Affected Council District(s) or citywide? Citywide

 

Contract Control Number: HOST-202161588-01

 

Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Denver Urban Renewal Authority

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

Scope of work: Funds will be used to remove architectural/accessibility barriers for income-qualified persons with disabilities in their owner-occupied or rental units; and to fund a portion of the staff salaries to operate the program.

 

a.                     The intent of this activity is to provide a minimum of 60 program participants with accessibility improvements to their rental or owner-occupied housing. Each program participant’s income cannot exceed fifty percent (50%) of the area median income as defined by HUD. Program participants or someone in their household must be persons with disabilities who meet the Americans with Disabilities Act definition of disability. Rental grantees must have an existing 12-month lease with their landlord in order to participate in RHAMP. Additionally, program participants may not be eligible for any other City-funded rehab access program. Participants must be residents of the City and County of Denver and must reside in the housing for which the modification is being made.

b.                     RHAMP is designed to make grants up to $10,000 available to qualified households. Regarding rental units, these grants will only be offered with a waiver from the property owner guaranteeing not to increase the grantee’s rent based on the improvements to the units. Improvements may include installation of roll-in bathtubs or showers, grab bars, stair lifts, handrails, ramps, and other accessibility improvements.

c.                     All modifications to the landlord’s or homeowner’s property shall remain with the property when the grantee moves out. If the amount of the rehab exceeds the $10,000 maximum, a written waiver must be provided to the HOST contract administrator prior to the commencement of construction to approve. A copy of this waiver is to be filed in the HOST project file as well as the original in the DURA client’s file.
