followed about how best to qualify applicants under the CPA funded portion of the existing
HFH Critical Repair Program. The application review process was discussed anll agreed
that as amended it would be a good tool to guide the process and will be included in the grant
agreement with HFH. The key will be to only fund projects that meet all of the criteria
including being a homeowner in Beverly and owning a deed restricted affordable housing
unit that meets the requirements for preventing injury, harm, or destruction. Further
discussion ensued regarding a clawback clause or following the resale formula included in
the deed restriction that restricts resale according to the median income which typically can
be accomplished by extending the deed restriction. The final version of the application
review was amended to include flexibility to either use a clawback clause or an extension of
the deed restriction.
