Subject: Resolutions to Submit Applications for a Community Development Block Grant
and a HOME Program Grant.
Per the requirements of the CDBG and HOME Programs, we need City Council to pass a
resolution(s) authorizing the submission of applications on behalf of Samaritan House.
Hopefully, Glen can do a combined resolution to save some time.
The Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant application must be in the mail by
midnight, Monday, September 15, 1997. The $400,000 to be raised through this grant will allow
the City to assist Samaritan House with the acquisition of 8 existing one -bedroom apartments
across the street to the east for use as transitional living units. Additionally, the HOME grant
will contribute to the construction of a concourse building on the existing site between the
existing shelter and the new building. The second floor of this concourse will provide 14 new
Single Room Occupancy apartments for additional transitional living units. Individuals or
families may reside in transitional living units for a period not to exceed two years. During that
time in transitional living the individuals are enrolled in a Continuum of Care Program which
assists them with basic skills such as job training, parenting classes, basic GED or literacy
classes, health care services etc.
The Community Development Block Grant for Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization must
be submitted no later than Friday, October 17, 1997. This $400,000 grant will go toward the
rehabilitation of the existing 23 apartments in the existing shelter, rehabilitation of the 8 units
across the street, and site improvements at both locations. Upon completion of the work, twenty-
three apartments will become available for use as either transitional or permanent housing.
