BVDC gets funds
Rent aid possible
By LYLE LOVETT
Battalion Staff
Long sought funding for a housing
subsidy program in Brazos and sur
rounding counties may at last be
available to residents, including
some Texas A&M University stu
dents.
The Brazos Valley Development
Council will administer the assis
tance program using funds from the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
BVDC officials are a little skepti
cal, since they have been trying to
get the money since February,
1978. But HUD officials say that the
availablitV of the money is “immi
nent.
Once the funds are available, the
BVDC will review applications for
subsidies on a first-come first-serve
basis.
Anyone meeting the require
ments, even a student, is eligible for
a subsidy 7 , Delwin Rhode, the
BVDC rural housing coordinator,
said. But the plan is primarily in
tended “to take care of the elderly 7
and disabled.”
“Of course, he added, “that
doesn’t mean we won’t take care of
the rest if we can. Every’ case, you
have to boil it down. We ll take
them in the order they come in.
To qualify for a subsidy, residents
must meet requirements based on
income, rent, and family and dwell
ing size.
Rhode said the program requires
at least 30 percent of the units be
used to subsidize “very low-income
families. Maximum income for this
classification in Brazos county-
ranges from $4,000 per year for a
single person living in a one-
bedroom dwelling, to $6,425 per
year for a family 7 of six living in a
four-bedroom dwelling.
Rhode said that remaining units
will be allocated to other low-
income residents and that maximum
incomes for that group will be made
public when the BVDC receives
funding.
The BVDC has requested funding
for 150 "assistance units.’’ Brazos
county is to receive 97 units. The
remaining 53 units will be divided
between Burleson, Grimes, Leon,
Madison, Robertson and Washing
ton counties. The amount of money
allocated for each assistance unit
will be determined by- HUD, Rhode
said.
The amount of the subside will
vary with family size. The BVDC
will assign each case a maximum
subsidy determined on an indi
vidual basis.
A resident who qualifies for the
subsidy will contribute 25 percent of
his income to rent payment. The
subsidy will pay the remainder of
the rent.
At least, that’s how it will work if
the money arrives.
The BVDC has applied four times
for HUD funds since last February.
The first three applications were not
approved. But the last, submitted in
December, has been, HUD
spokesman Jim Wilson said. The
December application was submit
ted too late to receive any funding in
1978, Wilson said.
Rhode said funding was promised
by January 1, but the BVDC has yet
to receive any money from HUD.
“The reason for the delay,” Wilson
said, “is we haven t received our 79
funds. But it is imminent.
Wilson said HUD hinds should
be available to the BVDC by the
first part of February.
Rhode said that HUD s delay was
not unusual.
“At that time, ” Rhode said, “they
said their funding hadn’t happened
and it would be another three
weeks. But I ve been told that for a
year. The only satisfaction I have is
that the state made application for
this HUD funding too—for other
counties, not ours—and they 7 haven’t
heard anything either.
