Ms . Johns explained that the Kent Citizens Advisory Committee has recommended a program, and has also proposed two alternatesA The recommended ro ram was described by Ms . Johns as subsidizing the interest on home- improvement loans (with a maximum subsidy of 12% on a $3,000 loan over a five year term - $1,023 ,60 ) . This interest , suj2 program was chosen as the easiest to �'.. administer for the City and would directly benefit the homeowner wanting to repair or rehabili.tate has home, but would limit participa- tion to owners able to obtain home-improvement loans., Tne Advisory Committee has, therefore, recommended that the City attempt to develop a program for guaranteeing certain loans, an will discuss this possibility with local banks, The Committee ' s second choice program is the outs ht grant. to cover 25%oof the pro3ect cost (not to exceed $10000 ) 9 and would require more administrative controls, but would open the program to owners unable to 8e+cur6 a bank loan n " ! 3 .'
