GIBNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR September 18, 2009 Mr. Derek Deiter President, South Bend Common Council 227 W. Jefferson Blvd., Suite 400 South Bend, IN 46601 Dear President Deiter: The attached bill for Council consideration and approval will appropriate $1,148,607 in Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing (HPRP) funds. This action allocates new funds in accordance with the 2008 Action Plan and Amendment of the Housing and Community Development Plan submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development on May 20, 2009, and further amended and resubmitted on July 7, 2009. The funds being made available are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and represent a one time formula allocation to South Bend as an entitlement community. As was provided to the Council in an Apri130 2009 memo, the HPRP funding is allocated for communities to provide financial assistance and case management services to prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless, and to help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re- housed and stabilized. Additionally, the memo indicated that the City would allocate to the appropriate agencies working with its Continuum of Care. To that end South Bend's approved amendment indicated the City would conduct an application process for the allocation of these funds. Four applications were received with four being recommended for funding. Please know that there will be only one point of entry into this program related to the provision of financial assistance. That point of entry will be the Center for the Homeless. For that reason the Center's funding level includes the dollars for the financial assistance service.
