Project Name: Homeowner Rehabilitation for Veterans with Disabilities

Provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant program. In the
description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative activity, and program
development related to the grant request.

Maricopa County is dedicated to providing housing services designed to address home livability, safety
concerns, energy efficiency, and accessibility upgrades. Maricopa County Human Services Department
(MCHSD) proposes a program that provides home rehabilitation that is suitably adapted to Veterans with
disabilities. After home rehabilitation, Veterans will be able to age comfortably in place by living
independently in a safe and accessible home. This program will be implemented using the existing
Maricopa County Home Improvement Program (MCHIP) guidelines and procedures. If the Veteran is
eligible for additional services, MCHSD will leverage federal and local funds to expand upon the
rehabilitation.

MCHSD currently has 47 families on its rehabilitation waitlist, 16 of those families are Veterans hoping to
obtain assistance in making the repairs needed to maintain a healthy and safe home. MCHSD will
coordinate all community referrals for this program, as well as maintain an up-to-date waitlist for
assistance. MCHSD also utilizes an online inquiry system hosted on www.Maricopa.gov which allows
interested Veterans to complete and submit a brief form to inquire about services available to them. To
be eligible for the program, Veterans must own their home in Maricopa County; be active, honorably
discharged or retired members of the armed services; have a disability; and, whenever possible, the
household annual income not exceed 80% of Area Median Income.

MCHSD will provide housing rehabilitation services to Veteran homeowners with physical or cognitive
disabilities including, but not limited to, the following types of improvements: accessibility fixture retrofits
in bathrooms and kitchens; addition of hand rails; doorway widening; reduction of trip hazards to alleviate
mobility issues; as well as ramp connection and ramp modification in order to increase structure mobility,
stability, and safety of homes.

All MCHIP improvements are made by licensed contractors. MCHSD utilizes its community-based
partnerships currently in place for efficient procurement of licensed contractors and to ensure projects
are completed in a timely manner. MCHSD will further ensure the success of this program by utilizing
currently employed and trained staff with client coordination and home rehabilitation experience
including working with Veterans and people with disabilities. Key administrative functions will be
completed by staff including: the continued review of policies and procedures, applicant intake and
approval, contract management, activity tracking in online management systems, site-visits, and grant

reporting.

Whenever possible, MCHSD will leverage existing federal funding per home to maximize the benefits to
the eligible homeowner by expanding home improvements and including additional necessary repairs, as
well providing home weatherization services to increase energy efficiency.

Detailed Budget
A detailed budget is attached.

Amount of Total Project: $109,645 Amount of 12% Request: $75,000
(No Multi-Year Request will be accepted)

If the amount of funding received is less than the amount needed for the project, do you have other
funds to complete the project? (Please Explain):

No. The program will not continue after December 2020. The success of this kind of program depends on
continued sources of funding available each year. Maricopa County intends to continue to seek additional
funding which will eliminate gaps in this service for Veterans. While federal funding is available to leverage
and augment the program and maximize benefits to the homeowners, the funding is not sufficient to carry
out the program. Maricopa County hopes the SRPMIC will consider supporting this program to expand
and build upon this important work.
