REQUEST: Requesting a bill for an ordinance to appropriate $394,441 for the Program Year(PY) 2011 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) ($150,056) and prior years' HOME funds ($244,385) to fund the following activity: Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project- $394,441 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): This appropriation reflects the re-allocation of PY11 HOME funds and prior years' HOME funds from the County of Maui to the County of Hawaii by the State Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC). The HHFDC allocated PY11 HOME funds of$150,056 and prior years' HOME funds of$244,385 to the County of Maui for a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)eligible activity. As the County of Maui was unable to utilize these CHDO funds, HHFDC reviewed the potential use of CHDO funds with the two remaining State Recipients. It was determined that the State Recipient for the County of Hawaii has the capacity to utilize the CHDO funds for eligible activities within the required expenditure deadlines. These funds will be utilized to install a photovoltaic (PV) system in the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project which will consist of 60 one bedroom, one bath units for the elderly located in Hilo, Hawaii. By installing a PV system it will make the project more affordable to the senior's as it will reduce their utility expenses. The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) request that this ordinance be waived from the Finance Committee and proceed directly for Council's review to help expedite expending the funds. $92,199.00 must be expended by August 30, 2014.
