Funding for general government facilities is principally from general obligation debt (bonds) of the City of Everett. Other funding is from the City's general fund. 7. Public Housing The City of Everett prepares a Consolidated Plan as a requirement of obtaining federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds. The plan describes the needs of low- and moderate-income Everett residents and the ways in which funds will be used to address those needs and the three basic goals of HUD programs whish are to provide decent housing, create a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities. Everett's plan is coordinated with Snohomish County's Consolidated Plan. The plans must be updated every five years; a new plan is currently being prepared. Public Housing issues for the city are addressed through this plan. The City has built public housing financed through general obligation debt. However, the City does not operate such housing. The City works in partnership with the Everett Housing Authority and non-profit housing service providers by applying federally funded programs to these service providers. Everett added 15 new assisted housing projects between 1995 and 2002, with a total 424 units. Owners include the Everett Housing Authority, Housing Hope, Senior Services of Snohomish County, Friends of Youth and Compass Health. The city's Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) is administered by the City for housing rehabilitation,providing assistance to both homeowners and landlords. It is entirely funded by the federal government and private lending participation. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 27
