Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation 2 July 7, 2008 exceeded both goals as it has awarded 11 loans and 21 grants. See attached Exhibit A for a summary of FY 2007-08 program accomplishments to date. Neighborhood Solutions also increased the size of its general contractors list to 19 in FY 2007-08 so that homeowners have more options to bid on their rehab projects. For the new fiscal year, Neighborhood Solutions will be seeking some experienced and certified greenbuilding contractors to add to the list and to explore integrating "green" renovation practices into the program. The Agency conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) last fiscal year for the administration of the City Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program and Neighborhood Solutions was selected based on its successful track record in administering the program since FY 2003-04, when .the Agency ended its contract with Alameda County Community Development Agency. Both the $600,000 program budget in FY 2008-09 and the administrative budget of $144,000 reflects no change from FY 2007-08.
