Expenditure Required Account Number(s): Amount Budgeted Additional Required DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: Habitat for Humanity has requested a change in their agreement with the City of Everett in regards to the property at 1917 19th Street. The City helped Habitat for Humanity purchase the land with$40,000.00 of Community Development Block Grant funds. Since the purchase a house has been rebuilt there and is currently occupied by a low income family who are buying the structure. Habitat for Humanity and the City worked out an agreement to meet Habitat's guidelines where the land would remain under Habitat ownership for at least 20 years and they would lease the property to the low income home owner. They are now requesting that the homeowner own the property instead of Habitat for Humanity. We would put a deed of trust on the property which would be in effect for 20 years per the terms of the addendum. RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Authorize the Mayor to sign Addendum No. 1 to the Community Development Block Grant agreement for Habitat for Humanity. 16
