Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
The City of Smyrna requested proposals for program development, administration, case management, construction management and other services necessary to establish and maintain the City’s CDBG Home Repair Grant program. The City has allocated $50,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to assist qualified homeowners with grants for home repairs and administration. Three (3) firms submitted, and our recommendation is to award this project to Rebuilding Together-Atlanta. Rebuilding Together-Atlanta has experience managing similar projects for City of Atlanta and Veterans at Home Program. The administration fee of the program would be $12,500, bringing the project total to $62,500.
