STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The government of the City of South Bend, in partnership with the City's
private sector and residents, is committed to the goal of providing "a suitable
living environment" in the City, its neighborhoods, and for its residents.
As part of this task, it is essential that city residents feel comfortable,
at ease, and safe in their respective homes and surrounding neighborhoods.
The older adult community is a sector of the city population with special
needs, as older citizens are often vulnerable targets for robbery, assault,
vandalism or other crimes and thereafter remain fearful to move about freely
within and outside of their homes. Therefore, Community Development Block
Grant Funds will be utilized by REAL Services of St. Joseph County, Inc, to
operate an Older Adult Crime Victim Program for older adults in the
Community Development Neighborhood Strategy Areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of
South Bend, Indiana as follows:
SECTION I. The sum of $10,066.00 is hereby appropriated for the program
year starting July 7, 1981 from the Community Block Grant Fund (Program Year
1981). The appropriation shall be used as approved by the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development, under Title Twenty -Four (24)
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part Five Hundred and Seventy (570) for
the Community Development Program Year 1981. This appropriation is to be
administered by the Division of Community Development and REAL Services of
St. Joseph County, Inc., as set forth below:

SUBJECT: Ordinance to appropriate $10,066 from 1981 CDBG Unspecified
Local Option funds for continuation of the Older Adult
Crime Victim Program.
DATE: October 20, 1981
Real Services has requested $10,066 from the City of South Bend
to continue the Older Adult Crime Victim Program from January 1, 1982
to December 31, 1982. The program, which has received prior CDBG
funding, is designed to assist older adults who have been the victims
of crime. Many of these older adults are residents of Community
Development neighborhood strategy areas.
The program assists older adults through direct counseling and
an educational component which emphasizes crime prevention and self -
protection. The CDBG funds represent a portion of the total funds
utilized to support the program and would provide a portion of the
counselor's salary and minimal non - personnel expenses related to the
services provided. The 1981 Unspecified Local Option account is
currently at a level of $124,787.
I request your favorable consideration of this Ordinance. Please
contact me at 284 -9335 if you should have any questions.
