FORT COV1NGTON SUN FortCovington, NY. 12937 O-mrft Second class postage paid at FortCovington, NY. 12937 Ji Established 1885 — Our Centennial Year Fort Covington, New York 12937 Price 30c USPS 205-680 Edition 287 October 3,1985 HUD Rejects Mohawk Housing Application The Mohawk Indian Housing Corpora tionapplication requesting 32 units for elderly and handicapped persons has been rejected by Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Reasons for the application found ineligible are based on HUD's determination of the threshold Criterion Number 6, Cost Containment and Modest Design. The deficiencies were in two areas: 1.) The zero-bedroom units exceed the 415 square foot limitation. 2.) gross floor area for special space and accommodations exceed the 5 percent limitation. The rejection of application was not surprising. The request for funds was extremely com- petitive because of the low number of loans issued to New York. HUD delivered and approved 10 bans to New York from a total of 36 application requests. The other reason for the ineligible application was based on the information relative to the Borrower Corporation. The application's Sponsor, Mohawk Indian Housing Cor- portion, did not provide com- plete documentation. \Although it is discouraging, this rejection won't interfere with Mohawk Indian Housing Corporation's plans to provide good homes for our elderly and handicapped community members who want improve- ment in their living conditions. The Corporation will resubmit to the HUD Chief of Housing in the coming Spring of 86',\ said Carol Lazore, Executive Direc- tor, \preparation for ijesubmis- sion will begin in October.\ Anyone who wants to make a contribution to assist the elderly and handicapped can make a check or give cash to Michael Herne, Mohawk Indian Housing Corporation Book- keeper, on McGee Road who will place the donation into an escrow account. All doners and contributors will be refunded once construction is completed.

TO ALL AREA RESIDENTS: Thank You—Thank You—Thank You— Our Harvest Bazaar was not only a financial suc- cess, it was an old fashioned fun day. And that was due to each and every person who contributed in so many ways. This was not only a community project, it was an area project. Again, thank you. We couldn't have done it with- out YOU. (Pat won't let me have the whole page to list the names individually...and that's what it would take!) Sincerely, Barbara McElwain, Co-chairman I think it might take more than one page. Actu- ally, the main reason we are not listing all the con- tributors is because we are afraid that we might miss some people. We know we would. You were all just wonderful. The community has clearly demonstrated its ability to stand on its own two feet. Through the cooperation and efforts of area residents, money was able to be raised for a public building without digging into the taxpayer's pockets...and we all had fun doing it.
