Boa 97 ,,I 65 <br />program provides that rehabilitation assistance can be provided <br />only as loans, not grants. <br />If the county wants to provide SHIP funds to the EOC in the future, <br />that could be done. It would, however, require amendment of the <br />county's local housing *assistance program. Such an amendment would <br />have to provide for distributing some SHIP funds as grants, a <br />proposition that the Board has not generally supported in the past. <br />Unless you direct otherwise, I don't intend to propose that the <br />county's local housing assistance program be amended. Please <br />contact me with any questions. <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: February 28, 1996 <br />SUBJECT: Economic Opportunities Council - Request for Funds <br />FROM: James E. Chandler. f <br />County Administritor <br />The Economic Opportunities Council (EOC) has requested funding in the amount of <br />$2,377.20 to be used as a match for its weatherization grant program. <br />The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) advised that funding from the County's <br />State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) could not be allocated for the match since <br />the county program has been approved as only a rehabilitation loan program. As a result, if <br />approved, funding would be from the General Fund Contingency. <br />8911111111122 ef[.IEL <br />Mr. Jim Chandler, County Administrator <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />County Administration Building <br />1840 -25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />January, IS, 1996 <br />Dear Mr. Chandler, <br />1456 Old Qbde Hwy, Bldg B • Post Offlee Box 82786 <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32961-2766 <br />lr i filler cwx* <br />Phorre (407) 569-1030 <br />Fax (407) 562-4178 <br />Thank you for taking the time to talk with me concerning the county's possible matching funding <br />for the Low Income Emergency Home Repair Program Grant (LEHRP).
