and programs for youth carry a level of medium priority. G. This project in is direct line with a targeted plan to get our entire campus energy independent. We intend to have all nine of our buildings fitted with geothermal HVAC systems and eliminate our 90 year old single-pane, energy-costly windows. H. Use of CDBG funds will be leveraged with funding from the Delaware Community Foundation ($24,000) and some of the remaining funds from rebates from the geothermal work on our last three buildings. ($16,000). We also have a grant request prepared for the Crystal Trust. ($20,000).

Dover, Delaware 19901 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities, and net assets - cash basis of Elizabeth W. Murphey School, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of revenue, expenses, and changes in net assets - cash basis for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our piespomeibaty 3 is to Sxpesse an opinion ¢ on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in ae with h auditing standards generally ‘accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in the notes, the Organization prepares its financial statements on the cash basis of accounting except that the statements include a provision for depreciation of buildings and equipment. This basis is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities and net assets - cash basis of Elizabeth W. Murphey School, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and its revenue and expenses, and the changes in net assets — cash basis for the years then ended in conformity with the basis of accounting described in the notes to the financial statements. ibook € Qassecativ, PA.

Program activities must be listed in order of priority with the program activity of highest priority first. This order of priority for program activities must be followed on all forms contained in this application. ¢ The highest priority for this project is to provide rehabilitation activities and specifically, emergency-related home repairs of single- family residential for owner-occupied housing units found to be in violation of the City of Dover’s Housing Code. This is the highest priority activity for this application. Each program activity must be fully described. For rehabilitation programs, this description must include the number of units to be rehabilitated, rental properties to be rehabilitated, any special population groups the rehabilitation program will address, the target area, and the need for the rehabilitation activity. e Program activity is ‘Rehabilitation: Emergency-related home repairs of single-family residential for owner-occupancy’. This activity is fully described as home repairs that eliminate housing conditions which threaten the health and/or safety of qualified City of Dover homeowners. The objective is to reduce the number of City of Dover

Page 58

households living in substandard and/or dangerous housing conditions. The goal of the activity is to preserve the City’s existing housing stock, as detailed in Dover’s Consolidated Annual Action Plan (FY2012). e The total number of units to be rehabilitated/repaired is 15 minimum, per year of grant funding period. Total number of units to be repaired during all three years of the grant period is 45. © Households must be very-low to low-income as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Households served must be 50 percent and below Area Median Income (AMI) as defined by HUD. e Housing type is homeownership units. Clients must provide proof that they own the home in order to qualify for repairs. e Target area is defined as the geographic city limits for the City of Dover. The project is city-wide and will focus on preserving the existing housing stock in the City. e Repairs traditionally average $2,500 per home, with low points around $500 and higher points costing roughly $7,500 for more substantial repairs such as roof repairs or hot water heaters. e The need for home repairs is based on: 1) Overwhelming demand for such services as received daily from the City of Dover by residents; 2) Rising numbers of cost-burdened households, as it relates to housing costs; and 3) Rising number of elderly residents and persons with disabilities facing diverse and critical housing needs. Sources include: City of Dover and the Delaware State Housing Authority. e As Delaware’s housing stock has continued to age, along with an aging population, home maintenance and repair is a growing concern. HRP is the only program in Delaware that provides this service at no cost to the individual. Further, it is one of the few programs in Delaware that also works on mobile homes. Mobile homes are technically classified as a motor vehicle, but represent nearly 10 percent of all housing units in Delaware (DSHA, 2012). In 22 years, over 3,500 families in Delaware have been helped through HRP with volunteers donating over 150,000 hours of labor to the cause. In addition, HRP utilizes Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) trainees to help complete the repairs in both Kent and Sussex Counties. Provide a timetable showing monthly milestones for completion of each activity. e Within each fiscal year of this application, MHDC expects to complete a minimum of 15 home repairs for qualified City of Dover

Page 59

homeowners who are very-low to low-income. MHDC expects to complete 4-5 repairs per quarter, each year. The repair activities will be focused on eliminating conditions of an immediate health or safety hazard to the homes’ occupants. Over the years, typical repairs included: replacement of furnaces, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, construction of entrance steps and wheelchair ramps, modifying bathrooms for safety and accessibility, replacement of broken windows, roof repairs or replacements, and the installation of hardwired smoke/co detectors. Repair activities will meet City of Dover code regulations. Contractors will complete code-work and skilled volunteers may be enlisted to complete carpentry type repairs. Attach drawings, plans or other documentation necessary to describe program activities. N/A Describe each activity’s conformance with the goals and objectives of the City’s Consolidated Plan. Activities carried out support the overall goals of the City of Dover’s Consolidated Plan and its priorities on housing issues.

Suitable Living Environment Decent Housing xX Economic Opportunity Please choose the best option that will describe the outcome of your activity based on the categories listed below. Availability/Accessibility _ xX Affordability Sustainability Please provide a proposed outcome based on the information below that applies to your activity MHDC’s Home Repair Project defines the projected outcome as the removal ofa housing condition that qualifies as hazardous or unhealthy and is in immediate need. During each fiscal year of the grant funding period, MHDC will complete a minimum of 15 home repairs for very-low to low-income households within Dover city limits. In sum, the Home Repair Project’s goal is to complete a minimum of 260 emergency home repairs throughout the state of Delaware. MHDC is requesting that a maximum cap of $7,500 be used for home repairs. Most homeowners do not need this full amount of funding, but on occasion the homeowner may need a new roof or furnace which cost more than the $5,000 per home the Project had been using in the past with City of Dover CBDG. The repair activities will be focused on eliminating conditions of an immediate health or safety hazard to the homes’ occupants. Over the years, typical repairs included: replacement of furnaces, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, construction of entrance steps and wheelchair ramps, modifying bathrooms for safety and accessibility, replacement of broken windows, roof repairs or replacements, and the installation of hardwired smoke/co detectors. If granted, MHDC’s Home Repair Project will complete at least 15 home repairs, 100% of those units will meet the City of Dover’s Housing Code, 100% of repaired units will have immediate threats to safety and/or health eliminated, and no homeowner served will be forced to relocate. Indicators for measurement include: Housing inspections, Certificates of Occupancy, client satisfaction surveys, client case files, interviews, program budget, financial records, organization records and program records.
