Background
|
North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center is a nonprofit community-based organization that provides much needed home repairs for low-income clients. North Peninsula’s Housing Revitalization Program performs a wide variety of repairs and installations including, but not limited to, replacement of roofs, stairways, windows, doors, furnaces and hot water heaters.
|
|
|
During the past ten years North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center has been an excellent service provider that has provided repairs to clients who live in mobile homes as well as single family units. Most of the repairs are minor and are done by North Peninsula’s own work crew.
|
|
|
Discussion
|
The demand for home repair and revitalization is growing with the County’s high cost housing situation and regular services from private contractors are either too expensive or the contractors do not want jobs that are so small.
|
|
|
North Peninsula has increased its expertise in minor home repairs and has excellent community relationships. The Department of Housing feels this is a worthwhile service and North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center has proven to be an excellent service provider doing the kind of home repairs that low and very low-income clients need the most.
|
|
|
The contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits.
Real Property Services has reviewed the agreement and County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreement as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the insurance coverage provided by the Contractor.
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact
|
This program is included in the Department of Housing Budget for FY 2007-08. The County’s total obligation under this Agreement is $120,000, from CDBG/HOME/ESG funds. There is no Net County Cost.
