BACKGROUND:
On May 2023, the City’s Community Development Services (CDS) Department received a request for assistance with housing rehabilitation from a low-income family. CDS conducted a structural evaluation of the home and determined that to bring the home to current building standards the roof needs to be replaced, mold remediated, HVAC system and attic insulation replaced, 22 windows replaced, and electrical upgraded. Some of the flooring needs to be replaced; the exterior of the home needs to be repaired; the interior and exterior need to be painted; and a termite extermination needs to be performed.

On February 15, 2024, the City issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. CDS/240289 for residential rehabilitation services for the Stein property.

This project will be funded by the City’s Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Grant. Staff recommends approval.
