RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM - STATUS REPORT
The Executive Director explained that the Residential

improve their properties, reported that about seventeen
applications have been mailed, four are almost at the stage

is to expand a public information campaign and have more of a
targeted effort of those properties identified through a
windshield survey as good prospects for the residential rehab
assistance program. The Director noted that two hundred
fliers have been mailed, announcement has been made on Seal
Beach TV3 as well of the availability of the program to
qualified residents, apartment owners, renters, and property
owners, it is felt that interest will increase once the
mailers are targeted and brochures are personally delivered
to doors with information relating to the availability of
this program. Boyd moved, second by Campbell, to receive and
file the status report, and authorize a continued outreach
effort to expand the program.

MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Executive Director explained that this is a related
program, is also tied to the Redevelopment Agency set aside
funds which are now about $1.7 million, and can only be used
for the preservation or creation of affordable housing within
the City, if those monies are not used there is a risk of
losing them. He noted this to be a preliminary report as
there is no affordable housing available as yet however there
is potential of creating some affordable units at the
northerly end of the Bixby property, these would be single
family detached homes of more than two thousand square feet.
The Director said the only way those homes can be made
affordable is for the Agency to use a portion of the $1.7
million to subsidize down payments and mortgages, this
program anticipated to have considerable interest. He
pointed out that the Agency's consultant has current
experience in doing just this in Coronado and the San Gabriel
Valley where the price and demand for housing is so great
there is need for a lottery and the people qualify for
mortgage assistance to be in the program. The Director
clarified that this program is legal and appropriate in that
the City does risk losing the set aside monies if not used
and it meets the objective of providing affordable housing in
a community where housing is not necessarily affordable.
Boyd moved, second by Campbell, to receive and file the
report, and authorized that next steps be taken for the
development of program criteria and guidelines necessary for
a buyer selection process.
