South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Public Hearing <br /> <br />(1) continued… <br /> <br />MR. VICTOR SEWARD, 4319 S. Main St. <br />I was a student at Project Impact. Had it not <br />been for Project Impact I probably would <br />have been in jail because I wouldn’t get any <br />funds, and then I’d turn my back on the <br />world. It would seem like the world turned <br />its back on me. But I met this program, <br />Project Impact, and I was able to get a little <br />funding. I was able to pay bills. I had a <br />better relationship with my wife. Had it not <br />been for Project Impact, I wouldn’t be here <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 /> 6 <br /> <br />
