St. Joseph County Housing Consortium <br />Ministries concentrates on the HIV-positive, Youth Service Bureau concentrates on youth, <br />YWCA concentrates on homeless women escaping spousal abuse, and the Center for the <br />Homeless concentrates on general homelessness. <br />The Department of Housing & Urban Development does have some specific ESG submission <br />requirements. The homeless provider that receives ESG funding, must match Federal funds <br />dollar for dollar. Matching funds generally come from sources such as: <br />• Donations and non-federal grants <br />• United Way funding <br />• Volunteer labor <br />The HOME Program <br />The HOME funding is allocated among the three participating jurisdictions by formula. In <br />South Bend and Mishawaka, the HOME funds are generally used to increase and <br />complement the affordable housing activities undertaken with CDBG funds. <br />In recent years, the City of Mishawaka has invested its HOME fund allocation in providing <br />housing for senior citizens and new home construction for first time homebuyers. In 2010- <br />2014, HOME funds will be directed exclusively toward Mishawaka's First-Time Homebuyer <br />Program. The intent of this activity is to strengthen and improve neighborhoods through <br />the construction of single-family homes on cleared lots in the City's inner city <br />neighborhoods. HOME funds are utilized to provide down payment and closing cost <br />assistance as well as infrastructure improvements. As previously mentioned, it is <br />anticipated that 100% of the HOME funds allocated in 2010-2014 will be utilized in the <br />Milburn Boulevard Neighborhood. <br />In the remaining portion of the County, the availability of HOME dollars allows the County to <br />participate in affordable housing projects as well. In recent years, a good deal of the <br />County's money has been used to help revitalize the West York neighborhood in the Town of <br />Walkerton. Originally built as temporary housing for a local munitions plant, the two unit <br />structures had not stood well the test of time. Narrow streets made the small community <br />hazardous for the residents as emergency vehicles cannot safely use the original streets. A <br />comprehensive plan has been developed with the town and the Housing Assistance Office to <br />make significant improvements in the neighborhood. Much has been done to date, but it <br />was recognized at the onset that the full project would take many years to complete. While <br />there is no specific commitment to fund the project every year, it is anticipated that future <br />HOME funds will be requested from time to time, until the entire neighborhood has turned <br />around. Funds allocated in 2010 will be for rehabilitatign of owner-occupied homes given <br />the spike in interest with the current economic climate and the desire of owners to stay in <br />their homes longer. <br />The Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc., has been designated as a Community Housing <br />Development Organization (CHDO). As mandated by HUD, at least 15% of each year's <br />funding must be used by CHDOs for certain CHDO-eligible projects. <br />Delivery System <br />The following are strengths and gaps in the local delivery system: <br />Strengths: <br />• Ability of local nonprofit agencies to deliver quality services <br />• Ability of entitlement communities to leverage dollars <br />2010-2014 Housing and Community Development Plan 21 <br />
