-3- <br /> Community Involvement <br /> Before the Metro HRA Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program can <br /> operate within a Metropolitan Area community , the city must pass <br /> a resolution to participate in the program. Other community <br /> involvement could include additional promotional efforts through <br /> local newletters , newspapers , and utility bill enclosures . <br /> The operation of the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program within <br /> a community requires the involvement of the city' s building <br /> inspector. As local code enforcement is of vital importance in <br /> the program, Metro HRA staff works closely with community building <br /> inspectors during the rehabilitation process to ensure quality <br /> rehabilitation in compliance with local codes . <br /> The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program can also be used as a <br /> leveraging tool with Community Development Block Grant funds in <br /> local rehabilitation projects . CDBG funds can be used to further <br /> reduce the interest rate on the Rental Rehabilitation Program <br /> loan funds , provide interest or principle subsidies , provide <br /> additional funding when the total cost of rehabilitation exceeds <br /> the program' s maximum loan amount , or provide financing for <br /> projects not eligible under the program' s standards . <br /> • For further information on the Metro HRA Rental Rehabilitation <br /> Loan Program, - contact Rosemary Fagrelius at 291-6504. <br />
