Pride In Enid Project "Enid Beautification is our Responsibility"

PRIDE IN ENID ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Program Proposal:

CDSA proposes to utilize $22,000, ($11,000 per year for two years), of proceeds generated by a no longer active HOPE III program to provide a supplement to the existing Pride in Enid Program's efforts to rally community volunteers, organizations and others to assist in the clean-up of private property owned and occupied by very-low to moderate income individuals and families

It is the intent of the Pride in Enid Assistance Program to step in when no other source of assistance is available. The source of funding will be used to address situations that do not qualify for the CDBG Emergency Repair or Barrier Removal programs or other local, state, federal or private funding or in-kind sources of assistance. The use of program funds will be limited to only those items specified by the Coordinator of the Pride in Enid Program on the client application.

Program qualification and procedures:

Participant and activity qualifications will be as follows:

Owner-occupied properties only.

Participant family income shall not be in excess 80% of the current median income for Enid as defined by HUD.

The coordinator of the Pride in Enid Program shall provide, and sign, a detailed written description of the work the Pride in Enid Assistance Program is being requested to address.

Pride in Enid Assistance Program participants shall submit completed application along with all required support documentation to the CDSA housing coordinator for review and approval.

CDSA will construct work write-ups, collect bids, execute contracts, etc as per normal CDBG procurement procedures.

Upon completion of any project, CDSA, the owner, and the coordinator of the Pride in Enid shall inspect and approve the work prior to final payment being released to the contractor.

CDSA will retain ten (10) percent of each project contract amount as project delivery costs.

CDSA will report monthly to the CDBG Administrator on the status of the program, number of applications approved and denied, reasons for any denials, status of approved projects, total amount of funds expended and committed.
