LEGISLATIVE BACKGROIIND
• THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974
This new congressional authorization is s.imply a consolidatzon of a number of
rormer HUD Grants, such as Urban Renewal, ModeZ Cities, Water and Sewer, Nezghborhood
Facilities, Public Facility Loans and Open Space and Rehabilitation.
The intent of this act is to (I) elimi.nate slums and blighted areas (2) preventian
of blighted and deteriorated neiqhborhoods, and (3) eliminatian of conditions which are
detrimental to health, safety and public welfare, (4) conservation and expansion of
existing housing stock of Iow and moderate income.
Through implementation of this legisZation a rehabilitation loan and gz-ant program
sha11 be established whic.h wi11 provide propexty owners, an a city-wide basis, with the
financial and technical assistance necessazy to restore and preserve the existing housing
resources in the City of Hopkins, thereby permitting residential neighborhaods in tPie
Ci ty to be maintazned and improved.
Z. A11 loans and grants sha11 be issued primarily for rehabiZitating housing so
_ _ _
that it meets appli cable housing codes.
2. On approvznq applications for loans and grants, the following factors sha1Z
be considered.
(a) The avaiZability of other Governmental programs affordable by the appli-
cant.
(bJ The availabiZity and affordabilit� of private market financing.
(c) Whether the housing is required, pursuant to an urban renewa2 program,
Code Enforcement program, or a court order issued under the `" Tenants'
Rernedies Act, to be repaired, improved, or rehabilitated.
(dJ Whether the housing has been determined to be uninsurable because of
physical hazards after inspection pursuant to a state-wide praperty
insurance plan epproved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban DeveZop-
ment under Tit1e XII of the NationaZ Housiz2g Act.
3. In approving appZications for grants, two additional factors sha11 be consider�d:
. .
(a) 6r�hether the housinq unit is a single-famil� dwelling or homesteaded unit.
(b) Plhether the applicant zs a person of low-income.
4_ The City Counci.Z sha11 by ordinance set forth the regulations for the grant
program.
5. The dollar value of grants rrtade shall not exceed 40 percent of the total re-
habilitation program.
6. Additional grants given shonld be held to less than the interest rate callected
to maintain a balance for the future.
PROGRAM CONCEPT
The Communzty Development Funds may provide (I) rehabilitation grants; (2) rehabili-
';ation loan principal; (3) Ioan subsidy and (4) adm.inistrative and technical cast,s.
1. Community Development Funds wi.Z1 be utilized to provi de rehabiZitation grants in
accordance with the guidelines contained herein. Based on the totaZ authority .
for this program for the Zst years, a maximum amount of .560,000 wzll be available
to provide grants to eligible property owners. '
2. Loan principle wi12 be made available to eZigib�e apglicants at one of three
interest xates, primarily depending upon an �plicant's combined household income
and total net assets.
3. Certain property owners wi11 be approved for loans at an interest =afe Iess than
the interest rate qranted b� private lending agencies. A portion of the Community
Development Funds wi11 be utilized to pay the interest differential to reduce the
interest rate of individual loans to appropriate app.Iicants. (Note: Grant covers
difference between eight (8�) percent and four (4�) percent Zoans.)
4. Community DeveZopment Funds wi1l be used to pay administrative and technical
assistance costs. In outline, these costs are as follows:
(a) Loan 5ervicing Fee: A portion of the Community Development Funds wi11 be
utilized to pay this fEe for those propert� oraners who recei ve. loans at the
�
lower two interest rates. (Note: Administration fund initially but eventually
from interest.)
(b) Technical Assistance: A partion of the Conanunity Development Fvrtds sha11 be
utilized to pay administrative costs whi.ch become necessary to make financial
assistance available to property owners who receive such assistance.
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES
The Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment Authority sha.Z1 be the Agency respor�sible
for the adrr�inistration of the City's Rehabilitation Pzogram. This Agency shaZ1 rrtake
aZ1 reasonabZe effort to establish a steering committee composed of comncuni�y group
representatives, private citizens and public officiaZs to act in an adrriso.�r} capacity
during the process of developing administrative guzdelines prior to zmglementation
and to act in a monitoring ca�acity during implementation. - ' - '
The program does not envision an initial reservation of funds in any interest _
rate categ4ry or for any geographic area of the City. Based on the income Zimits
being adopted for the various Zoan interest rate categaries, however, a Ioan approval
ration of 2-1-1 (lower interest rate-rr�iddle interest rate-higher znterest rate) sha11
be established as a guideline over the length of the prograrn. This guideline, hawever, '
sha11 be adjustable by the administrating body based on need. A monztoring s�stem
sha11 be established, particularly during the earl� stages of implementation, that
wi11 detect and advise the administrating body ana the steerzng committee of any trends
inconsistent with the intent. :
_3-
'>�
' Particular emphasis sha11 be placed on encouraging lower-income owners (those
eligible for Zoans at the lower interest rate) who live in neighborhoods where the need '
for rehabilitation is recognized to avail themselves of this Ioan and grant program.
This program sha11 be implemented with as few administrative rules and procedural
steps as possible. The goal is to structure a program which responds with corresponding
flexibility and also satisfies the intent.
The followin g sha11 form the foundation upon which administrati ve guidelines axe
to be developed by the Authority:
GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
1. To be eligible for a rehabilitation �oan or grant, an applicant must be a praperty
owner (fee owner or contract-for-deed purchaser) who has the ability to repay
the Ioan and is an acceptable credit risk.
The administrating body sha1l exercise greater flexihility in determining
"ability to pay" and "acceptab.Ze credit risk" than is generally demc�nstrated in
making such judgements. Administrative guidelines wi1l be established to i'efZect
concerns that the contract-for-deed provision does not become abused. -
2. In determining the eligibiZitr� of applicants relative to ir�come,` the administrat-
ing body shaZ1 consider the following eligibilit� criteria:
a. Tota1 household income of the applicant which is available for housing;
b. The size af �he farruZy:
c. The cost and condition of housing which is avaiZabZe;
d. The ability of the applicant to acquire conventionaZ financing, and
e. The ability of the applicant to acquire fr`nancing from other governmental
programs;
f. Total net assets.
3. The enabling legislation states that other governmental programs and private
market financing must be considered when approving applzcations for loans and
grants. Therefore, to be approved for financial assistance through thzs p�ogram,
an applicant's total household monthly income sha.I1 be such that the agpli cant
cannot afford within 25% of that income existing ho.using related expenses plus
the cost of other government or private financing programs which would perrnit
comparable amounts of code or incipient code items to be completed. Other
finanring programs which must be considered are the Federal 3I2 program, the
Minnesota Housinq Finance Agency rehabiZitation pxoqram and grivate industry
programs at market interest rates.
4. Efforts sha1Z be rrtade to ensure that financing of rehabilitation through this
program wi11 be available to:
(a) . , Owners required to repair, improve, or rehabilitate housing because of
an urban renewal or Code Enforcement program, or i f under court order;
(b) . Owners unabZe to recei ve property insurance because of physical hazards;
(c) . Owners unable to afford rehabilitation loans at a market rate of interest.
5. Any one property owner sha11 not use the financia� assistance to be provided
through this program to rehabilitate more than four f4) dwelling units, except

Cit�'s Zoning Ordinance, and the use must be permitted under the UrBan Renewal
Plan or Development Plan if located in such an area.
2. A property sha11 not be eligible if it has been identified for public ecquisition
for which funding is presently available, unless that property is being formaZly
re-examined for potentiaZ reten ti on, in which case waivers sha.11 be considered.
Properties which are identified for conditional or possibZe acquzsition will be
eligible.
3. As a generaZ rule, the financial assistance (1oan, grant, or combinatiqn} sha11
not be approved if the total of the existzng indebtedness in the progert� pZus
the total va.Zue of the financial assistance be provided would exceed the after
.�ehabilitat.ion Fair Market Va1ue of the property_
4. After rehabilitation, the property must be insurable through an estabZished
public or pri vate praperty insurance program. '

additions, if this work is to be pertormed on a propertg which is current.Iy zn
compliance with City Codes or is currently safe and habitable or is heing braught
into ful.Z compliance with City Codes or is otherwise becominq (durzng the course
of the rehabilitation) safe and habitable. The cost of such general proper�y ,
improvements, however, sha11 not exceed 30� of the totaT cost of the work to be
performed or �$5,000, whichever is greater.
4. Rehabilitation grants sha11 only be approved to finance corrections a.f Cade

require the owner to bring the property into fu11 compliance with City Codes.

' REHABILITATION LOANS
Z. Osvner-occupants and contxact-for deed purchasers sha11 be e.Zigible for loarts
with gross annval househoZd income and net assets being the basis for deter-
mining the interest rate of the app.Zicant's 1oan. (See Appendix Z) The ad-
ministratzng body sha11 review these income Zirrrits from tirrte to ti� to determine
potential ad�justtraent.
2. Absentee owners of residential units, regardless of where that owner resides,
shaZ.Z be e1i gible for loans. Generally, absentee owners sha11 be e2igible

the property, however, may be for a thirty year period (maxirrium) . In a1I cases
propert� own�rs sha11 be encouraged to retire .ioans as xapi d.Zy as that appZicant's

date earlier than scheduled in the initial loan agreement.
9. Rehabilitation Ioans may be approved to finance repairs to properties be.inq
transferred through an urban homesteading program or similar hausing rehabili-

greater ofr
(a) The total indebtedness relat.ing to the property; or
(b) 80� of the after-rehabilitation vaZue of the structure.

INCOME LIMIT CATEGORIE5
In the event the housing related expenses of an app3icant (the proper�y owTner)
exceed 25i of that applicant's monthl� income, the interest rate of the Ioan for
that applicant wi31 be reduced to the next Zowest interest rate category. Applicants
whose income is in fhe upper interesf rate category, however, sha11 not be e.ZigibZe
to have their loan reduced to lower interest rate or be e12 gible for a rehabilxfa-
ti on gran t. :
The tab2e of zncome for 1ow in�erest loans is based on the folZowing premises:
I. Loans at the lower interest rate sha11 be available to applicants whose combined
household income faZ1s at or below income Zevels which are primaril� based upon
zncome Iimits used in the 221(d) (3) program. Phe 221(d) (3) program is a
federally subsidized multi-family housing program for 1ow and moderate income
fami�ies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development assumes the responsi-
bility for setting the 221 (d) (3) income limits based on construction costs and
fa:rtily incomes.
2. I,oans at the m.iddle interest rate sha1l De available to applzcants whose combined
household income is above the Ievels used for the lawer interest rate loans, but
Zess than the income Zimits established by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency
(MHFA) for Ioan eligibility. The income Iimits of the 1�IHFA have been adopted as
the upper limit for this interest rate Zoan because of the envisioned coordination
of the local rehabilitation program with other elements of the comprehensive
effort being made to resolve housing prolaZems wi thin the Ci ty, i,e., urbzn home-
steading and the MHFA mortgage program.
3. Loans at the upper interest rate sha11 be availabZe to applicants whase combined
household income exceeds the income limits established by the MHFA. Applications
for Zoans from persons in this income category shal� be cZosely analyzed and
approved only if it has been determined that, because of factors relevant to each
applicant's case, the applicant is considered to be of Iow or moderate income.
