Agenda Item No. $R4rf o FEEL January 23, 1991 • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley RE : Purchase of 479 Fremont, Elgin, Illinois PURPOSE Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is requesting a $9,965.00 donation to complete the purchase of 479 Fremont Street. BACKGROUND • Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is an affiliate of an international organization that uses volunteer labor and donated funds and materials to build or rehab simple, decent houses for sale to low income families, at no interest or profit. Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley has been meeting since April of 1990 and already has received 20 applications for housing. Habitat is now ready to proceed with its first project in Elgin and has obtained an option to purchase the vacant lot located at 479 Fremont Street . Habitat will use the $9,965.00 donation to complete the purchase of the property and to pay for sanitary and water hook-ups and various required inspections. The actual construction of a new owner-occupied, single family residence on the vacant lot will result from the donation of labor and materials and a- fund raising campaign. Habitat 's interest in this property is by virtue of its affordability and location. The Central Elgin Neighborhood Council and the Neighborhood Housing Services are already working to stabilize this area and to instill neighborhood pride. Habitat will work to supplement their efforts and give this neighborhood back to the people. The benefit to the City of Elgin will be a newly constructed, -owner-occupied, single family residence which will contribute to the tax base of the city. 111 Habitat proposes to complete the construction of the residence within nine months of the date of purchase. Prior to construction, the Family Selection Committee will select a family , to purchase and occupy the residence . The Nurturing Committee will work with the family to prepare them for home ownership. FINANCIAL IMPACT Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is requesting a $9. 965.00 donation. Successful completion of this project will result of a newly constructed single family residence on a now vacant lot, contributing to the tax base of the city. Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley appreciates the opportunity to present this proposal to the Mayor and Members of the City Council . The successful completion of this initial project can only enhance future fund raising efforts and will allow low-income families in the northern Fox Valley to achieve the dream of home ownership. Attached for your benefit is a series of documents containing more detailed information regarding Habitat for Humanity, its procedures and this proposal . INDEX I .

By having affluent and poor work , together in equal partnership., Habitat hopes to build new relationships and a sense of community, as well as new houses. o HOW BIG IS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL Habitat for Humanity is growing explosively. There are over 450 affiliated projects in U.S. , Canadian and South African cities and more than 80 projects in 26 developing countries, with over $30 million annual income. o WHO CONTROLS AND MANAGES HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL An ecumenical board of 27 people meets three times a year to determine policy and monitor operations in conjunction with • a larger Board of Advisors. Primarily dependent upon volunteer labor, Habitat for Humanity's International Headquarters operates with an administrative staff, assisted by a core group of paid clerical and support people, supplemented by scores of volunteers. Each Habitat for Humanity affiliate and sponsored project is managed by a local volunteer board. o WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPONSORED PROJECT AND AN AFFILIATED PROJECT Sponsorship means that Habitat for Humanity International takes full responsibility for funding and securing Habitat volunteers for the project. At this time, all . Habitat sponsored projects are located in economically disadvantaged countries. Affiliated projects are independent, non-profit organizations and are responsible for their own fund raising, publicity, volunteer recruitment and staffing. The International Headquarters offers advice and assistance to all projects. o HOW. DOES HABITAT WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT Habitat accepts funds for the acquisition of streets, utilities, land or old houses needing rehabilitation, provided these funds have no provisions attached which would violate Habitat's principles. Habitat does not accept government funds for construction of new homes, renovation • or repair of existing houses or general operating expenses projects. :.::::::.......... ...... •::::::...;...:.

Mortgage payments are put into a local -."Fund for Humanity" and recycled to build new houses. New homeowners are also encouraged to contribute what they can in .addition to their monthly house payments so they, too, can help others have decent housing. • • o HOW DOES THE. PARTNERSHIP WITH HOMEOWNERS WORK Habitat is not a giveaway program, but is a joint venture in which those who benefit from the housing. ministry are involved in the work at various levels. Each family is required to invest b00 hours of 'sweat equity" toward the Habitat cause, either in the actual construction of their home or other Habitat approved projects. This reduces the cost of the house, increases the pride of. ownership among family members and fosters the development of positive relationships with other persons. • - o NOW ARE THE PARTNER FAMILIES SELECTED Low . income families* may apply Ito Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley. A Family: Selection Committee chooses homeowners based on their stability, level of need, current housing situation, willingness' to become partners in the program and their ability to repay the loan. Every project follows a non-discriminatory policy of family selection. Neither race nor religion is a :factor in choosing the families to receive Habitat houses. At this time Habitat of Northern Fox Valley has received 20 applications for the first house. • o NURTURING After the family has been chosen, --: the Family Nurturing Committee, begins . to work with them.'-- Most of these families have never had the experience of . owning property, paying taxes and insurance, maintaining a home or budgeting: It is the role of the Family Nurturing Committee to provide this support. • *According to standards set by HUD . • • • • o HOW MUCH DO THE HOUSES COST, HOW LONG DO PEOPLE HAVE 10 PAY Costs differ due to location, labor, land and materials . Currently, a house in the U. S. averages $30,000. Overseas , homes range from $1000 to $3000. Mortgages are provided on • a no-profit, no=interest basis and are issued over a fixed time period. If the purchase price is,.amortized over 20 years; which is customary, the monthly payments , plus taxes and insurance, will probably be substantially less than the -family is currently paying _for rent. • o BUILDING • As much as possible is performed by volunteers. When • skilled construction labor, • i .e. certified plumbers. electricians, or concrete workers, is required but cannot be recruited as volunteer these workers are hired. All building is done strictly ,to, code. All . property is landscaped. o MINIMUM DESIGN CRITERIA The living space provided, not including stairwell (except to basement) and exterior storage, should not be more than: 900 square feet for a 2-bedroom house. 1050 square .feet: for a 3-bedroom' house. - 1150 square feet for a 4-bedroom house. - The basic house should have only .one bathroom. This may be compartmentalized for increased usefulness or additional baths can be added by ,the. family, as part of their budget. Each house should have 'a. .Covered primary entrance. When feasible, at least one, entrance to the home should be accessible `to persons who have difficulty with mobility. All passage doors,should be 2'8" minimum width and halls should be 3"4" minimum frame to frame. These standards • allow for simple access for persons with disabilities and elderly persons and increase the cost only slightly . • • • (Do Nor write in Ibis Speool . • • ' • • NAMES b ADDRESSES OF INCORPORATORS FORM NP-102.10 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION .7 ��__ Ic (Revised 5.88/ Due Feld - The undersigned incorporator(s)hereby declares),under penalties of perjury,that the statements made in • SUBMIT ebyCo IN DUPLICATE the foregoing Articles of Incorporation are true. 90 Poyment moss be made by Codified Check,Cashiers'Check,Illinois Filing rea i50 1J ,19 , Aumney's Check.Illinois C.P.A.'e Check or Money Order,payable Clerk (/ Dated__July 10 to"Secretary of Stele."

Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Habitat for Humanity Purchase of Service Agreement (PSA) PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to forward to the Mayor and City Council a PSA with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley. • BACKGROUND On January 23, Habitat made a presentation to the City Council regarding its plans to build a house on a vacant parcel commonly known as 479 Fremont Street. The presenta- tion included a request for a $9,965 donation from the City to cover the purchase of the lot as well as various tap-on and permit fees . The City Council authorized the donation, conditioned upon _entering into a PSA with Habitat. Staff and Habitat have had discussions resulting in the attached PSA. The agreement provides for a $9,965 donation to Habitat. In exchange, Habitat will build a single family house (900-1400 SF) with basement within the next 12 months.
