Background:
On December 8, 2020 the BoCC approved this item. The demolition/construction of these homes were previously awarded but the contractors withdrew their bid due to material cost increases
Alachua County has been awarded a $750,000.00 CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) in the Housing Rehabilitation Category to repair or replace a minimum of Seven (7) Low to Moderate Income (LMI -below 80% of area median income) owner occupied homes located in Alachua County.
The CDBG Program requires that all code violations, health and safety items, and Section 8 Housing Standards be addressed on all homes where CDBG funds will be utilized. The County received an extra 75 points in the CDBG Housing Application for requiring “green “elements be addressed on each home.
Alachua County has committed approximately $276,000.000 of SHIP Funds as leverage in this project.
Due to the condition of the existing homes and CDBG HAP Guidelines, all seven (7) homes have been bid as replacements to include existing home demolition, asbestos abatement where applicable and construction of new concrete block on slab homes.
Alachua County has hired Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc. to assist in the Administration of the County’s CDBG Housing Grant.
