Regan indicating that we nearly got the gold ring this time <br />around on the merry-go-round. They tell us that if we will re- <br />submit with some changes and some additional data they will put <br />another gold ring in the machine and let us take one more grab <br />at it. <br />The re -submission must be done by June 1, 1981, and will cost <br />us about $6,500. This is in addition to the approximately $12,000 <br />we have spent in the last three previous submissions. The new <br />submission will be for about one-third of the amount of the orig- <br />inal submission and will represent a one-year program as compared <br />to a three-year program. The understanding is that if we operate <br />successfully they will look favorably on funding for additional <br />years. <br />We will need a HAP (Housing Assistance Plan) and a finalized <br />full application. The services of a consultant are required in <br />order to meet the time constraint. <br />It is my recommendation that we find ways to fund this prog- <br />ram since we have spent so much money already, and we do have for <br />the first time a recognizably favorable response from HUD. <br />
