o anization for the rehabilitation of the property located FOR RENEW, INC.

Housing for rehabilitation of homes in the target areas. The
B reau of Housing, along with the South Advisory Board requests
t at you look favorably upon this contract.

2roperty located at 1111 North Blaine Street, South Bend, A.M.E. ZION
Indiana, subject to South Bend Common Council approval. CHURCH
Mr. Harcus: The Grace A.M.E. Zion Church, a not - for - profit
organization, is having their first exposure to the Bureau
of Housing, and Redevelopment Commission, and this is their
fist venture in rehabilitating homes within the target areas.
We hope that this relationship grows and they become a very
pr gressive rehabilitator for the Redevelopment Commission.
Wi h the approved support of the Advisory Board we ask that
yo look favorably upon this grant request.
Mr. Robinson: Who is going to own this house? Is it a private
o er, or is the Church going to own it?
Mr Harcus: The Church purchase must show title of the property
before we give them the grant, so they own the property now.
After it is rehabilitated, most non - profit groups sell the
ho se.

Kagel: Is there a time limitation on how long the new owners
the purchased property can live in that property before they
11 it?
. Ellison: It is not required that the purchaser of a home from
a not - for - profit organization live there a certain period of time.
Typically, RENEW, or other agencies, which utilize the not - for - profit
r hab grant program do so specifically to make available a housing
opportunity for a lower income home ownership opportunity which,
otherwise,-might not occur. That is one motivation for doing the
a tivity. The second motivation is that these houses typically
are vacant and abandoned by the time the house is acquired by a
n t- for - profit organization. Consequently, the activity provides
f r the retention of housing units that otherwise would be torn
M * Robinson made a motion to approve a rehabilitation grant of
$ ,000.00 to Grace A.M.E. Zion Church a not - for - profit organization,
s conded by Mr. Cira, and the motion was unanimously carried.
