HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS(HOME)PROGRAM The State of Hawai'i is required to submit its 2014 Action Plan to HUD for the HOME program. In 2012 the State implemented a new method in allocating the HOME program funds. The HOME program funds were allocated on a three year rotation basis beginning with Hawai'i County followed by Kauai County and Maui County. The designated County will receive the entire allocation of HOME funding, less 2.5% of the allowable administrative funding which will be retained by the State's Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) to cover program administrative expenses (approximately$75,000). Since the County of Hawai'i received the full allocation of approximately$2,925,000.00 for the 2012 HOME program we will not receive any HOME funds until 2015. Because the County of Hawai i is not receiving any HOME funds for 2014 the County has not requested project proposals. The County of Hawai'i anticipates receiving $25,000.00 of. program income. Should the County of Hawai'i receive any program income or if there are any cancelled or reprogramming of HOME funds it will be applied to the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program, the Na Kahua Hale 0 Ulu Wini Project or the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project. OBJECTIVE/OUTCOME: The 2014 CDBG projects meet.the Objectives and Outcomes which are identified in the County's Consolidated Plan. The housing projects meet the affordable housing objective by creating new affordable housing and sustaining existing housing through land acquisition, renovation and repair. The public facility projects meet the suitable living environment objective by developing site and infrastructure improvements for an adult day care center, by acquiring a Midland brush truck for a rural fire station and removing architectural barriers. EVALUATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE: The County developed its Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) and submitted the report to HUD on September 25, 2013.
