JCHA will pay relocation expenses for tenants. It will be necessary to

the purchase.

rehab process. Sally Payne will be meeting with both entities and will
have more information for the Authority at the next meeting. Wheat Ridge

with these properties. Authority members indicated they would like to do
similar rehab work as in the past. Janice Thompson commented that she
would like to see features that would accommodate people with
disabilities in some of the houses. Joe DeMott commented that he would
like to expand square footage on at least one house. Katie Vanderveen
