Mr. Hathaway of tie Greater South Bend Housing Corporation, at a rece t meeting, explained the 221 (h) Housing Program and igain assured that the families in the Urban Re- newaL Areas will have first priority. Many families in o r Urban Renewal Programs are eligible to buy under the 221 (h) Housing Program. Rev. Kirk stated our relationship with these people has been very good and we expe-dt project residents who qualify will be buying houses from the Greater South Bend Housing Corporation, under the 221 (h) program. Rev. Kirk also stated he is looking forward to doing more in this area. President Wiggins said this program ap- pearo to provide us with an added housing resource. b Low - Income Housing Clinic: This subject was discussed at a previous meeting and involves a very limited program, which is being considered jointly by the Urban League and the staff of the Redevelopment Department. In exploring the desir- ability of this program with the HUD officials, it was noted that there is very slim chance that the Federal Government can provide Federal financial assistance to this program due to lack of funds. This program anticipates the utilization of home purchased and rehabilitated by the Redevelopment Department. In addition to providing home - maker's services in the remodeled home,, it will also pro- vide the site for the relocation and rehabilitation staff. The present site office is located in a' building that is adjacent to the new Neighborhood Recreation Center and the Park Department would be pleased to see this building removed as soon as possible. It was the consensus of the Commission that the proposed program could serve a useful purpose. The motion was made and unanimously adopted directing the staff to move with dispatch in finalizing the procedures for the program. c Part II Application, Central Downtown Urban Renewal Project, R -66: Mr. Bellinger ap- pris d the Commission that the Part II of the ap- plication of the Central Downtown Urban Renewal Proj ct has been accepted and is now being pro- cess d by the HUD technicians. -7- RELOCATION PROGRESS REPORT, LASALLE PARK URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM R -57 LOW - INCOME HOUSING CLINIC, LASALLE PARK URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT R -57 PART II APPLICATION, CENTRAL DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT, R -66
