[a. Consideration and action on request from Melanie Cooper, Grant Manager, on applying to the Amy Young Barrier Removal Program (AYBRP), Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA), and Homeowner Rehabilitation Assistance (HRA), three County-wide programs available under the Home Grant Program. This was tabled from April 28, 2025 Commissioners Court Agenda. Once brought back to table, need to replace "Rehabilitation" with "Reconstruction" for the HRA item.]

REQUEST FROM MELANIE COOPER, GRANT MANAGER, ON APPLYING TO THE AMY YOUNG BARRIER REMOVAL PROGRAM. A Y P A TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE WITH HOMEOWNER REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE. HRA RE COUNTYWIDE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS HOME GRANT. OKAY. THIS ITEM WAS TABLED AT THE APRIL 28TH MEETING, SO WE NEED TO HAVE A MOTION TO BRING IT BACK ON THE TABLE. AND ONCE IT'S

[00:15:05]

BACK ON THE TABLE, WE NEED TO CHANGE REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE TO RECONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE FOR THE HRA ITEM TO BRING IT BACK TO THE TABLE AGAIN. OKAY, I GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GILLESPIE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER YARDLEY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. SO NOW ITEM 2.4 A IS BACK ON THE TABLE WITH THE CHANGE OF REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE TO RECONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE. YES.

THANK YOU. THEY NO LONGER DO REHABILITATION. THEY ONLY DO RECONSTRUCTION IN THESE PROGRAMS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROGRAM FOR A WHILE. IF YOU GO BACK TO LAST YEAR OF MARCH OF 2024, WE STARTED LOOKING INTO THE PROGRAM AND WORKING WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR.

I'VE ATTACHED THE COST THERE, AND I JUST WANTED TO BE UPFRONT WITH THE COURT AND LET THE COURT KNOW. WE DID DISCUSS PREVIOUSLY A MATCH OF 22,000 PER HOME IN THE LAST LAST YEAR. LOOKING AT THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE COST COULD EXCEED THAT. SO I JUST I WANTED TO MAKE THE COURT AWARE AND THE COURT WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD. WE CAN MOVE FORWARD FROM THIS. THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME ADMINISTRATION FROM OUTSIDE SERVICES, AND IT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE PROCESSED THROUGH OUR OFFICE. THAT MEANS INTAKE OF APPLICATIONS AND DEALING WITH RESIDENTS. SO IT'S A IT'S A LOT OF ADMINISTRATION THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO IT. YOU GET ADMINISTRATION BACK FROM THE PROGRAM. BUT IN LOOKING AT IT, MY CONCERN IS IT'S NOT GOING TO COVER THE FULL COST OF ADMINISTRATION. PLUS THERE WILL BE 80,000. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP IN RESERVE TO RUN THIS PROGRAM ONCE IT GETS GOING. THAT IS REIMBURSABLE AND SOME OF THE ADMINISTRATION COSTS ARE REIMBURSABLE. BUT IN LOOKING AT IT AND WITHIN THE RESEARCH, THE COST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH ABOUT 150 TO 200,000 IN THERE. AND I JUST WANTED TO LET THE COUNTY KNOW THAT UP FRONT, WITH THE ACTUAL COST TO THE COUNTY BEING, YOU KNOW, JUST TO GET THE PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING. AND THIS IS AN ESTIMATE, THIS IS BRIEF BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK ONCE WE GET STARTED, BUT IT COULD BE A COST UP TO THE COUNTY UP TO $70,000.

SO I WANT TO BE UPFRONT WITH THE COURT AS WE MOVE THIS FORWARD. IF THE COURT WISHES TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD ON THIS PROGRAM, I WILL PRESENT SOME RESOLUTIONS NEXT WEEK AND WE CAN DO THE APPLICATIONS. BUT I DID WANT TO INFORM YOU OF THE POTENTIAL COST WE'RE LOOKING AT IN GETTING THIS UP AND RUNNING. ANY QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. AND MAYBE YOU TOLD US THIS BEFORE AND I'VE FORGOTTEN OR SLEPT OR WHATEVER. WHAT WHAT BARRIERS ARE WE REMOVING WITH THIS PROGRAM? THE AMY. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR ON THAT, AMY, BURIAL REMOVAL PROGRAM IS A STATE PROGRAM. AND WHAT IT DOES COME IN DO IF YOU ARE DISABLED, IT WILL HELP GET REIMBURSEMENT TO YOUR HOME AND CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THAT FOR RESIDENTS TO MAKE THEIR HOME A, I GUESS, ADA COMPLIANT WHERE THEY CAN GET AROUND WITHIN THEIR HOME PROGRAM AS WELL, SO THAT THAT ONE WILL SET UP FOR THE DISABLED AND PROVIDE RAMPS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED. AND I DO WANT TO SAY THERE'S HIGH INTEREST IN THESE PROGRAMS FROM THE RESIDENTS. I RECEIVE A LOT OF CALLS, SO THERE IS HIGH INTEREST, BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE A COST TO COUNTY. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE AWARE OF THAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. DO THE COSTS INCLUDE YOUR TIME AND YOUR STAFF'S TIME AND ANSWERING THE PHONE CALLS, TAKING IN APPLICATIONS AND ALL THAT STUFF. AS FAR AS MONEY GOES, YES, I DID INCLUDE THAT IN WHAT I, WHAT I DID PUT FORTH TO THE COURT TODAY. THAT WOULD BE PART OF IT.

AND THEN WE ALSO WE'D HAVE TO MONITOR OUR ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT AS WELL BECAUSE THAT IS BY THE HOUR. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE ONLY USE THE SLMS AS NEEDED BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO.

WE DON'T WANT TO OVERRUN THOSE COSTS AND HAVE HALF OF A PROGRAM ADMINISTERED. OKAY, SO AS I WAS READING THIS, I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH MONEY THE COST OF COUNTY. AND I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED THAT. AND THEN I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY HOMES WE WERE HELPING. SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT UNDER EACH ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS IF I'M READING THIS RIGHT. SO THE AMY YOUNG BARRIER REMOVAL PROGRAM SAYS APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOUSEHOLDS, THAT THAT IS AN ESTIMATE THAT IMPACT PUT TOGETHER FOR THE COUNTY. IN MY RESEARCH, I FIND THERE'S SOME OTHER MATCH REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THAT. THAT IS IN THE TOTAL I GAVE THE COUNTY AS FAR AS THAT GOES, THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY THEM. THAT IS THEIR ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY HOMES WE WILL SERVE. BUT YOU CANNOT I CANNOT GIVE YOU AN AFFIRMATIVE OF HOW MANY HOMES WILL SERVE, BECAUSE EACH APPLICATION HAS TO BE SENT UP AND APPROVED BEFOREHAND. SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING WHERE WE RECEIVE ALL THE MONEY AND THEN WE GO TO THE PROGRAM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL PUT IN APPLICATION BY APPLICATION, AND IF THERE'S FUNDING AVAILABLE, THEY WILL APPROVE IT AND PROVIDE THE FUNDING AND WE MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. SO THERE IS NOT A THERE'S AN ESTIMATE, BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A TOTAL AND NOT GUARANTEED.

RIGHT. AND THE SAME THING FOR THE TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS ESTIMATED IMPACT 14 TO 23 HOUSEHOLDS DEPENDING ON RENT LEVEL. SO RIGHT. AND THE HOMEOWNER REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE LOOKS LIKE FOR ESTIMATED AS WELL OR RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. SO ONCE

[00:20:02]

THIS IS APPROVED THEN PEOPLE HAVE TO APPLY. ONCE THIS IS APPROVED, THE WAY WE WILL MOVE FORWARD IS I WILL ON THE NEXT AGENDA, WE'LL PASS THE RESOLUTIONS TO APPLY FOR THE PROGRAMS WITH WITH SOME OF THOSE COSTS, AS WE DISCUSSED TODAY IN THOSE RESOLUTIONS, WE WILL FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND THEN WE SHOULD RECEIVE INFORMATION BACK FROM THE STATE. I BELIEVE THESE ARE MOVING FORWARD AS TO WHETHER THESE MOVE FORWARD FAIRLY QUICKLY. AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN APPLICATIONS WILL BE OPEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND WE WILL PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION. SINCE WE'VE HAD SO MUCH PUBLIC INTEREST IN THIS, I DO BELIEVE WE SHOULD ISSUE A PRESS RELEASE AND LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW HOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, JUST SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THE PROGRAM.

AND THEN THEY WOULD COME INTO THE OFFICE AND APPLY AS THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PROGRAM, AND WE WOULD SUBMIT THOSE APPLICATIONS UP TO THE STATE. IF IT IS APPROVED, IT WILL COME BACK AND WE'LL HAVE FUNDING FOR THAT. THAT HOME OR IMPROVEMENT. IF YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE OUT OF FUNDS, THEY WON'T GET APPROVED. MAYBE THEY'LL PUT IT ON THE NEXT. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO GET APPROVED AND WHAT'S NOT. BUT IT'S PER APPLICATION. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS TO APPLY TO THESE VARIOUS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. GOT A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GILLESPIE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MISS COOPER? EXCUSE ME. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE? AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WE SPENT 15, $20,000 TO GET LIGHTS REPLACED. WE'VE HAD THIS IN CONTRACT FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

IT'S BEEN A BLESSING BECAUSE IT'S IF IT GOES OUT, THEY COME FIX IT. IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING
