Clackamas County intends to amend the Consolidated Plan in the following manner:

Program Year 2011-2012 (2011 Action Plan)

1. Clackamas Heights Redevelopment – Year 1 (2011/0020)  #1161 – Redevelopment of the 20 acre Clackamas Heights public housing park located east of Apperson Blvd. in the City of Oregon City.  HOME funds would be used for the construction of affordable rental and home ownership units.  This project has been cancelled.  HOME funds in the amount of $700,000 will be reprogrammed into 2 affordable housing projects.
2. Hollyfield Village Apartments – The Hollyfield Village Apartments is an existing affordable rental housing project that consists of 30 units (28 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments) in a single three-story elevator-served building.  Originally built in 1982, the project has reached its 30 year term of affordability.  Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) has proposed to preserve the project’s affordability by using HOME funds to acquire and rehabilitate.
Hollyfield Village currently serves very low income seniors, many of whom may be considered frail elderly or have a mental or physical disability.  The preservation of the Hollyfield Village Apartments will further the County’s goal to meet the needs of special needs populations by assuring that these existing special needs residents are not displaced. This is a new activity.  $200,000 of HOME funds will be reprogrammed from the cancelled Clackamas Heights Redevelopment activity.
3. Sandy Family Housing – The project will provide 56 units of newly constructed affordable rental housing for families and singles in the City of Sandy.  The large site will allow ample space for outdoor facilities such as a playground, community building, and individual storage.  Units will be a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom units with balconies or patios.  This is a new activity.  $500,000 of HOME funds will be reprogrammed from the cancelled Clackamas Heights Redevelopment activity.
4. Clackamas Heights Redevelopment – Year 1 (2011/0014)  #1154 – Redevelopment of the 20 acre Clackamas Heights public housing park located east of Apperson Blvd. in the City of Oregon City.  CDBG funds would be used for demolition, construction of new streets, sidewalks, sanitary and storm sewers, new utilities and other off-site improvements.  This project has been cancelled.  CDBG funds in the amount of $235,123 will be reprogrammed into the Contingency Fund.
5. Activities Toward Enrichment (A.T.E.) Flooring Rehabilitation Project – The project will resolve substandard flooring conditions at the ATE facility located at 18320 SE Oatfield Road in Gladstone, Oregon.  Work will consist of structural evaluation, redesign and construction.  The facility is operated by Exceed Enterprises which provides employment, job placement services, and vocational training for people with disabilities.  The ATE facility is part of a continuum of services provided by Exceed Enterprises.  This facility provides a diverse mix of services and activities to individuals with developmental disabilities aimed at providing meaningful daily structure and support, independence and a sense of personal fulfillment.  This is a new activity.  $60,000 of CDBG funds will be reprogrammed from the Contingency Fund.
