SUMMARY:

                                          

The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 authorized contiguous local jurisdictions to enter a consortia for purposes of receiving funds and administering activities allowed under the HOME Investment Partnerships Act Program’s regulations.  The City of Pensacola and Escambia County entered into the HOME Consortium Agreement on June 22, 1999, which was extended by mutual agreement in May 2017, to assist with the rehabilitation of distressed housing within the City.  HOME funds are used to support the Substantial Housing Rehabilitation/Reconstruction program.  This program allows for major renovation or reconstruction of a severely substandard home.

 

The City of Pensacola is responsible for assuring compliance with all regulatory, statutory, and administrative requirements associated with HOME activities undertaken in the City.  Escambia County, as the fiscal agent, provides limited administrative authority for the program’s implementation and maintains final approval authority with regard to the expenditure of HOME activity and administrative funds.  Both jurisdictions cooperatively develop program policies, procedures, and actions required to implement the program.
