CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – August 14, 2025 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />• Substance use treatment <br />• Legal assistance <br />• Employment support <br /> <br />There are 16 more requirements listed in the agreement exhibit, which <br />the Commission can review. <br /> Reporting Requirements: <br />After the center is completed, the New Day team must submit <br />an annual report to the Commission for 10 years, showing they’re <br />meeting all post-construction standards. These requirements are <br />outlined in Exhibit E of the development agreement. <br /> Funding Resolution No. 3646: <br />The final item is a resolution to begin the forgivable loan process, <br />using Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds. <br /> <br />• Funds will come from three commercial TIF districts: <br />• River West: $2.4 million <br />• River East: $1 million <br />• Southside: just under $500,000 <br /> <br />Although the project isn’t located in all three districts, the city believes it <br />benefits the entire community, which is why funding is being drawn <br />proportionally from each. <br /> <br />Vice President Relos asked about details of the phases. Sheila <br />McCarthy, Executive Director of the New Day Intake Center, explained <br />that the project is being built in two phases: <br /> <br />Phase One: <br />• Includes the administration building (called the Blue Center). <br />• Builds half of the shelter units—think of it as one side of the full <br />layout. <br />• This phase is 94% funded, with support from HOME ARP funds. <br /> <br />Phase Two: <br />• Covers the remaining shelter units—the top section of the layout. <br />• The goal is to start Phase Two right after Phase One, to keep <br />momentum and simplify funding and planning. <br /> <br />Sheila emphasized that this phased approach helps the team manage <br />such a large project and build on the success they’ve already had at <br />the Lincoln Way West location. For example, this summer alone, <br />they’ve helped place a dozen people into housing.
