Regarding Item No. 21: AMENDMENT OF CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH HELP II PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR IN RESPONSE TO CHANGE IN SCOPE
OF SERVICES, Agency Vice Chairperson Sondhi asked the Community Development
Director to provide some additional information on this program.
The Deputy Executive Director stated the HELP II Program is the home rehabilitation
loan program sponsored by the City through housing set-aside obligations. Eligible
residents can make an application to rehabilitate their single-family, detached home.
Currently, U.S.E. Community Service Group administers both the loan underwriting and
processing component, and construction management. U.S.E. has contacted the City
and informed staff they will be discontinuing the construction management portion
because it is not profitable. Staff agreed to amend the contract with U.S.E. and U.S.E.
agreed to continue to provide construction management at a higher rate until another
resource or option is found. Staff does not anticipate more than two or three loans at
this higher rate.
It was moved by Agency Vice Chairperson Sondhi and seconded by Agency Board
Member Piercy, that the Cypress Redevelopment Agency authorize the Executive
Director to execute the New Contract Services Agreement with U.S.E. Community
Services Group for continued administration of loan servicing duties for the HELP II
Program.
