Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• The Town of Erie entered a Subrecipient Agreement with Weld County for the CDBG funds on November 19, 2024, to fund the home repair program.
• Work is currently underway or planned for seven properties in Old Town Erie, with completion dates that will extend into 2026.
• Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. is amenable to an extension to the contract to facilitate completion of open projects.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Town of Erie applied for grant funding under the Weld County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in 2024 to establish a Housing Rehabilitation Program for low/moderate income owner-occupants of mobile/manufactured homes in Old Town. Weld County awarded the Town with $167,000 in grant funds to initiate the program. The Erie Housing Repair Program provides up to $15,000 in funding per home to address health and safety issues, install needed accessibility improvements, and energy efficiency improvements.
The Town entered a CDBG Subrecipient Agreement with Weld County in November, 2024, to receive and administer the funds. This agreement was recently amended in December, 2025, to extend through September 30, 2026. The program is run by Brothers Redevelopment, Inc., with whom the Town of Erie contracted in February, 2025. Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. has experience in evaluating home repair needs, administering housing rehabilitation programs, and facilitating needed improvements.
Staff estimate that the CDBG grant funds will aid 10 homeowners in total with the allocated budget. Currently, seven homeowners are active in the program, with two currently undergoing repairs and five retaining contractor estimates and scheduling repairs. Extending the Professional Services agreement with Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. into mid 2026 will ensure the intended use of the CDBG funds. An extension of the contract with Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. is also required to continue administration of the program.
