The City also identified Census Tracts 19 and 20 as areas of <br /> greatest need based on the data and foreseen liklihood of foreclosures. Census Tract 19 is ranked as the <br /> 10th area most in need; however, it is believed that its proximity to four of the top five census tracts <br /> ' makes it a critical area to help stabilize. For 2017 the City of South Bend will focus funds for housing <br /> activities in Census Tracts 6 and 19. <br /> ' Additionally, the geographic allocation of resources was based upon: <br /> ' • History of the City's focus/redevelopment and support of the Community Development <br /> Annual Action Plan 49 <br /> 2017 <br /> ' OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) <br />
