Survey says:
Insurance to fund home rebuilding after fire
HUD Awards $18.6 Million to assist homeless programs in Colorado
Optimism remains Americans still view homeownership as a smart long-term decision

U
.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan today awarded nearly $18.6 million in funding to keep 84 of local homeless assistance programs in Colorado operational in the coming year. The grants announced today form a critical foundation for the Obama Administration’s Opening Doors strategy, the nation’s first comprehensive plan to prevent and end homelessness. Funding will be provided to partners in Colorado’s three Continuum of Care groups: • Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative — $14,007,144; • Colorado Springs and El Paso County — $1,691,400; • Colorado Balance of State — $2,934,992; and the total amount awarded for the entire state of Colorado is $18,633,536. The announcement also comes just a week before thousands of volunteers in nearly every city and county conduct a national one-night count of homeless persons and families. HUD’s Let’s Make Everybody Count! campaign is intended to document trends in homelessness that are crucial to local planners’ efforts to prevent and end homelessness in their areas. “There is a tremendous need on our streets and in our shelters among those experiencing both long-term homelessness as well as families confronting a sudden economic crisis,” Donovan said. “These grants are the life blood for thousands of local housing and service programs that are doing the heavy lifting to meet President Obama’s goal of ending homelessness.” In June, 19 federal agencies and offices that form the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) submitted to the President and Congress the nation’s first comprehensive strategy to prevent and end

Q
uestion: Our house caught fire at the end of last month. The fire marshal condemned our home. We got what we could out of the home and are trying to get back into our normal daily routine. We plan to have our home rebuilt. Our insurance representative explained to us our policy and about using their preferred contractors. We have met with one such contractor, they seem good, and we have references from them to call. Do you have an opinion on this program? Although our initial impression of their preferred contractor is positive, we can’t find much consumer information on this online and think the opinion of a disinterested party would be wise before we sign up. Answer: We’re sorry to hear about your unfortunate event of last month. How fortunate that nobody was hurt or injured in the fire. Working with insurance companies on fire losses can be a tricky situation, because if you aren’t savvy about how you navigate the landscape, you could wind up with less money to rebuild your home. Some insurance companies are better than others. If you have a recommendation for a contractor from the insurance company, you should use every means at your disposal to investigate them. You might try the Better Business Bureau, your local city building department and any people they

portant that the MID remain in place. “At a time when the middle class is under increasing economic pressures, both homeowners and renters agree that the mortgage interest deduction should not be targeted for change,” Phipps said. “Given strong public support of and aspirations toward owning a home, we need to keep policies in place that support and encourage responsible, sustainable home ownership for our future.” This survey was conducted online within the U.S. and fielded October 6-20, 2010. A total of 3,793 adults, 18 and older were surveyed, including 1,880 home owners, 1,115 renters, and 798 young adults. All samples came from the Harris Poll online database and were weighted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income to be representative of the U.S. general population of adults 18 and older. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online. Results are available online at www.realtor.org/stats anddata/homeownership/ attitudes_homeown.

have referred you to. Just make sure that you are being referred to clients they most recently assisted and not people they helped out five years ago. You should also make sure that the company is properly licensed in your state and carries the right amount of insurance The reputation of your insurance company in your area is also important. If your insurance company has a good reputation for assisting homeowners in your situation, you might be in better shape than if your insurance company doesn’t deal well with homeowners. Before you accept any settlement to rebuild your home, make sure you have an independent architect or qualified home builder review the plans and specifications with you. You are building a new home. You need to know what will be included in the price tag and what you’ll have to pay for outside of the insurance proceeds. Your perception of the end product may be quite different from what your insurance company and its contractors believe should be the end result. There are experts out there who can help you go through the process, and you may well want to find one to help you. You also need to understand the terms of your insurance policy before you sign on the dotted line. You need to know what responsibility your insurance company will have to rebuild your home, to what extent, and with what finishes. Some insurance policies will limit the extent to which a home will be rebuilt. Some of these limits may arise due to the age of a home. If a home was built 100 years ago, the home built now may require differences in construction materials, layouts, and other life and safety improvements. All of these changes may cost more money, and you need to know whether your policy will cover all of these changes before you start reconstruction of the home. Once you know more and understand what you are getting, you’ll have a better idea if the contractor will act on your side, or if the contractor is trying to meet the budget set by the insurance company. Your insurance company’s budget may not be good enough for you, and you may need to get other estimates to make sure that the home is built as you would have expected. 03-321058

H&RE Front Range Gardening Expert design tips to get your landscape in shape
Award-winning breeds great for the garden CAROL O'MEARA CSU EXTENSION
ARITICLE RESOURCE ASSOCIATION
G
etting your garden started seems simple: you dream big, make wish list, then with warm weather, head to the garden center to pick out your plants. But as those doors slide open to the warm, moist air of the greenhouse, a daunting tableau unfolds: bench after bench filled with seedlings, rolling racks bursting with trays, containers crowding floors, until all that’s left is a narrow path snaking down aisles. At this point, gardeners react either in frenzy, gathering everything within grasp until their cart resembles a Dr. Seuss tower; or in fear, by turning on their heels and fleeing to a more orderly locale. This is understandable: when facing an ocean of plants, how do you know which plants will work, or what to avoid? “When I first started gardening and went to the store, I was in awe of what they offered; overwhelmed by the number of plants available,” said Diane Blazek, Executive Director for All America Selections, an organization dedicated to testing and recommending plants for gardens in North America (all-americaselections.org). “But most gardeners just want to know ‘what’s going to do well in my yard?’”
“The seed breeding world is competitive; everybody wants their products in front of gardeners. — Diane Blazek, Executive Director for All America Selections
T Photos courtesy AAS
The first seven AAS winners of the year were announced and include, from left, Gaillardia ‘Arizona Apricot,’ Ornamental ‘Glamour Red’ and Salvia ‘Summer Jewel Red.’ Putting plants through rigorous trials since 1932, All America Selections winnows out the best of the best, finding tough plants that are star performers in almost every garden. Capturing a coveted “AAS Award Winner” designation is like getting the Better Homes and Gardens Seal of Approval, said Blazek, because if they do well in 30 trial gardens across the U.S., they’ll probably grow in your backyard. “The seed breeding world is competitive; everybody wants their products in front of gardeners. There must be a way to ensure that they live up to their claims, if not, breeders can say whatever they want but it’s not always true,” she said. To put their claims to the test, corporations, individuals, and universities developing plants enter the yearly trials. “We have plants from large seed companies, but we like to give smaller guys a chance too, like Gordon Smith. He was breeding peppers in his Illinois backyard, entered and won — now we have Cajun Belle, a pepper developed in his home yard.“ Once the breeder has what they think is a winner, the journey from seed to celebri-

he chill of winter winds might have you wishing for the first buds of spring, but garden lovers don’t need to let the cold season get them down. In fact, this can be the ideal time to start planning your landscape for spring and summer. Leaving the work until the last minute, when plants are starting to push up through the ground, will only delay your enjoyment. So harness your excitement for spring and prepare a plan with some expert help. Tackling a landscaping plan can be overwhelming, so it’s a good idea to consult a professional landscape designer who knows the ins and outs of when, where and how to plant and how to install hardscapes. By starting in the winter designers will be more readily available to help you refine your plans, and you’ll be ready to get a head start as soon as the weather breaks. “There are so many details involved in creating the landscape of one’s dreams that it’s easy to become confused,” said Bobbie Schwartz, president of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD). “A landscape designer will be experienced in taking on the multiple unique challenges that every property poses. In the long run, hiring a professional, who will get it done right the first time, can save money. That professional will keep you from making expensive mistakes.” Here are some tips from professional landscape designers that will inspire you to get started with your plans right now. • Consider the view. Is there a certain room from which you tend to spend more time looking out at your landscape? If so, take the time to really examine what you’re seeing. Take note — literally — of anything that catches your eye, good or bad. Follow the sightlines, and notice where they take your eyes. This will give you a better defined idea of what you want to accentuate, what you want to hide, and what could be adjusted through simple changes like pruning or minor transplanting. • Collect inspiration. Flipping through magazines with colorful photos of beautiful gardens is always fun, but it can also be practical. Pull out pages that feature ideas or plants that you’d like to incorporate into your landscape design. Be sure to look at smaller photos, which often have a hard time standing up to full-page images, as they can be just as rich with ideas. Creating a file of images that inspire and excite you is a good idea, and it can be a great way to connect with your landscape designer when you meet. • Think curb appeal. Having a beautiful backyard retreat is often the goal of a landscaping project, but the view that guests and passersby have is just as important. A well-designed landscape can emphasize your home’s beauty and diminish any potential eyesores, making it more appealing to you, your neighbors and any potential buyers. According to the Journal of Environmental Horticulture, it’s been shown that well-designed landscapes can increase home sale prices up to 10.8 percent, compared to homes with simply average landscapes. Thinking about spring is easy in the middle of winter. Instead of just daydreaming about spending warmer days in a beautiful garden, start planning to make that dream a reality. Get in touch with a landscape designer who can help you by going to www.apld.org and clicking on Find a Designer. If you and your designer have a plan in place ahead of time, you’ll be able to spend less time working on the project in the spring and more time enjoying it.

homelessness. The full report is titled Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. The plan puts the country on a path to end veterans and chronic homelessness by 2015; and to ending homelessness among children, family, and youth by 2020. Last September, HUD announced that it would renew funding through HUD’s Continuum of Care programs to existing local programs as quickly as possible to prevent any interruption in federal assistance. HUD will award funds to new projects later in the year. HUD’s Continuum of Care grants provide permanent and transitional housing to homeless persons as well as services including job training, health care, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and child care. Continuum of Care grants are awarded competitively to local programs to meet the needs of their homeless clients. These grants fund a wide variety of programs from street outreach and assessment programs to transitional and permanent housing for homeless persons and families. HUD’s homeless assistance grants are reducing long-term or chronic homelessness in America. Based on the Department’s latest homeless assessment, chronic homelessness has declined since 2005 due to significant investments to produce thousands of units of permanent supportive housing for those who had been living on the streets. While the total number of homeless persons in America dropped slightly between 2008 and 2009, the number of homeless families increased for the second consecutive year, almost certainly due to the ongoing effects of the recession. In the last 10 days of January, volunteers from across the country will attempt to count the number of homeless persons living in shelters and on the streets as part of a national point-in-time count. For more information about HUD’s “Let’s Make Everybody Count!” campaign, visit www.hud.gov/homelesscount. Based on HUD’s 2009 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), volunteers throughout the nation counted 643,000 homeless people during a given night in January 2009. In addition, HUD found that during 2009, 1.54 million people used emergency or transitional housing programs in 2009. A typical sheltered homeless person is a single, middle-aged man and a member of a minority group. Of all those who sought emergency shelter or transitional housing during 2009, the following characteristics were observed: • 78 percent of all sheltered homeless persons are adults; • 61 percent are male; • 62 percent are members of a minority group; • 38 percent are 31-to-50 years old; • 64 percent are in one-person households, and • 38 percent have a disability. In addition to HUD’s annual grant awards, HUD allocated $1.5 billion through its new Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) Program. Made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, HPRP is intended to prevent persons from falling into homelessness or to rapidly re-house them if they do. To date, more than 750,000 persons have been assisted through HPRP.
