Escambia To Use Federal Funds To Rehabilitate Or Reconstruct Housing In Century
April 6, 2015
An interlocal agreement will allow Escambia County to pass $75,000 federal funding along to the Town of Century to rehabilitate or reconstruct at least one home.
Century is not an “entitlement community” and does not directly receive any U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME funds as Escambia County does. Though Century can apply for funding through the state’s Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant, they are not guaranteed funding through that application. Funding through the state program was last received by Century in 2012.
Due to the needs in Century, Escambia County has sporadically funded HOME projects in Century since 1994.
Century will handle client applications and construction management for the homeowner(s) who will receive housing repair assistance through the agreement and will contribute some funds toward the project. Theproject will allow for substantial rehabilitation of at least one home or complete reconstruction. The assistance will be secured against the property in the form of a low interest loan, deferred payment loan and/or deferred payment grant based on the age and income of the homeowner. The Century project gives preference to a very low income homeowner.
The Escambia County Commission will vote on the agreement at their April 9 meeting.
