The proposed amendment would decrease the number of small repair activities from 27 to 12 assisted properties, allowing for a budget amendment that increases the maximum assistance amount from $3,600 to $9,000 per property. This request is a result from outreach efforts identifying the current maximum assistance amount not being sufficient enough to address the housing needs as they pertain to small repairs, in these colonias. Additionally, the amendment would decrease the number of rehabilitation activities from 8 to 7 assisted properties with no change to the current maximum assistance amount which is $10,000. Numerous outreach efforts indicate that 7 assisted properties supports the demand for this type of assistance by the residents in the colonias mentioned above. The proposed changes are as follows:
 

Activity  Name	Contract Amount	Contract Beneficiaries	Proposed Amount	Proposed Beneficiaries
Public Services	10,800	300	10,000	300
Rehabilitation	80,000	32	70,000	28
Small Repair	97,200	108	108,000	40
Administration	100,000		100,000
Reconstruction	512,000	42	512,000	42
New Construction	200,000	16	200,000	16
