CDBG-R funding will be used for target area street improvements. The CD Department has begun the pre-preparation for the City’s annual CDBG performance and evaluation report for submission to HUD. The City’s HUD Rep also came to conduct a 3-day monitoring of the City’s CDBG program, including housing rehabilitation. A formal report will be issued but no findings or concerns were noted to staff. 2. The City is working with the City of Canton on an application for NSP Round 2 funding. NSP 2 was authorized under the Federal stimulus bill and unlike NSP 1, this is a competitive grant program geared for large areas. For this reason, Canton is putting together a consortium of communities and organizations to apply for NSP 2 funding. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program – Stimulus (NSP -2) is designed to provide funding to local governments to deal with the problems of foreclosed and abandoned housing in areas of greatest need. 3. The City has proposed the creation of several Non-School Tax Increment Financing (TIF) projects to capture the increased taxes resulting from local development in order to provide funding for needed capital improvement projects serving these developments. Under the proposal, the school district will continue to receive all tax revenues the same as if there was no TIF; hence, the name Non-School TIF because there is no effect on school funding. 4. The CD Director attended the Shearer’s Foods ground breaking, a conference on NSP project underwriting and the Massillon Library Board of Trustees meeting. HOUSING: The Department received approximately 80 calls and visits regarding Fair Housing Laws and tenant/landlord issues. It was necessary to provide information to numerous tenants and landlords regarding their rights. Several people were referred to Community Legal Aid Services, Inc. for legal advice or other agencies for homeless prevention or financial assistance. This office continues to monitor questionable advertisements listed in the classified section of the local newspaper for possible discrimination. We currently have one case pending with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission awaiting completion of their investigation. I participated in a First Time Homebuyers seminar sponsored by First Merit. Information was provided regarding the $8,000.00 tax credit being offered as a result of the Economic Recovery Act of 2009 and First Merit’s lending products to benefit low to moderate purchasers. I presented information about the home buyer’s assistance program. Several people in attendance have applied for the City’s program. I participated in two (2) Save Our Homes (SOH) coalition meetings to discuss possible outreach activities regarding foreclosure prevention. I participated in the Stark County Housing Task Force Planning Committee meeting. We discussed future topics to be considered for the Task Force and other housing related issues occurring in Stark County, including available funding for the prevention of homelessness. The City was monitored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The representative spent one and one-half days examining home buyer assistance, emergency and full housing rehabilitation files. We also did a tour to look at completed projects. We will receive a report about the monitoring visit. I participated in the Stark County Housing Trust Fund (SCHTF) Board meeting. The consultant who was hired provided a progress report which includes information about housing needs that will be helpful while attempting to find a dedicated funding source. This office completed the Fair Housing portion of the FY-2008 City of Massillon’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. This report is required annually and submitted to Stark County Regional Planning and Aane Aaby to be submitted to HUD. I participated in a Family Economic Success (FES) Coalition/Board meeting. After discussing the IRA and FES updates, the election of new Board members was held. I was elected Secretary. Also discussed at the meeting were plans to hold the Stark county Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Forum. Aane Aaby and I attended the Ohio Conference of community Development, Inc. (OCCD) training session for Participating Jurisdictions (PJ) regarding execution of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) in Columbus. The session was informative.
