3) Proof of lhe severity of need in a community. (Severe, documented septic tank pro ,lems along with photographs would need to be included in the grant applicatl bn for review by the State). In order to provide the ~locumentation necessary to apply for a grant project of this nature, the County must cont~t each property owner and/or target area resident within the designated Project Are~. by actually going door-to-door, and complete a preliminary application on each household. Each property owner or Target Area resident must sign a preliminary application Worm indicating the name(s), age(s), income(s), and disability status of al...Jl family household{members; their rental or mortgage payment amount and their address and telephon~number. This data is gathered in order to determine whether the proposed Targeted Ar .die meets the Iow- and moderate-income criteria, which in turn will determine whether thi~area is eligible to apply for assistance under the CDBG program. These survey forms ar~ also part of the application process and would be included as part of the grant applicatio~should the County be eligible to apply for assistance. Once the Income Surv~ ,y information is compiled, the Cabarrus County Health Department will need to document I ,y letter the number of failed and fallln¢~ septic tanks located in this community. Because tt is is an extensive process, Cabarrus County will be using Hobbs, Upchurch & Assoclat rs, P.A., consulting engineers, to assist with the income housing survey data, the septic lank assessments, photographs, and the writing of the grant application should it b~ determined that this area is eligible to apply for a grant project.
