Approval of 1981-82 Community Development Block Grant Application (memo, complete packet distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Chris Hofmann, Housing and Community Conservation Depart- ment. Ms. Hofmann stated that this is a recommendation from the Community Development Committee and the CDBG application is to be submitted in early April. The program would begin in July and would be for the purposes of helping to eliminate urban decay and helping to provide low-income and moderate-cost housing. The Community Development Committee held two public hearings and the package is now being recommended. The Community Development Block Grant program has two sections. The first is a Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP), which focuses on low-income population and housing areas and cycles every three years to a new neighborhood. She showed the council a chart and explained a minor adjustment that has occurred this year between two NIPs--West University and Jefferson/Far West. The second section of the program is the Individually Funded Applications (IFA) which are based on neighborhood needs, which are not as great as those in neighborhoods that qualify for the NIP section of the program. For example, last year Bethel was funded as the IFA, and received water lines for community gardens and benches at Petersen Park Barn Community Center. This year they are focusing on Edison Park in the Bethel Triangle. This year, South University has not submitted any proposals for University Park. In addition to neighborhood-specific projects, the City is allowed to fund city-wide projects such as the Neighborhood Housing Resource Center study of higher density development, emergency home repair, architectural barrier removal, MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 18, 1981 Page 3
