HUD's Re- Certification of the Workable Program: The hair presented the Honorable Jerry J. Miller, Mayor, City of South Bend, for the announcement: Mayor Miller -- "The City of South Bend has received word that the Workable Program for community improvement has been certified by HUD. This document outlines the City's plan of action in the following areas: Housing, Codes and Code Enforcement, Planning and Citizen Consulta- tion. "This document is presently available for public re- view at the following locations: Office of the City Clerk, PAC Centers, the Public Library and University Libraries. "A good deal of community effort went into the prepara- tion of this document. Many groups and individual citizens and all cabinet officials and the Mayor parti- cipated in the preliminary and detailed consultations which lead up to the final draft of the document. The Common Council reviewed the draft, and made its sugges- tions, updated our files and building codes, and ap- proved the Workable Program. "We appreciate HUD's confidence in our strategy for community improvement and we perceive their funding of the NDP as a sign of their confidence in the future of South Bend." HUD APPROVES RE- CERTIFICATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM b. Neighborhood Development Program: President HUD Helm an announced that the Department of Redevelopment has HOOD received approval of an One Million Dollar Grant for the GRAM Neig borhood (NDP) Application which was submitted to the IND. Indianapolis Area Office of HUD on September 15, 1972: "After many tries, I am pleased that the program - -for the Southeast Side especially- -will now get off the ground. "I want to congratulate the PAC Committees and they have our heartiest congratulations." Mayop Miller: "Many, many months of working with this administration and with the previous administration to develop some type of program and funding for the Southeast neighbor- hood. Not exactly every bit of the amount we would like, but I am really pleased we have had some funding- - accomplishment of PAC and Southeast neighborhood- -and beginning of acquisition in that neighborhood. S&M APPROVES NEIGHBOR - DEVELOPMENT PRO - (NDP), PROJECT A -10 4. PRESS RELEASES (Cont'd We are hopeful we can solve the problems in the South - east neighborhood." Mr. C�arles F. Lennon, Jr., gave information to the Press prese t and audience: "This is an One Million Dollar Grant. We requested One and a Half Million. $500,000 is for the Model Cities area and $500,000 for the Southeast. "The Model Neighborhood is bounded on the North by Linden, West by Olive, South by Orange, and East by Sadie. There are 31 families living in this area. The first action year for the Model Neighborhood is scheduled for total clearance. "The Southeast area boundaries are: West is the first alley east of Michigan; East is the first alley west of Carroll; North is the first alley north of Elder; and South is the first alley south of Paris Street. There are approximately 29 families in this area. "We will be working with Garrett Mullins and Ed Lucz - kowski - -both residents in the particular areas we are talking about, representing the residents. They should receive congratulations on a job well done. I have worked with them and will continue to work with them in that area. "Now the City and Redevelopment Commission will have an opportunity to develop the merchants' plan in the Southeast side. We have never had the opportunity to go into the Southeast side before. The hair asked Mr. Garrett Mullins, President of the South- east Side Project Area Committee, to express a few words on beha f of this Project: Mr. Mullins -- "I am very pleased - -very happy - -and, as the Mayor said, we would have liked to have more, but we hope to ac- complish a lot with this money." Also, Mr. Edwin Luczkowski, Co- Chairman of the Model Neighbor- hood Planning Agency (Housing Committee).of the Project Area Committee: "This has been a long time coming and I am sure our fears of nothing happening can now be forgotten. 31 families in Model Cities will be pleased with this news. This is the best news in three years." 4. PRESS RELEASES (Cont'd) Mr. Lennon said one of the conditions in the NDP is that action occurs within that year (first action year will be 18 months with no increase in dollar amounts). We will have until July 1, 1974. We will be looking for developers geared for all residential areas. It will be up to the PAC Comm ttees to work with the developers. The key factor is that we will be able to master a key plan. This particular area will be bare land. It was estimated that approximately eight (8) homeowners in the Southeast first action year would have the opportunity to rehabilitate their homes if they so desi ed, but with the elimination of the 312 Loan Program, tota clearance will probably now be considered the only feasible alternative. Dr. Oohn A. Kromkowski, Director, Human Resources & Economic Devellopment Department: Mr. 95% 31 f ance two "This also gives us a way to move in with private sector in area as well. Total dependence on national dollars is not certainly part of the present strategy and not part of our strategy. Reservoir of private developers is certainly more interested in cooperating with Model Cities area and Southeast side." nnon said basically the Southeast side area is set for tal clearance and we will work with the PAC Committees. ilies in Model Cities have agreed it will be total clear - Altogether there are 60 families, 10 individuals, and siness concerns to be relocated from the two areas. Mayo Miller addressed the Commission and PAC representatives: 5. the anno Prog year HUD gran All "Gentlemen: "I want to thank you so much for your efforts -- all your work of six or seven years ago, and at last the work of the people -- We can really see the time and effort spent. It is really worth it for the community. "You should really be congratulated for all your efforts for the community!" COMMUNICATIONS a. HUD letter dated February 8, 1973: This letter over IND.
