    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (January 14, 2016) – The city of Sedona has been awarded approximately $309,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for a city-wide housing rehabilitation program. The purpose of this grant is to provide funds for low to moderate income homeowners to make needed health and safety repairs to their homes.

    To be eligible, household income must not exceed 80% Area Median Income. Additionally, the home must meet three requirements: (1) the home must be located within the city of Sedona city limits; (2) the home and the land must be owner occupied; and, (3) the home must be a single-family unit or manufactured home.

    One of the benefits of this grant is that beneficiaries will receive a non-interest bearing, forgivable loan for the total amount of construction costs and services, secured by a recorded Deed of Trust and Promissory Note. Repayment of any loan amount up to $15,000 will be forgiven over a five-year period, loans between $15,000 and $40,000 will be forgiven over a ten-year period and loans over $40,000 will be forgiven over a 15-year period as long as the homeowner owns the home. “This is a wonderful program that requires no out of pocket costs,” said Community Development Director Audree Juhlin.

    Some possible uses that have been identified include replacing failed furnaces and air conditioning systems, replacing major appliances, repairing or replacing roofs and windows, and repairing plumbing and electrical systems. These funds can be used to provide for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) modifications to homes as well such as entrance ramps and bathroom modifications.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
