The CHIP Loan Review Committee (LRC) met on April 17`h to determine if CHIP could provide assistance to you, based on your financial data. The LRC decided that your monthly income was within CHIP guidelines, but your savings was well over the CHIP limit. The LRC sugyested we offer you a direct bank loan with one of CHIP's Participating Lenders. They provide low interest rate and low fee loans. You would also gain the advantage of CHIP's technical assistance using CHIP funds. You decided to proceed with the CHIP program as offered at the time. Your project was added to CHIP's waiting list. In early November, Dan Erickson, CHIP Housing Improvement Inspector, and I met with you to review the scope of the project. A Lead Based Paint test was conducted at no cost to you. You and your friend, Dave, determined over the course of the next five weeks, that you would not upgrade your kitchen. You decided to do only the electrical work, which we believe is hazardous. Your friend, Dave, wanted to do some of the work and assist an electrician to save labor costs. CHIP is not aware of an electrical subcontractor who would hire or allow Dave to assist as an electrician's helper to save Iabor costs. In mid-December, you went to California for a couple of weeks. CHIP did not hear back from you. In the second week of January 2009 I phoned to ask what your plans were regarding the project. You replied that you had decided not to go through the CHIP program. CHIP is a voluntary program and you have chosen to not proceed with our program. CHIP staff is concerned that the etectrical wiring in your home is a hazard. You need to hire a qualified electrician, obtain a permit and repair the wiring and electrical systems in your home.
