Thank you once again John Soppanish for your latest attempt to get these long-awaited answers from the City's Community Revitalization Department on HUD-funded housing programs like the "Dollar Homes" project

CITY COUNCIL WARD 2 CANDIDATES QUESTIONS:  LESLIE FORD & A.K. SMITH - CITY'S "DOLLAR HOME" PROGRAM 

Question 1:  What do you know about the City's "Dollar Home" program of purchasing, rehabilitating and re-selling FHA foreclosed homes with HUD funds that was initiated in early 2006?

Question 2:  Of the 10 homes deeded to the City by FHA, there's six that still have not been "REHABBED" in Ward 2.  Were you aware that a sizable amount of HUD monies have been doled out for property taxes, insurance and maintenance since 2006?  Did you know that significant City staff time has been spent on this project with very little to show?

Question 3:  Have either of you ever sought information from the City's Community Revitalization Department relative to their "PLANS" for these six neglected houses?

Question 4:  Since more than "THREE YEARS" have passed since this project was initiated, did you ever question the City's ability to undertake "MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR" City Council approved plans to dramatically undertake more HUD-funded housing?
