January 1, 2012 thru March 31, 2012 Performance Report B-08-UN-27-0001 Grant: Anoka County, MN Grantee: 1 Community Development Systems Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR) ---PAGE BREAK--- Grant Number: B-08-UN-27-0001 Grantee Name: Anoka County, MN Grant Amount: $2,377,310.00 Estimated PI/RL Funds: $2,000,000.00 Obligation Date: 03/10/2009 Award Date: 03/10/2009 03/10/2013 Contract End Date: Submitted - Await for Review Review by HUD: Total Budget: $4,377,310.00 Disasters: NSP Declaration Number Narratives Areas of Greatest Need: Anoka County determined areas of greatest need by using the following data: a. Total amount of properties foreclosed upon in the years 2007 and 2008 b. USPS Residential Vacancy Rate and c. HMDA High-Cost Loan Rate. Information was compiled and weighed to show risk. Using the weighed data against the risk score and predicted foreclosure rates allows us to meet the 2301(c)(2) criteria. The areas identified by the County as &ldquogreatest risk&rdquo were consistent with all data reviewed. Anoka County determined the areas of greatest need by census tract and blocks groups and has identified tracts within 13 of our 21 cities and townships. In addition to working with real estate professionals we are working closely with the municipalities to identify housing units that are distressed and causing neighborhood concerns. Anoka County will target areas of greatest need with programs for home buyer financing, acquisition and rehabilitation and demolition. Anoka County will continue to be the responsible organization for the administration of these projects and use partnerships to meet program goals. Distribution and and Uses of Funds: Anoka County intends to use NSP funds in areas of greatest need by completing acquisition and rehabilitation of units that are substandard but suitable for rehabilitation, demolition on units that create blight and are no longer fit for habitation due to structural or health and safety issues and home buyer financing to allow households to purchase foreclosed and vacant properties that are in good to standard condition. Anoka County is proposing funds are used in the following way: Home buyer financing $300,000, demolition $400,000, acquisition and rehabilitation to meet 25% set aside $ 594,330 and acquisition and rehabilitation serving LMMI households $845,294. Anoka County will retain $237,731 for NSP program administration and federal requirements. Anoka County will use funds to meet low, moderate and middle income housing needs. Definitions and Descriptions: Blighted Structure is a structure in which by reason of dilapidation, obsolences, overcrowdinw, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, excessive land coverage, deleterious land use, or any combination of these or other factors, is detrimental to the safety, health, morale, or welface of the community. Rehabilitation standards will be in accordance with State of MN Building, Electrical and Plumbing Codes. All homes will meet HUD's Section 8 Housing Quality Standards. The County, working with housing inspectors and/or city building officials will review the physical condition of each property and determine if the unit meets HQS. Low Income Targeting: Low income targeting will be met by working with our local non-profit partners. Through organiziations such as the CAP, Habitat, local land trusts and foundations Anoka County will reach out to those at or below 25% AMI for homeownership opportunities. Acquisition and Relocation: Anoka County will purchase vacant and foreclosed homes that are distressed and not eligible for standard financing to either rehabilitate or demolish. All homes are vacant at the time of the first showing and no tenants reside. If the home is occupied and/or there are personal belonging present work with the realtors and owner will further determine status of occupancy. Anoka County will not take practice in displacing any household during the NSP program administration Active QPR Contact: Grant Status: Kate Thunstrom 2 Community Development Systems Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR) ---PAGE BREAK--- $286,044.64 N/A $1,887,283.14 $50,000.00 $249,403.31 $0.00 Total Obligated $1,199,622.64 $0.00 Total Funds Expended Total Projected Budget from All Sources Program Income Drawdown This Report Period Total Budget $3,179,493.93 $2,380.97 $1,272,529.24 Match Contributed Program Funds Drawdown To Date $3,050,264.45 $3,179,493.93 $3,179,493.93 Overall Program Income Received $0.00 $0.00 Anoka County continues to acquire and rehabilitate targeted foreclosed and vacant properties.

After discussions with HUD, it was found that Anoka County had duplicated its DRGR reporting efforts and mislabled an activity in the system from inception. Anoka County purchases properties for the removal of blighted single family homes. The intent is to remove a unit that is no longer habital due to mold, asbestos, and other health, safety or public issues. The future use of the lot will remain a single family plat and the construction of the unit on that lot will also be a single family unit. We are not consolidating lots to build a structure outside the origial foot print, therefore the labeling of this activity should have remained as Acquisition/Rehabiltiation. All sites that benefited from the draws agaisnt this activitiy will be reported as housing accomplishments in Activity 3D.
