St. Joseph County Housing Consortium <br />recommendations to the Mayor and the Redevelopment Commission. Recommendations <br />regarding HOME funds are made to the Consortium Board. <br />Community Development Block Grant -City of South Bend <br />For the CDBG Program, the City of South Bend carries out its projects by contracting with <br />two types of entities: City Departments and nonprofit organizations, some of which are <br />community development corporations, or CDC's. The Recovery Act CDBG-R and NSP funds <br />allocated to the City of South Bend also include partnerships with City departments. <br />City Departments <br />The City of South Bend will establish contracts for delivery of specific services with the <br />appropriate City departments. These departments may include the following: <br />Department of Community & Economic Development: The Department directly, or <br />acting as staff for area nonprofits, uses CDBG funding for a wide variety of housing <br />programs for the South Bend community, including rehabilitating owner-occupied <br />homes, providing mortgage subsidies for new home-buyers, and offering home- <br />buyer education classes with a financial incentive for those who complete the course <br />and buy a home in South Bend. The Department also undertakes infrastructure <br />improvements and other slum/blight projects. ' <br />. Police Department /Crime Prevention: To strengthen South Bend's Neighborhood <br />Watch Program and pay for overtime for police to patrol crime challenged areas on <br />foot and bike during the warmer months. <br />• Department of Code Enforcement: To complete demolition activities that complement <br />housing activities. <br />• Human Rights Commission: To further fair housing in South Bend and investigate <br />claims of discrimination. <br />Nonprofit Organizations <br />Nonprofit organizations usually address two basic purposes: providing a particular kind of <br />service (such as day care, home rehabilitation, aid to the elderly, etc.) to any client who <br />meets the eligibility requirements and lives in the jurisdiction; or concentrating on <br />neighborhood revitalization, where the "client" is, in a very real sense, the neighborhood <br />itself. The first purpose is fairly straightforward and needs I'sttle explanation. The second <br />purpose involves bidding and contracting with private companies to carry out the activities. <br />The primary activity of affordable housing construction is done by community development <br />corporations (CDC's). CDC's work with, but distinctly apart from, local government <br />agencies and departments to obtain improvements in services and to effect change in policy <br />and legislation on housing and public work issues. Locally, CDC's have rehabilitated owner <br />occupied homes; acquired and rehabilitated. vacant houses for resale; rehabilitated rental <br />units; constructed new single-family units as well as apartment complexes. In addition, <br />they have been equally active on commercial structures, as needed to assist the <br />neighborhood. The primary areas in South Bend where CDC's operate are described below. <br />• Near Westside: The South Bend Heritage Foundation (SBHF) has been working in the <br />Near Westside neighborhood for more than 35 years. They have been instrumental <br />in making significant changes in this neighborhood. <br />• Near Northwest Neighborhood: The Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc (NNN), <br />founded in 1974, supports the revitalization and preservation of the neighborhood <br />through the improvement of housing, organizing and empowerment of neighbors, <br />and promotion of the neighborhood's interests. <br />. Northeast Neighborhood: The Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization <br />(NNRO), staffed by South Bend Heritage Foundation, uses CDBG and HOME funds for <br />rehabilitating older homes and constructing new ones for sale to new homebuyers in <br />the redevelopment area. NNRO is dedicated to increasing homeownership in this <br />2010-2014 Housing and Community Development Plan 19 <br />
