PROGRAM SUMMARY The Community Development Division administers the HELP Program. Under this program, property owners may obtain loans to assist with repair of the exterior of their homes. The purpose of the HELP Program is to work with neighborhood residents/owners to improve homes and neighborhoods through achieving significant, visible improvements to homes and to help bring properties into compliance with building and zoning codes. B. PROCEDURES Eligibility of a specific property will be based on the need for exterior rehabilitation which will stabilize deterioration and improve the appearance of the home, and the need for repairs to bring the property into compliance with building and zoning codes. Ogden City staff will have final approval of the scope of work. Prospective borrowers begin by filling out a Loan Application and returning it to Ogden City’s Community Development Division along with home ownership documentation (Deed), income verification, and documentation of other loans secured against the property. As long as there is money available, the applications will be reviewed and the property will be inspected. Once the borrower is qualified, a staff member of the Community Development Division will assist the borrower to obtain a contract with a contractor for the improvements. This involves providing technical assistance in 1) developing a description of the work, 2) overseeing the contracting process, 3) monitoring construction, and 4) making payments to the contractor. The contract is between the borrower and the contractor. The City will not be a party to the contract. It is the responsibility of the borrower to make sure that the work is done to his/her satisfaction. When the borrower is qualified, the City will issue a loan to the borrower, secured against the improved property by a Deed of Trust. All loan proceeds will remain on account with the City and will be disbursed to the contractor at the completion of the work. Disbursement is subject to the approval of the borrower and the City. C. REQUIREMENTS 1. Borrower Qualifications a. Owner-Occupancy: Applicant must own and occupy the property being considered for this program. Non-owner occupants are eligible if the property is located in the East Central Planning Community (Ogden River to 30th Street, from Harrison Blvd to Washington Blvd). Funding for non-owner occupants is limited to 20% of the annual program budget. b. Income: Applicant’s income must be sufficient to afford the payment. There is no income limit. c. Credit: subject to review. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2549 Washington Blvd Suite 120 Ogden, UT 84401 ▪ (801) 629-8940 ▪ http://ogdencityhomes.com *For Accessibility & Language Assistance call (801) 629-8701 or visit http://accessibility.ogdencity.com TTY/TDD Relay Utah: 711 or [PHONE REDACTED] 2. Property Qualifications a. The program is available citywide for owner-occupant home owners. However, non-owner occupied properties are only eligible in the East Central Planning Community.

Zoning: The home and property must be in compliance with applicable zoning regulations. 3. Construction a. Eligible Work Items: The scope of work will be approved by Ogden City staff, and will include items that are determined to stabilize deterioration and approve the appearance of the home.

Also eligible are work items which will bring the property into compliance with building and zoning codes. b. Contractor: All work must be done by a licensed contractor that is approved by Ogden City. 4. Historic Preservation a.

This is a means of determining the effect that any city sponsored action may have relative to identifying and determining the effect on historic resources as well as gaining the input of a qualified entity on how to mitigate and reduce negative effects on the historic resource. b.
