compliance with fair housing objectives. Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA): NRSA areas are prioritized due to concentrations of low- and moderate-income households, significant minority populations, aging housing stock, and documented physical and economic distress. Many of these neighborhoods have experienced long-term disinvestment and now require targeted housing rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and stabilization efforts. A key component of this strategy includes CDBG-funded owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, which assists low-income homeowners—many of whom are elderly, disabled, and minority residents—with critical home repairs such as roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural stabilization. These investments preserve existing affordable housing and help prevent displacement in historically underserved neighborhoods. Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) – Marshall-Ridley: The CNI area represents one of the most economically distressed and historically minority- concentrated neighborhoods in the City, with high levels of concentrated poverty and aging public housing. This area receives targeted investment to support comprehensive transformation, including replacement housing, infrastructure improvements, and supportive services. These investments are designed to address deep-rooted inequities and improve long- term housing and neighborhood outcomes. Title 36 / Citywide Area: The Title 36 and citywide allocation ensures that investments are not limited exclusively to high-poverty or minority-concentrated neighborhoods. This approach allows the City to address housing needs in additional areas experiencing moderate distress, support scattered site rehabilitation, and maintain housing quality citywide. It also ensures equitable access to housing resources across diverse neighborhoods. All HOME funds, aside from administrative costs, are used exclusively to benefit low- to moderate-income households. These funds are directed toward eligible activities such as affordable housing development, rehabilitation, and homeownership assistance, ensuring compliance with federal program requirements and supporting the City’s broader goal of expanding and preserving affordable housing opportunities.
