Since that <br />time, the Housing Authority has taken several actions with respect to Rabbi <br />Shulman apartments together with the Monroe Circle Apartments, many of <br />which some Council members learned about only after the fact and through <br />the media. <br />This proposed resolution emphasizes the need to create, implement and fund an <br />affordable housing initiative for South Bend through the cooperation of the Council, <br />the City, the Housing Authority and the Common Council. The resolution notes that <br />in order for the partnership referred to in the April 28, 2021, to work both <br />effectively and efficiently, must be open, honest and transparent. <br />We ask that this resolution be scheduled for discussion by the Residential <br />Neighborhoods Standing Committee at its March 28, 2022, meeting and later that <br />evening at the full Council meeting. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />(57 (.) 2:1S-9a2 l • Fax (57 (.) 2:15-9 I 7a • TDD (.57•0 2�Vi-55G7 • http://w,nr.souLhhrndin.gO\· <br />Bill No. 12-17
