<br />develop housing assisted by HOME and CDBG funds for low -moderate income households. The funds will assist
<br />with the following efforts:

<br />• Design, construction and/or rehabilitation of residential properties;
<br />• Design, construction and/or rehabilitation of commercial properties;
<br />• Counseling of potential new homebuyers;
<br />• Organizing and evaluating potential co-op residents;
<br />• Selling properties to income -eligible households;
<br />• Mortgage investment/down payment assistance;
<br />• Foreclosure counseling;
<br />• Business assistance activities serving low to moderate income areas;
<br />• Promote effective partnerships;
<br />Outcome: The requested CDBG funds will increase the organization's ability to develop properties through
<br />rehabilitation or acquisition of housing. Support will enable the organization to pay costs relative to program
<br />delivery to assist low- and moderate -income persons obtain homeownership, aid in the prevention or elimination of
<br />slums or blight, and work to meet urgent community needs relative to property development projects in the Near
<br />Northwest Neighborhood of South Bend.
