APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
David Meacham, with the Statesville Housing Authority, Provides an Update
on the Scattered Site Housing Community Development Block Grant: Statesville
Housing Authority Director David Meacham said 57 applications had been received for
housing rehabilitation assistance, and 36 of these qualified. He said the 36 applicants
were distributed throughout the county as follows: 23 from the Statesville city area, 2
from Harmony, 6 from Troutman, and I from Mooresville. Mr. Meacham said he, and
the Site Selection Committee appointed by the board of commissioners, reviewed the
applications and selected the applicants based on age and income criteria. He said 14
candidates were then chosen to receive assistance in the first-round of funding.
Meacham said the rehabilitation construction supervisor and a licensed contractor
inspected each home, and the ownership records were thoroughly reviewed. He said the
income and employment status of each family member residing in the home were also
verified. Mr. Meacham continued by saying bids for the work would soon be received,
and it was estimated the renovations would be completed by July of 2004. He said that
at the end of the construction phase, any remaining funds would be directed towards the
other qualifying applicants. In addition, he said that due to the tremendous need in the
county for this type of assistance, a request would probably be made in the future for
authorization to seek similar grants.
