St. Joseph County Housing Consortium <br />• The number of state, local and nonprofit agencies delivering local services <br />• Cooperative attitude and dedication by service providers <br />• Willingness of service providers to accomplish goals in unique ways <br />• Relationship between government and service providers <br />Gaps: <br />• ~` Time the member jurisdictions spend interacting with each other given vast <br />responsibilities <br />• Full coordination of resources across the three jurisdictions <br />• Difficulty in providing services to rural areas -few neighborhood-based satellite <br />service facilities outside the incorporated areas of South Bend and Mishawaka <br />Delivery System for Public Housing <br />St. Joseph County is unique in that it has 2 separate Housing Authorities offering public <br />housing units. In addition, it has 3 Housing Authorities which offer subsidy vouchers in the <br />County (South Bend Housing Authority, Mishawaka Housing Authority, and the Housing <br />Assistance Office which offers vouchers generally outside of the two cities). Board members <br />of the South Bend and Mishawaka Housing Authorities are appointed by their respective <br />Mayors. The Housing Assistance Office has aself-appointed board. Other than such <br />appointments, the city administrations play no additional oversight role. The cities are not <br />involved in issues of hiring, contracting and procurement or provision of services. In <br />general, the Housing Authorities are not funded through the CDBG or HOME programs for <br />normal public housing services. The exception is funding for homeownership programs <br />through the Housing Assistance Office. Review of capital expenditures are limited to review <br />and signature on HUD required "Certification of Consistency with the HCD Plan." <br />Yet, the Housing Authority of South Bend (HASB) works in continual communication with <br />the City of South Bend's Department of Community and Economic Development, Mayor's <br />Office; and the St. Joseph County Housing Consortium. For example, in 2009, the City of <br />South Bend and the HASB have submitted joint applications to HUD for projects that would <br />increase public housing and stabilize neighborhoods in the City. Currently, the HASB is in <br />partnership with the City of South Bend on the Eddy Street Commons Project. As part of <br />this development, the HASB has committed to maintaining a public housing presence in this <br />area. <br />With a public housing occupancy rate of 97-98% percent and a Housing Choice Voucher <br />utilization rate of 100+%, there are no significant gaps in the delivery of subsidized housing <br />or tenant assistance from the Housing Authority of South Bend (HASB). In response to <br />needs expressed by local supportive service agencies, the HASB has implemented a <br />preference for homeless families and a working family preference. <br />Strengths in the delivery system for public housing in the City of Mishawaka lie in the <br />locations of properties-management capacity and the condition of the units themselves, <br />which are very good to excellent. The Mishawaka Housing Authority currently manages 299 <br />housing units. This number is insufficient to meet demand. There is also a lack of <br />emergency /immediate housing available. <br />The City of Mishawaka cooperates with the Mishawaka Housing Authority in the <br />development and operation of rental property that was renovated and developed by the <br />City. Examples include the Battell School and Mary Phillips School senior apartments. The <br />board of the Community Development Corporation (CDC) is comprised of City and Housing <br />Authority staff. The CDC is a nonprofit entity whose mission is to develop, implement and <br />2010-2014 Housing and Community Development Plan 22 <br />
