Affordable Housing & Grant Close-Out Management Plan

The City participated in both NSP-1 (B-08-MN-29-0001) and NSP-3 (B-11MN-29-0001). Total NSP (1 & 3) funds awarded was $9,147,622.00. During the initial NSP period (2009-2018), $11,702,466.15 was expended to the benefit of sixty-four LMI homebuyers, plus the demolition of Horace Mann School, a fire damaged dangerous building, and the eventual completion of six duplex structures (12 units) on the development site which were all sold to eligible homebuyers.

During the period from February 23rd through March 1, 2018, HUD conducted a monitoring visit and reviewed the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). On May 1st, 2018, HUD responded with its Monitoring Report on certain aspects of each program.

On May 31, 2018, the City responded to HUD’s review, concerns, and findings.

This management plan describes the Final Production Phase for the development of affordable housing and use of remaining NSP funds, the Close-Out Phase, and On-going Actions.

Quarterly Reports

Verification of Continued Affordability

The City will mail annual residency verification requests to verify continued affordability.  All “Return to Sender” requests received from the annual NSP homes residency verification mailings will prompt a review in the Jackson County Records and via the City’s Water Service Department records to verify occupancy.

Close-Out Phase

Estimated Close-Out Date

Although HUD has expressed a goal of closing out all NSP grants by the end of September 2018, it is not possible for the City to utilize the balance of funds and close-out the grants by that date. To assist in this process the City has requested DRGR Technical Assistance.
