| The Housing and Community
Development Division has two departments which work together and compliment
each other as we work toward fulfilling our Mission Statement. RURAL PRESERVATION PROGRAM GOAL: ONGOING ASSESSMENT OF THE HOUSING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND RESEARCH OF FUNDING SOURCES THAT CAN PROVIDE GRANTS TO MEET THESE NEEDS. The needs, and our response to meeting these needs, have taken the form of owner occupied home rehabilitation and project development. We also network and work to build relationships with other housing agencies to meet needs. Currently, we are involved with the Housing Consortium to assess and plan for a county-wide housing plan that will be used to address segments of our population and help to make all of the county's housing programs and services more assessable. This will also be used to meet present and future needs. PROGRAMS HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS: We partnered with the County of Cattaraugus to bring this programs to our community. The County is the grantee and CCA administers the grant. Many communities throughout our county have a particularly high rate of poverty and a high need for housing rehabilitation work. Through this Program we can assist homeowners with moderate repairs that address health and safety issues. These issues include: Structural corrections, well and septic work, thermal upgrades, and mechanical systems. RURAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: This Program works to create or expand local capacity necessary to assist existing owners of owner-occupied dwellings and prospective purchasers of such properties to secure funding for the purchase and/or rehabilitation of the dwellings. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT GOAL: PROVIDE QUALITY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ALL OF OUR TENANTS AS WELL AS MAINTAINING ALL BUILDINGS AND PROPERTIES TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARD We own, in limited partnerships with Cattaraugus Rural Housing Corporation, and manage 130 units of housing throughout Cattaraugus County. Also, we have an ownership position in Ellicottville Terrace, a 40-unit, one bedroom facility, but we do not provide management services. We manage one 24-unit one-bedroom apartment complex in Mayville, NY for seniors and disabled persons in which we do not have an ownership position. These units serve a variety of special needs for their tenants. All of the properties that we manage are described here. PROPERTIES USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT (FmHA): From 1985 to 1993, the construction of five projects using funds from the USDA Rural Development 515 Program and the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal Low Income Housing Tax Credit took place.
