Review of Applications for Trust Fund Assistance

Fund Assistance grant in the amount of $100,000. He stated that Scott Potter [Davis Place)
had withdrawn his application with the City and plans on applying to the State on his own.

to the State Housing Trust Fund through the Iowa Finance Authority. The IFA application
deadline is December 15, with an award date the first week in February,. Doris Hingtgen
