The GLO is the agency responsible for the administration of disaster funds allocated to housing activities and has contracted with the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission (SETRPC) to receive the benefit of these funds at the local level and carry out eligible housing activities. These Round 2 Housing Demolition Only Guidelines do not replace or supersede the Guidelines developed by the SETRPC for the Round 1 Program. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The SETRPC Disaster Recovery Housing Program (DRHP) will provide assistance to communities affected by Hurricane Ike that occurred on September 13, 2008, The SETRPC developed these Housing Demolition Guidelines to serve as the basis for the Hurricane Ike Round 2 Demolition Only Program, in meeting the HUD Slum and Blight National Objective. The purpose of this program is to address slum and blight on a spot basis and will include the removal of vacant deteriorated or abandoned homes, which pose a threat to the public's health and safety. This programs activity does not include reconstruction of the home on the project site. Funds to complete Demolition associated with the Reconstruction process are not provided from the Slum and Blight allocation. Program Requirements A. The activities for this program will meet the Slum and Blight National Objective. B. The project site must be located within Hardin, Jefferson or Orange Counties. C. The SETRPC conducted a Needs Assessment to determine the types of programs it will offer and the Needs Assessment is the basis for Program Design. The Needs Assessment determined the need for a slum and blight elimination activities to be offered, and the target areas for which these activities are to take place. D. Sites will be selected by the local municipality. E. All sites must undergo a complete environmental review prior to any commitment of funds. No work can start on a site until the environmental assessment is complete. For assistance activities, it must be demonstrated that the damage or destruction to structures was the direct result of Hurricane Ike. Hurricane damage details are noted in Part 2 of this document. 1.2 Allocation and Housing Assistance Caps A total of $5,917,770.00 has been set aside for the Housing Demolition Only Program. This allocation may be increased or decreased based on the demand for the Program with GLO approval. x SETRP(' Disaster Recover)- Housing Program Musing Demolition Only Guidebook 1.3 Funding Levels There is a maximum cap of $10,000 per project. 1.4 Type of Assistance Offered The assistance consists of the demolition of Hurricane Ike damaged dilapidated residential structures, standing structure components and any building debris to address slum and blight according to HUD's Nation Objective. The demolition and proper disposal of this associated debris is included in the project, 1.5 Appeals/ Conflict of Interest A complaint and appeals procedure will be afforded applicants to provide a quick and efficient system toward resolution of any and all concerns that applicants may have with the procedures followed and services provided by DRHP. Applicants have the right to participate in the process when they believe there is a mistake regarding their application. An appeals process initiated by the applicant will include an informal and written grievance procedure which may include but not be limited to informal hearings, third -party review and director approval. A DRHP will render a decision regarding exception reviews and formal appeals. Appeals, grievances, and exceptions will be further explained in the Appeals and Exceptions Procedures. Fair Housing Complaints — Persons alleging a violation of fair housing laws will be referred to SETRPC's local contact and process to file a complaint. SETRPC will retain a log and record of all fair housing inquiries, allegations, complaints, and referrals. In addition, SETRPC will report suspected non-compliance to the state and HUD. Conflict of Interest — a) The conflict of interest regulations contained in the contract between the SETRPC and GLO prohibit local elected officials, SETRPC employees, and consultants who exercise functions with respect to CDBG Disaster Recovery activities or who are in a position to participate in a decision-making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, from receiving any benefit from the activity either for themselves or for those with whom they have family or business ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter. b) For purposes of this section, "family" is defined to include parents (including mother-in-law and father-in-law), grandparents, siblings (including sister-in-law and brother-in-law), and children of an official covered under the CDBG conflict of interest regulations at 24 CFR Sec. 570.489(h). c) The Department is able to consider granting an exception to the conflict of interest provision should it be determined by GLO that the SETRPC has adequately and publicly addressed all of the concerns generated by the conflict of interest and that an exception would serve to further the purposes of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and the effective and efficient administration of the program. Do not enter into a conflict of interest until a request for an exception has been granted. 3 .S'C7RPC Disaster Recovei-i, (lousing Progrcuu llousing 19enmlition OalY Guiclebook 1.6 Anti- Fraud and Compliance Policies DRHP will investigate all allegations regarding eligibility and the disbursement of funds or any other allegations of fraud or noncompliance. Where appropriate the program will assist Federal, State, and local agencies. 1.7 Files, Records and Reports The SETRPC shall maintain accurate files and records on each applicant and shall retain all pertinent documentation for a period of three years beyond the close of the grant between HUD and the State. Compliance will be maintained in accordance with the reporting requirements under GLO CDBG Disaster Recovery Program. This includes all information and reports as required under the GLO contract with the SETRPC and demographic data and other information on applicants and awardees processed by the SETRPC as required by the Conciliation Agreement. A list of each new report required will be available as an Appendix in this document as amended from time -to -time as necessary by requests from GLO for additional reports. The SETRPC is committed to a minimum of producing regular reports on Section 3 progress, and civil rights and affirmatively furthering fair housing progress as required in the Conciliation Agreement and program contracts, 1.8 Procurement Requirements A. The SETRPC shall abide by the Procurement process mandated by Federal, State, and Local Government codes as they are applicable to the program. The procurement process includes the decision to purchase as well as the process to complete the purchase. The federal government has established a set of procurement rules at 24 CFR Part 84 and 85 that apply to CDBG-funded projects. These rules are in place to ensure that federal dollars are spent fairly and encourage open competition for the best level of service and price. In addition, the State of Texas has enacted a set of regulations that also apply to CDBG contracts through the Uniform Grant Management Standards the Texas Government Code and the Local Government Code. If a conflict between federal and state procurement regulations should occur, safe harbor is typically found in the more stringent regulation. . 4 � 1 SETRPC Disaster Recover- Housing Program housing Demolition Only Guidebook Part 2 Eligibility Requirements 2.1 Hurricane Ike Damage The home must have been damaged by Hurricane Ike and must have been the subject of a City Council Resolution designating properties as slum and blight on a spot/area basis. 2.2 Location The damaged home must be located in the SETRPC jurisdiction area as indicated in the SETRPC contract with the GLO. 2.3 Eligible Structure Type Residential Structures which are vacant deteriorated or have been abandoned and have been determined by the municipality to pose a health and safety to the public.
