The NAHP funds will be matched with $340,000.00 in City of Omaha Community Development Block Grant to assist seventeen (17) homeowners with the rehabilitation of their owner-occupied houses. Any owner-occupied homes in the older areas of Omaha, areas located east of 72 Street, will be eligible for assistance under the program. The program will give an emphasis to the Deer Park neighborhood, a Redevelopment Plan, which has been formally adopted by the Omaha City Council for the neighborhood. The formal plan, establish specific boundaries, and owner-occupied rehabilitation project applications received from owners within these boundaries will be given priority. Marketing efforts will be given to homeowners located within the Deer Park neighborhood — generally located between I-80 and Martha Street, from 15th to 20th Street. The Deer Park Redevelopment Plan area contains about 571 owner-occupied homes, with about 29 percent of the households with incomes below the poverty level, and about 21 percent of the homes are in fair or poor condition. The Omaha Homeowner Rehabilitation Program will revitalize the neighborhood through complete exterior rehabilitation and necessary interior rehabilitation of owner-occupied houses. All housing units assisted with NAHP funds will meet full NDED Rehabilitation Standards and the Omaha Property Maintenance Code. A healthy homes inspection will also be performed on all houses inspected. The Program will rehabilitate a minimum of 17 homes with NAHP assistance. The assistance will be in the form of a 5-year grant agreement. Eligibility is open to low- and moderate-income homeowners (80% of AMI or less).
