TO : PETER NEMETH
FROM: WILLIAM P. HOJNACKI, DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF
HUMAN RESOURCES & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
RE : NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The proposed authorizations and appropriations, filed for your consideration
are designed to enable the City of South Bend to engage in a comprehensive
neighborhood development effort. This effort will be city wide in scope,
but is designed to allow the city to concentrate on, particular, high priority
neighborhoods.
The Planning, Development Action Team was chosen as the vehicle to implement
this program because it is a non - profit corporation established under the laws
of the State of Indiana. "PDAT," currently serves as the housing planning
component of the Model Cities program. It has the authority under its charter
to acquire, own and dispose of property.
The near South Eastside, (Michigan, Sample, High and Pennsylvania) streets has
been designated as the first priority neighborhood. Beginning in 1975, other
neighborhoods would be similarly designated as priority neighborhoods, and the
residents, therein, would become eligible for grants and loans under the program.
Administratively, the program would be under direct supervision of Mr. Hollis
Hughes. Day to day activities would be administered by Mr. William Ellison.
He will receive requests for grants and loans, develop a processing procedure
and direct inspections and financial operations. Mr. Ellison will be responsible
for assigning building inspectors, and the financial advisor to individual families
for the purpose of determining the exact monitary need of the family, and then to
create, subject to approval of the policy board, a financial plan for the family.
No grants or loans for purposes of rehabilitation would be issued, without signed
contracts with completed dates, for the rehabilitation work to be done.
Mr. Ellison would also have the responsibility for taking the initiative in
helping particular families secure help from private similar sources, where
possible, and for referring individuals to various social security agencies
when it is appropriate.
MEMO

Mr. Ellison will have the further responsibility for advising the Board of
Safety of Sub- standard dwellings where the owner refuses to cooperate with
the rehabilitation program.
A secretary is necessary to carry out normal office and clerical functions.
Two building inspectors would be assigned to inspect dwellings, and make
estimates of the cost of individual rehab projects.
A similar advisor would be assigned to individual families for the purpose
of determining their exact financial needs, and to make recommendations as
to how much money, and in what form should be made available to the families.
A Bookkeeper would be assigned to record all financial transactions, and to
carry out normal bookkeeping functions.
The salaries for all these individuals would be for only a six month period.
All the individuals will be transplanted from the Model Cities program, and any
compensations, to be paid prior to July 1, 1974, will come from Model Cities
funds. The salaries proposed, are the exact amounts that they are currently
receiving under the Model Cities program.
A fiscal officer from the Department of Administratives would be assigned to
PDAT for the purpose of monitoring the program.
As implicid part of the program is the development of an on -going revolving
fund. Initially this fund, from which grants and loans will be made, will
use only the requested revenue sharing funds. In the future the fund will
be replenished by a City contribution, from either revenue sharing funds
or community development funds, from loan repayments and from income derived
from the sale, or lease of other homes acquired from the Federal Housing
Administration.
The request to acquire F.H.A. repossessed homes is central to the success
of an overall neighborhood development concept. With these homes a number
of things can be accomplished.
1. The first use of these homes would be as replacement homes for persons
who's homes will not be rehabilitated in the South East neighborhood. By
providing a replacement for a family considerable relocation costs are saved.
2. The second priority would be to derive as income from the homes, this
can be accomplished by either selling the home, or leasing it ti the L.H.A.
or to a non profit housing corporation.
3. The third alternative is to implement the homesteading program. Initially
this will be done on a limited pilot project basis.
The total amount of money requested for acquisition of these homes will be used
to both acquiring the homes and rehabilitate those that need it.
MEMO
PETER NEMETH
PAGE 3
The list of homes available for this purpose varies from day to day and
the bulk price is negotiable. It is impossible to come up with a definative
list and total number estimate. However, priority would be given to the
homes in or near the South Eastside. Other homes would be included, dependent
on our ability to realize financial return on them, their suitability for
homesteading and the negotiated cost of acquisition and rehabilitation.
It is anticipated that homes of the westside would not be included for the
first year.
