<br /> <br /> <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority Minutes <br />November 3, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> No one appeared for open forum. <br /> <br />6. GENERAL BUSINESS <br /> <br /> 6.1 Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Update <br /> Mr. Mollan stated that the packet listed $150,000 available but, with the loan in June 2025, the amount <br />is reduced to roughly $140,000. Mr. Mollan stated he had received some inquiries from the Center for <br />Energy and Environment (CEE) which may result in new loans by the new year. <br /> <br />Mr. Mollan also mentioned that the contract with the CEE expires at the end of 2025. The CEE <br />origination fee is proposed to increase $75 per loan. The Commission was in favor of continuing the <br />agreement and an agreement will come to a future HRA meeting for approval. <br /> <br />Chair Chuba asked if the agreement should be longer than one year. Mr. O'Neil stated that having the <br />agreement annually gives more flexibility. <br /> <br />7. OPEN DISCUSSION <br /> Mr. O'Neil stated that Associated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AOMS) have moved into their <br />building. Mr. Mollan has worked to complete an agreement with Main Street Family Services to <br />distribute $50,000 of Statewide Affordable Housing Aid (SAHA) funds to the group over 18 months. <br /> <br />Mr. O'Neil stated that he has continued a conversation with Habitat for Humanity on a list of potential <br />sites. Habitat for Humanity would want a decision on a site by spring 2026 in order to work with the <br />school district on their timeline. <br /> <br />Commissioner Beaudry clarified that Habitat for Humanity was looking for a lot, not a building to <br />remodel. Mr. O'Neil confirmed that the lot in question would require demo and cleanup. <br /> <br />8.
