Resolution 2013EM 057
5/8/13
Resolution Canceling Spending Authority for a Development Agreement in the amount of$100,000.00 to Salem Housing Community Development Corporation using CDBG funds for redevelopment of two (2) homes in NSP1 areas
BY THE EMERGENCY MANAGER:
During 2010, the City of Flint executed a development agreement with Salem Housing Community Development Corporation, a non-profit developer for redevelopment of homes for purchase using the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 funding. The goal of the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization
Program 1 (NSP-1) was to restore vitality to distressed neighborhoods by facilitating the acquisition, rehabilitation and resale of vacant and foreclosed single family homes.
An assessment of the NSPI program, made by City staff and HUD’s technical assistance consultants, revealed that initial work specifications were deficient resulting in the homes not being code compliant in order to be sold to low income families. To meet the goals and objectives of the NSPI program, it was determined that CDBG funds would be used to complete the two (2) homes that are still currently under construction.
Resolution #2012EFM2O1, adopted by the City’s Emergency Financial Manager on January 10, 2013, increased Salem’s development agreement potential by an additional $100,000.00. Based on a number of circumstances, City Officials have determined a different course of action to complete all NSPI-assisted homes.
CDBG funding to be cancelled is respectively found in the following revenue and expense accounts: 238-
748.478-502.748 and 238-748.478-805.327.
Funds being cancelled shall be moved to the following accounts: 238-748.101-502.748 and 238-748.101-700.100 labeled as CDBG uncommitted revenue and expense accounts, respectively.
IT IS RESOLVED, That appropriate City Officials are authorized to cancel spending authority (Resolution 2012EFM201, adopted on January 10, 2013) for a development agreement in the amount of $100,000.00 to Salem Housing Community Development Corporation using CDBG funds to redevelop two (2) homes in NSPI areas.

How far up does the corruption go>
In another thread I discussed the April 23-26, 2012 monitoring visit by Kathleen Hines, Community Planning and Development Specialist. She has been replaced by a man with the last name of Henry, who so far has only come to Flint once. Is HUD deliberately ignoring the problems in Flint or have the "dogs been called off" for some political reasons.
In 2012 the City of Flint was nearly one year behind in their NSP Performance reports. Hines found evidence of noncompliance with" CDBG and NSP regulations that will require program modifications and repayment of disallowed costs."
Under Acquisition and Rehabilitation on page 7 of the report
"Salem Housing, a nonprofit developer sub-contracted their housing rehabilitation services to Operation Unification. Construction oversight and project management was to be provided by CIG. The housing rehabilitation does not meet the city's housing code."
Finding #4- Failure to comply with applicable laws, codes, and other requirements related to housing safety, quality and habitability.
Work previously paid for had to be redone. The house at 1650 N. Grand Traverse was incomplete and the project budget doubled without the support o sufficient funding. Also the contract for the house had expired. The house cannot be sold. |

Operation Unification had multiple properties under the Acquisition, rehabilitation and resale program. The three completed properties examined by Hines were rented. Unavailable or nonexistent were proper lease-to-own or even an eligible rental structure based on tenant income structure.
"The plans for the disposition of the remaining properties remains unclear; in the development agreements have since expired without the benefit of project completions. Marketing and resale of the NSP homes has not yet been successful." |

HUD did not verify the nonprofit status of Operation Unification during their contractual period. Their stated purpose to the IRS was parental training.
The for-profit and nonprofit sides of Operation Unification shared a board and coordinated their activities together. They did not have a stated goal of housing and only included a motion adding it in their joint board minutes. Nor did the for-profit and nonprofit sides of the corporation have a contact between themselves defining their roles and expectations.
Properties of the corporation were passed around with no apparent concerns of fraudulent transfers.
Yet neither the City of Flint nor Genesee County had a face to face meeting with the principals of Operation Unification to determine if their structure met the requirements of a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and both granted them CHDO status.
This was done under Brown and Walling administrations. When the County Planning Commission asked who Operation Unification was, Omar Sims stated Young was a Beecher boy trying to do good. They got the contracts. |

It is against the law to lie on a federal application and yet HUD Office of Inspector General staff person Alexandra Graemer seemed to feel it was all right.
How high does the corruption go?.
I have seen documentation where there have been prosecutions for the same thing. Who in Flint was responsible for placing Operation Unification in repeated contracts and even causing a lawsuit. |

With over $2 million in HUD repayments and the diversion of more and more city resources to build Smith Village, it is no wonder people are fleeing the city.
Every day someone posts on a social media site how they are preparing to leave in a week or next month. Trash sits on curbs as residents are sorting out what to take or leave behind. More and more houses are abandoned and vandalized. Citizens say they don't care about the elections for council because they won't be here to vote.
Then residents in downtown express how happy they are and how wonderful their police protection is. I wonder if that will continue as there were three incidents reported on Wallenberg (by the bus station downtown) yesterday and one was with a gun. |
