Montgomery County commissioners approved a consulting contract with Witt O’Brien’s LLC to support the county’s First Time Home Buyers (FTHB) program. Services stipulated the consultant’s scope of responsibilities, which included examining the current residential market and obstacles for first-time homeowners, analyzing the current program, identifying what government and nonprofit agencies are doing, and recommending “best practices that meet the needs of Montgomery County to integrate effectively into the county’s existing FTHB framework and produce a new FTHB policy and procedure manual.” The one-year, $104,170 contract will be covered by federal COVID-19 relief dollars and has the option to renew for another year if funding is available.
