RESOLUTION NO. 82-501
ESTABLISHMENT OF HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM INCOME LIMITS AND GRANT
LIMITS FOR THE CDBG PROGRAM, YEAR VIII (JULY 1, 1982 - JUNE 30, 1983)
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth believes that the Home Improvement Grant Program
provides an effective way of rehabilitating older dwellings and reducing
scarce energy resources; and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County and HUD require that each municipality set its own
income limits and grant limits for its CDBG Home Improvement Grant Program
each year; and
WHEREAS, the City in Year VII, permitted a maximum grant of $7,500/eligible
homestead and had a maximum income limit of $12,600 (annual adjusted income/
household) and has accepted applications for grants on a first come, first
serve basis and will continue to do so; and
WHEREAS, the City believes that an inflationary increase in the income limits
and maximum grant amounts is justifiable due to the increases in the cost of
living, building materials and labor; and,
WHEREAS, the Federal government has approved an increase in Social Security
benefits of 7.4 percent as of July 1, 1982 and that the City will adopt the
same percentage increase over last year's limits;

MINNESOTA, that the income limit be established at $13,500 and the grant
amount at $8,100 for qualified homeowners during Year VIII CDBG Home Improvement
