ICABARRUSCOUNTYI <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> Kelly Sifford, AICP Community Development Manager <br /> <br /> January 6, 2004 <br /> <br />Community Development Programs Report <br /> <br />I would like to update the Board on the activities of the Community Development <br />Division of the Department of Commerce and demand for housing repair services this <br />year. The demand has been great this year for housing repair services, in particular <br />handicap ramp installations and heating system repairs. The cost of lumber has risen <br />substantially recently causing ramp installations to cost significantly more. Additionally, <br />demand in Kannapolis has been great. We have completed 31 projects in Kannapolis <br />accounting for 34 % of all of the Community Development projects conducted by the <br />department. The fact that is not clear in this statistic is that many of the projects were <br />heating repairs or weatherization work which are programs that are available to persons <br />of all ages, not just the elderly. This report details activities from July 1 st through <br />December 31, 2003. <br /> <br />Housing and Home Repair Program (HHI) <br />A total of 61 projects at a cost of $30,714 have been completed. Seventeen of which <br />were in Kannapolis. The total budget for Housing and Home Repair for the year is <br />$37,000. <br /> <br />Weatherization (WX) <br />A total of 12 projects at a cost of $24,451 Seven of the pi'ojects were in Kannapolis. The <br />total budget for the Weatherization program is $99,958. <br /> <br />Heating and Air Repair and Replacement Program (HARP) <br />Eighteen projects have been completed afa cost of $19,046. Seven of the projects were <br />in Karmapolis. The total budget for the Heating and Air Repair and Replacement <br />Program is $2'7,927. <br /> <br />Please feel free to contact me at 704-920-2142 if you have additional questions regarding <br />these programs.
