REQUEST: Requesting a bill for an ordinance to appropriate $452,684 for the Program Year(PY) 2014 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to fund the following activity: Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project, Phase II - $452,684 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): This appropriation reflects the re-allocation of PY14 HOME funds from the County of Maui to the County of Hawai'i by the State Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC). The HHFDC allocated PY14 HOME funds of$452,684 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.

These funds will be utilized to construct the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project, Phase II which will consist of 30 one bedroom, one bath units for the elderly located in Hilo, Hawai'i. 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.
