The employees are also provided with mentoring programs designed to broaden the work experience. Local non-profit organizations and the municipality's department directors are free to request that the WPHCA: and the employees undertake specific projects in low-income areas. These could  include graffiti removal, litter cleanup, or vegetation control. Recent discussion about the amount of litter in various locations and possible neighborhood projects has generated a request to spend more time on litter clean up and special projects than clearing vegetation from vacant lots in the comingyear.

The program is funded with) HOME: funds through a consortium with. Allegheny County and McKeesport. HOME allows up to 10% oft the funding to be used for administration. The sale ofhomes through the Homebuyer Assistance Program requires a significant amount of work to bring a prospective homebuyer to closing. As a result, we will use the full HOME allocation of  $130,495.00 to assist new homebuyers and fund the housing counseling and closing services with CDBG funds. Asofthis date we have assisted over 60 low-income families in the purchase of a home in Penn Hills at a total cost of $7,026,133.67 and downpayment and closing cost assistance on $583,165.67. The even distribution of homes throughout Penn Hills illustrates that when given an opportunity, low-income families will choose where they want to live.  P  5237,01 238 523770  5235.02/ 5236  Single Family Rehabilitation Program  $40,000.00  This program provides 0% loans to qualifying low- income homeowners. Because the interest rates ares SO low at this time, we are considering reducing the interest rate to 0%. Repayment of loans provides an estimated $35,0000 of! program income each year which is put back into the program. A matching grant oft up to $2,500.00 is available for accessible improvements. We offer this program to low and moderate income homeowners and encourage them to make necessary improvements to their homes. We assist homeowners in the application and bidding process. We process applications, prepare bid specifications and monitor construction through the Municipality's Housing Coordinator. During the life ofthe CDBG program we  have approved, carried out the work, and satisfied over 700 loans. There are currently 80 loans outstanding. The objective is to provide decent housing and the outcome is availability and accessibility.

Typical Senior Aid  advantage of both the single-family rehab program and the Senior Aid Rehab program. Thisi isay very popular program.

The Senior Service Center operated a successful handrail program for several years before handing it over to the Planning Department. This activity will enhance our already successful rehab programs and assist senior residents in making their homes safer. Funds from this activity were used to install handrails in approximately 40 low-income senior households per year.

Performance will be measured by the  number of families no longer living in substandard housing. $10,000.00 remains from  previous program years for a total of $20,000.00.  5    Townwide Demolition  $114,064.00  In combination with rehabilitation program, the removal of unsafe and deteriorated structures is a very important part of the Municipality's effort to eliminate slums and blight. When owners of deteriorated structures cannot be located and successfully prosecuted, or when owners are low- income individuals that cannot afford to remove the violation themselves, we will demolish the structure with CDBG funds. Specific guidelines are carried out to attempt tol locate the owner or their heirs prior to bidding out the  demolition. Once the property is demolished, a lien is placed on the property sO future recovery ofcosts is possible. This program operates on a town wide basis. These funds can also be used to remove retaining walls, debris, and accessory structures as well as for the  reestablishment ofappropriate lawns or vegetation.  Penn Hills expends nearly $100,000.00 per year on the demolition of unsafe structures and will continue to do sO at a similar pace. There is a cap on the amount of funds to be spent on the demolition. Itis nota al low-modactivity. Demolition does not meet the National Objective of benefit to low-mod residents. Although the structures are removed, Penn Hills does not own the land. We are removing a code violation and unsafe condition. Maintenance of the vacant lot is still the responsibility of the landowner. Many  residents in the vicinity ofthese lots would like to see these vacant lots maintained as lawn. Although our specifications require that the contractor fine grade the property and rake to establish a surface suitable for mowing, Penn Hills does not have the resources to mow these lots and there is no ordinance that requires owners of vacant property to maintain it as lawn. In fact, the opposite is true. Land is to remain wooded until a development proposal is approved. As long as no development proposal or building permit is obtained, these sites may return to woodland. This activity qualifies under Removal of Slum and Blight. Iti is not a low/mod income activity. The objective is to provide a suitable living environment and the outcome is sustainability. Outcome performance is measured by the number of unsafe structures removed through this activity. $13,381.41 remains from  previous program years for a total of$127,445.41.  6    Street Reconstruction  $220,000.00  This program is designed to provide street reconstruction in low-income neighborhoods throughout the municipality. We have essentially caught up with deteriorated streets in eligible neighborhoods and can now pave on a standard cycle. Street reconstruction is intended to benefit the quality of life in these neighborhoods by improving the physical environment. These improvements add value tothel homes int the area and hopefully encourage home ownership, rehabilitation activity, and new  construction. Thisi is not: a significant amount off funding when it comes to the cost ofs street reconstruction. This activity serves low-income areas town-wide. The Superintendent of Public Works and his staff have identified streets in need of reconstruction and prepared a list for the chart below. The objective is to provide a suitable living environment and the outcome is sustainability. Performance for this activity will be measured by the number of people that no longer have access to only substandard streets as a result of the improvements. $200,192.00 remains from previous program years for a total of  $420,192.00.

Penn Hills is permitted to use up to 20% of the CDBG expenditures for administration. The FY2023 budget will utilize up to 14%ofthel budget on administration. This means that 86% oft the Penn Hills CDBG funds is used to accomplish the goals ofthe CDBG program which is the benefit to low-income people. In the future we anticipate hiring a CDBG Coordinator to administer the CDBG Program. This will allow us to better serve. Penn Hills' low-income residents and free up time for the Planning Department staff to focus on grant writing and other planning department functions. $76,349.93 remains  from previous program years for at total of$176,349.93.

S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a condition of the receipt of HUD funds. As the submission of these documents becomes more complicated and time consuming, we believe that utilizing the assistance of a consultant is extremely helpful. The Planning Department receives assistance from consultants to prepare these documents and assist us with the operation of the CDBG and HOME programs. The use ofac consulting firm is an eligible activity and paid for with CDBG funds. Although professional services are exempt from bidding in many cases, Federal regulations require that professional services be bid out every three years to provide ac competitive atmosphere when procuring professional services for federally funded projects. The Planning Department prepared specifications, sent letters to prospective consultants, advertised and received proposals from one Community Development consulting firm for services related to the Community Development We have utilized the services of Urban Design Ventures for many years and found their proposal to be reasonable and comprise the professional capabilities we desire. Both firms are well qualified. For the sake of continuity we recommend that we continue to contract with Urban Design Ventures since they have provided exceptional service, offer years of experience and expertise and have proven to represent the Municipality of Penn Hills in a consistently professional manner.
