7-0 Council Member E. Denise Lee feels that the Rental Rehab
Loan Program needs to be re-structured; to her, the same people are the recipient
of the funds year end and year out.

for rehab work as much as multi-family units.

should review this program. Ms. Elaine
Spencer, Chief of the Housing and Community Development Division explained
what the program entailed and fielded questions. |
