ONE OF the largest housing programs administered by the housing authority is through the Community Development program or the grant which proposes to revitalize neighborhoods by bringing homes up to code. Last year the county received $192,000 for funding the program in Clearfield where 167 homes on North and South Villa Drive and Ross Drive were a part of the renovation process. C-- Mr. Dickson said that the housing authority is asking for $300,000 grant this year, which includes about $34,000 in planning money as well as additional funds for handicapped housing ACCORDING TO Mr. Dickson, there has been some controversy m the county as to who should get the community development money. The area selected based on the age of the home, the ethnic mix of the community and the income of the area, he said. Homeowners are assisted through grants and loan to create a stable tax base in the area and to keep the blight out, Mr. Dickson said. son Dickson said that measure has resulted in an enormous return since families in an emergency housing situation are kept off relief. He spoke of one six member family who lived In a one bedroom home and were eligible to apply for funds through the program. " A ' V ANOTHER PROGRAM, available through Section 8 of Housing Urban Development Funds (HUD) provides 200 slots for those who qualify for rent supplement. Based on a successful management review with the federal HUD office in Denver, Mr. Dickson said that 50 to 100 additional slots may be available next year to beef up the program since 300 to 400 people are on the waiting list Mr Low income families, the handicapped, or those over 62 are eligible for the program which pays a rent supplement based on the income of the family. In most cases, the rent supplement is about 50 percent of the cost of the housing, Mr. Dickson said. Since inflation has increased, more people, especially those over 65, qualify for the program which specifies that those with an income of under $1,900 for one person can qualify. ANOIHER program for those over 65 is one housing complex for the elderly located in Kaysville which results in 19 apartments being available for that age group. Alice Johnson, director of the Council on Aging, said that more housing is needl'd for the elderly in the county. Mr. Dickson said that the Crestwood complex was built in connection with Section 23 of the HUD grant prior to funds for that typie of housing being killed by congress. The housing authority works with Blair Jones, owner of the complex but does not own or maintain the complex and participates only in the administrat- ive end. THE FUNDS are available to pay a rent supplement to the landlord. In some cases the apartment may rent for $175 while the older tenant pays only $25, based on his income.- During a Council of Governments (COG) session, Mrs. Johnson questioned Based on the population growth in Davis County and the shortage of homes, more people will have to turn to older houses, he said. The average new home in Central Davis County is now about $58,000 which prices many people out of the market. THE HOUSING authority is considering specifying other cities m the county who qualify for grants if the money continues to be awarded. As interest is generated in areas where cities actively participate, other neighborhoods in the Layton, Woods Cross and Bountiful areas may receive money to be upgraded, he said The housing authority participates with CAP in holding neighborhood council meeting to hear from the grass roots as to lly since where housing is grants will be allocated money for the cycles. in the future m three-yea- r needed-especia- C-- HE SAID in Salt Lake City the grants have been used to rejuvenate the downtown area. Davis County could use funds for urban development in business areas if community boards became more active. C-- D C-- The housing authority lay board approves grants as well as managing other units. That board is chaired by Jean Kelly. Other members of the board are Steve Montoya, Vicki Johnson and Elva Siler. No board member has yet been named to vacate a position left empty due to the death of Sidney Noble. are appointed from people recommended from any strata of society, with an atMR. DICKSON said board members tempt made to get people with different backgrounds on the board. "We try to avoid getting anyone with a cause since all points of view should be represented," he said. a organization, the houslow ing authority also manages a in income building in Layton, a Woods Cross and a home in Clearfield.
