South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />talking to you. I thank God for Project <br />Impact. I’d like to thank the Reverend. I’d <br />like to thank the Redevelopment <br />Commissioners. It turned my life around, <br />and a lot more people. Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. RALPH W. LANDRUM III, 1711 W. <br />Dunham St. Project Impact has done a lot <br />for me in the past year or so. This program is <br />not just for employment status, it’s for <br />helping people who have been in and out of <br />jails. I can honestly speak for myself and <br />others who are in my position that without <br />this program, there was not much hope. Loss <br />of faith and self esteem. I’m in kind of a <br />tight situation at this time. Outside of the <br />fact of being a felon, I’m a registered sex <br />offender. It makes it very difficult for me to <br />find a job. But I can honestly say that with <br />this program, no matter what the <br />circumstances are, I can get through it. I’ve <br />been with this program from the beginning, <br />and I’ll be in it to the end. I hope that <br />everything falls into place, because they are <br />really good people. I hope there are more <br />people like them around to give us all a <br />chance in society, when society really <br />doesn’t want to give us that chance. I want <br />to say, “thank you very much.” <br /> <br />MR. WALLACE WILLIAMS 12 4 St. <br />Paul’s Place. I’ve been involved in Project <br />Impact since the beginning. I don’t know if <br />the Commission thinks Project Impact is a <br />program to get you a job, but before they <br />even try to get you a job, they try to get you <br />job-ready. They try to transform your mind <br />and your thinking about how you are going <br />to be an employee out on the job. Everything <br />that these two gentlemen before me said is <br />Project Impact. But even more, I’d like to <br />speak on redevelopment and how you might <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
