May 20: Public Hearing on Housing and Community Development Needs
MAY 20, 2014 – PUBLIC HEARING:
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
OF SOUTH BEND, MISHAWAKA & ST. JOSEPH COUNTY
The Community Forum for Economic Development (CFED) is sponsoring a Public Hearing in partnership with the St. Joseph County Housing Consortium to initiate the process of developing the Consortium’s 2015-2019 Housing and Community Development (HCD) Plan.
The Consortium seeks input from citizens regarding housing and community development needs in the Cities of South Bend and Mishawaka, and St. Joseph County. For additional information please contact Pamela Meyer, Director of Neighborhood Engagement, City of South Bend at 235-5845 or pmeyer@southbendin.gov.
The Community Forum encourages you to attend and participate in this public hearing, an initial step in the development of a new five-year plan for the use of federal grants from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program are two federal programs that are important sources of financial support for the revitalization of economically stressed neighborhoods and the provision of affordable housing in St. Joseph County.
