South Worcester NRSA-rejected again

Five months ago I submitted an application fpor $4,500 to do a roof and side a property that I own on Southgate Street through the South Worcester NRSA. Since that time I was told;

• my application was rejected since I did not live in the house and it was mailed backwith my check of $150
  
• I contested this since I did not see how owner occupancy was a requirement and I knew other NRSA's accepted applications for non-owner occupants since they were more concerned with the income of the tenants.


• After going back and forth, it was agreed that not being owner occupied did not disqualify me and I could resubmit my application.


• I was then told the application was being revised and I would have to resubmit the application with the new paperwork and instead of $150 application fee, I would have to pay $450 ($150 per unit)


• It was was then agreed that it only was $150


• After questioning where the new application was , I was told that there was no new appplication but to resubmit my initial application with a check for $150


• Last week I was told that I needed to submit my tax returns. After some discussion it was agreed that I did not have to submit my tax returns since I did not live in the property and the city only needed to track the income of whom the project actually actually lived there.

Finally after five months, I thought it was finally done.

Wednesday, I got an e-mail that the South Worcester NRSA would not accept applications from "absentee" home-owners and my application would be returned for a second time with my check.
