Describe how you provided decent housing and a suitable living environment for low and moderate - income persons and how it made an impact on identified needs. Cabarrus County has identified low to moderate income homeowners with substandard housing as the greatest housing need in its jurisdiction. Cabarrus County has also decided to focus it's housing resources on elderly and disabled residents. Low to moderate income persons and families are selected for the single family rehabilitation after going through an application process. The homes are inspected and evaluated for their needs. Qualified applicants have their homes rehabilitated through the HOME program. Cabarrus County uses HQS inspection forms and lead reports by certified inspectors to create work write - ups to meet all the code needs and other needs as defined by the circumstances. Common rehabilitation activities are: roof replacements, electrical and plumbing work, energy efficiency updates, windows, doors, and handicap accessibility features. All of these activities work to keep the home affordable and safe for the client. It also helps Cabarrus County keep clients in the home when accessibility measures are taken. Most work is focused on low to moderate income elderly and disabled clients, thereby meeting the published goals of the program. G -1 Page 153
