Dear Mr. Parent:
The attached resolution which would enable the city of South Bend
to apply for a homesteading grant from the U.S. government represents
another step in implementing an overall housing program for the city of
South Bend.
It should be pointed out that if South Bend is selected for this
program by HUD it can be implemented with no additional local funds.
The Bureau of Housing as currently constituted is capable of implementing
the program.
Your consideration of this resolution will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
William P. Hojnacki
