EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Statement of the Problem (a comprehensive assessment of community conditions): As indicated by the following data, the proposed W&S site is characterized by violent crime, an increasing trend in juvenile offenses, significant unemployment, low educational attainment, and housing abandonment. The area includes what was the first redevelopment area in the inner city in the 1980s, a neighborhood which, though improved, has dealt with continued challenges since then. Much of the improvement has been the result of the support, commitment, investment, and partnership of strong community development corporations, the City, and area residents. The weeding focus of the strategy will be greatly elevated through more targeted activities while the seeding will complement previous as well as existing and planned investments. F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Weed&Seed\2008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application.doc FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION The population of the proposed area is 12 percent of the city's total population, but more than 26 percent of all adult crimes occurring citywide, including drug and weapons violations, homicides, and arsons occurred within the proposed area (2003-2006). ]uvenile arrests show a similar concentration and indicate disturbing trends, increasing from 2004 to 2006. The proposed Weed & Seed area neighborhoods once housed a variety of socio-economic groups. But since the 1960s, unemployment and poverty has been concentrated there in higher percentages than in the city as a whole. The low educational attainment of the area can contribute to unemployment and crime. Thirty-six percent of all 16-19 year olds are not enrolled in school and 32 percent of those 25 and older have no high school diploma. Poverty perpetuates this cycle: in one elementary school in the proposed area, 86 percent of students qualify for free lunch. Many housing units in the proposed area lack the amenities to attract buyers with the financial means to properly maintain them. Housing abandonment has increased. From 2000 to 2007, the number of vacant and abandoned units in the proposed area increased from 340 to 918. As of June 2007, 14% of all residential units were vacant. Demographics (description of the proposed Weed & Seed community) According to the 2000 Census: • South Bend population: 107,789 o In the proposed Weed & Seed area: • Population: approx. 12,559 (approx. 12% of city total). ^ African American 55%; Caucasian 35%; Some Other Race/Two or More races 9%; Hispanic 9% • South Bend homeownership rate: 63% o In the proposed Weed &.Seed area; • Homeownership rate: 60% Strategy Plan/Design: Law Enforcement/Community Policing The concentration of crime in the proposed area is evidence of growing social disorder. A coordinated strategy has been developed: increased police patrols and presence; random curfew sweeps; aggressive undercover operations targeting illegal activity; and community policing to improve relations between police and the community. Prevention/Intervention/Treatment Creation and expansion of educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities for youth will provide preventative measures addressing some of the key social problems that lead to crime. Assisting residents acquire a high school diploma and providing basic life skills training with support from business will move residents toward improved employment options and self-sufficiency. Neighborhood Restoration A coordinated effort to inform residents of the numerous available housing programs, combined with the City's new Vacant and Abandoned Housing Initiative, and other public F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Weed&Seed\2008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application,doc 2 FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION investments in the area will attempt to halt the abandonment and support the housing market. OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES: The outcomes of South Bend's Weed & Seed strategy will be the reduction of violent and drug crime in the area; reduction of juvenile crimes and status offences; reduction in unemployment; an increase in the number of residents with a high school diploma; fewer foreclosures and abandoned houses; and an improvement in the working relationship between the police department and the community. Performance will be measured by the percentage decrease in crime rates and juvenile arrests; reduction in the rate and number of repeat offenders arrested; increase in the number of homeowners counseled and foreclosures prevented; number of attendees in seeding programs; reduction in the absolute number of abandoned houses. DEMONSTRATION OF COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS: Several current programs operate in the proposed area that demonstrate excellent, ongoing collaborative efforts to build on.

Adult/Juvenile Crime and Reentry Adult Crime Between 2003 and 2006, the percentage of all Part 1 Crimes reported in South Bend (except for Theft/Larceny) occurring in the proposed Weed & Seed site exceeded 12 percent. (The population of the proposed area is 12 percent of the city total.) During that period (2003-2006): • 27 % of all homicides in South Bend occurred in the proposed area • 26 % of all arsons • 19 % of all robberies • 17.9 % of all aggravated assaults; and • 17.8 % of all rapes. The percentage of all Part 2 Crimes during the 2003-2006 period reveal a similar concentration: • 29.9 percent of all weapons violations in the city were in the proposed area; . 26 % of all drug violations; • 21.6 % of all disorderly conduct arrests; and • 17.4 % of all child abuse/neglect cases. Juvenile Crime The 2000 Census counted 5,356 youth 17 and under in the proposed area, 18.2 percent of all youth 17 and under in the city. Between 2004 and 2006, the percentage of arrests involving youth from the proposed area increased: from 206 to 216 (14.1 percent of the total in 2004 to 17.3 percent of the total in 2006.) This was higher than the total number of juvenile arrests in South Bend which declined by 14.3% (from 1,456 in 2004 to 1,248 in 2006). Some of the data indicates disturbing trends: • The two rapes and the three arsons all occurred in 2006. F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Weed&Seed12008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application.doc 4 FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION E~ _ l ~v -'l The percentage of juvenile burglaries occurring in the proposed area increased from 15.1% of the total in 2004, to 32.1% of the total in 2006. The percentage of juvenile sex offences occurring in the proposed area increased from 2.8% of the total in 2004, to 23.8% of the total in 2006. The percentage of juvenile vandalism occurring in the proposed area increased from 10.3% of the total in 2004, to 19.2% of the total in 2006. Description: Part 1 Crimes (Data 2003, 2004, 2005) See attached table of Part 1 Crimes data for 2003-2006 for adults III A 1. Description: Part 2 Crimes (Data 2003, 2004, 2005) See attached table of Part 2 Crimes data for 2003-2006 for adults III A 2 Number of serious/violent adult and juvenile offenders returning to community over the past 3 years, and number anticipated to return during the coming 5-year period: During a recent three year period (2004-2006) the state Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) reported: 1,412 adult ex-offenders returned to St. Joseph County. . Of those, 1,121 (79.4 percent) returned to South Bend. • Of those, 184 (16.4 percent) returned to the proposed area. IDOC reports that based on the earliest possible release dates for the years 2008-2012: • 524 adult ex-offenders expect to return to St. Joseph County. • Of those, 393 (75 percent) expect to return to South Bend. Of those, 48 (12.2 percent) expect to return to the proposed area. The numbers are deceptively low because they do not include crimes/incarceration/releases that haven't occurred yet. Similar figures for youth are not available in this jurisdiction. III. B. Social Problems and Needs Description of social problems that contribute to crime in the Weed and Seed area, including data from 2003, 2004, and 2005: The W&S area is challenged by the unemployment, poverty and educational status of many of its residents. Each of these creates an individual situation but collectively frames a population that has difficulty with quality of life issues, lack of opportunity for living wages, and inability to maintain decent housing. Additionally, many who may have moved beyond this stage have been caught in the housing opportunities of the recent past that may now be failing. The physical condition of the area, given it contains one third of all vacant and abandoned homes in the city, is indicative of significant problems. According to the 2000 Census, in the proposed area: Unemployment = 13% Poverty = 26% F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Wecd&Seed\2008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application.doc FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION Low educational attainment ;, • # of 16 to 19 yr olds = 996 • Of those, # Not enrolled in school = 354 Of those, # Not a high school graduate = 234 o Of those, # Not in labor force = 129 Single parent households = 17.6% of all households Vacant and abandoned houses • Total housing units in area = 6,503 o Of those, # vacant and abandoned (2007) = 918 of all South Bend's vacant and abandoned housing found in area = 31% of all housing units in the area that are vacant and abandoned = 14% Sheriff Sales Foreclosures that move to Sheriff Sale are increasing in South Bend, but the rate of increase is much greater within the proposed area. In 2004, there were 870 Sheriff Sales in South Bend, 194 (22.3%) of which were in the proposed area. In 2006, there were 947. Sheriff Sales in South Bend, 242 (25.6%) of which were in the proposed area. From 2004 to 2006 in South Bend, Sheriff Sales increased by 8.9%. From 2004 to 2006 in the proposed area, Sheriff Sales increased by 24.7%. See attached Maps III B-1& 2 Description of available social services and the types of problems addressed by them: Although there are limited social service headquarters located in the W&S area, many services are available within the broader community. Located at the Colfax Campus (SBHF) and the site of the Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. are facilities that offer homeownership education and training opportunities as part of a broader home rehab assistance program. The Youth Service Bureau a youth support and shelter agency is located in, and is an active participant in, the W&S area. Youth street outreach, a Young Mom's Program and emergency shelter assistance are services offered. A variety of churches in the areas offer similar programs including soup kitchens, after school programs and other youth related programs, as well as senior activities. See Attached Map III B 3 & 4 III. C. Crime, social problems and needs analysis Criminal activity and social problems that wi(I be a primary focus of the Weed and Seed site efforts: The strategy will target the following criminal activity: • Illegal drug activity • Weapons violations • Curfew and loitering violations Social problems targeted: • Low educational attainment • Lack of basic employment skills • Unsupervised youth F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Weed&Seed\2008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application.doc 6 FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION , ~~ ~f p, {~~° ~,(, Research and other information that supports the selection of the Weed and Seed target location, criminal and social problem activities-including community perceptions: There is quantifiable crime and social data supporting the selection of the proposed site as the Weed & Seed target location, as well as qualitative/anecdotal observations made by residents of the area. For the sake of comparison, the population of the proposed site is approximately 12 percent of the city population; housings units within the proposed site are approximately 14 percent of all residential units in the city.

See Attached May "Housing Conditions in the Proposed Northwest W&S Area III C-10 The South Bend Tribune published a series of stories on abandoned housing March 12-15, 2006. Susan Adamek, a member of the Weed & Seed Steering Committee, was quoted at the time on the vacant properties in her neighborhood in the proposed area: "It's like a disease right now. It's one of our biggest concerns...." Businesses along Lincoln Way West, the proposed area's primary commercial corridor, complain about youth congregating in their parking lots after hours, leaving trash, vandalizing property, and exchanging gunfire. Within the proposed area north of Lincoln Way West, neighborhoods are known for drug dealing, while the commercial corridor itself has a reputation for prostitution. Without a comprehensive approach to abate this crime and physical decay, the neighborhood's sense of a loss of social control will inhibit initiative, investment, and improvement. Comprehensive analysis of the persistent juvenile and adult drug and violent crime problems in the designated area compared to the city or county-at-large: Arrest data for 2004-2006, reveal that juvenile arrests for several Part 1 and Part 2 violations were more concentrated in the proposed area: Violation # Citywide # in W&5 area % of total in W&s area Arson 6 3 50.0% Curfew violation 167 57 32.2% Rape 8 2 25.0% Auto theft 58 12 20.7% Weapons violations 22 4 18.9% Runaways 1,553 264 17.0% Drug/Alcohol abuse 203 27 13.3% Description/prioritization of the top four most pressing community needs and gaps: The top four most pressing community needs and gaps identified during the Community Needs Assessment were: • Safe Havens o Limited safe locations offering service delivery for youth and adults • Crime prevention activities o Violent crime o Illegal drug activity • Educational activities o Lack of educational/recreational/cultural opportunities for youth o Lack of educational opportunities for adults • Employment /Training o High unemployment o Lack of job skills F:\DATA\SHARE\DPND\Weed&Seed\2008 Application\2008 Application\Final format for application.doc g FY 2008 WEED AND SEED COMMUNITIES APPLICATION ~~ ~~. , Resource distribution, coordination and enhancement: IV.

The City of South Bend is currently committed to the $1 Home Program for homeownership and neighborhood revitalization (a component of the City Vacant Housing Initiative); commercial corridor development; counseling and rehabilitation programs to assist homeowners in staying in their homes; recognition of the Bridges Out of Poverty concept as a means of joining unemployed and underemployed individuals and employer needs; a significant community policing initiative; and neighborhood capacity building. These programs are funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, County Option Income Tax (COIT) funds, and general fund sources, with many having multi- yearcommitments. Other opportunities exist through United Way initiatives and agency funded programs to assist with volunteer efforts and information and referral. Additionally, local foundation resources wi11 be pursued to support program efforts. The evolution of the South Bend Weed & Seed Alliance (SBWSA) to a nonprofit 501(C)(3) has offered, and will continue to offer, opportunities to be the recipient of private donations and grants. Total federal grant/funding $ which will be incorporated into project: 500 000 Total statellocal grant funding: 522 000 Total other funds leveraged which will be incorporated into project: 10 000 IX.

Professor Newcomb has been involved with, and a member of, the South Bend Weed & Seed Alliance (SBWSA) since its inception. To date, discussions have centered on joint, direct assistance from both institutions. Both have partnered with the City and numerous other community entities for similar purposes. The design and development of particular methodologies has yet to be finalized, The City uses the performance based budgeting/outcome measurement method and is familiar with the collection, tracking and monitoring of information. This experience will assist the process. Also, it will continue to be the practice that all programs be required to track attendance and respective performance measures, reporting on a regular basis based on the program schedule. The South Bend Police Department provides monthly crime assessment and analysis, as well as cumulative reports for progress reports as necessary. Findings from these will be continually reviewed at the sub-committee and committee level. U. S. Attorney Involvement and Committee Oversight: The U. S. Attorney has been involved through email and phone conversation, as well as attending Steering Committee meetings. Advice is solicited and provided as needed.
