Narrative (optional): The development of the current Consolidated Plan is a collaborative effort between the City and NNRHA and was discussed with the above-mentioned agencies and organizations during regularly scheduled meetings of GVPHC. NNRHA staff works collaboratively with GVHPC to obtain mainstream and other vouchers that prioritize homeless and at-risk populations. The list of ongoing concerns provided below: Affordable Housing Do we really need more affordable housing? What is currently in place to prevent those being relocated or wanting to move into a better housing community from violating code requirements? Will this program create slums and blight because people moving into the neighborhood do not understand home ownership? Maintain a list of subsidized/affordable housing properties north of J Clyde Morris. City needs to target individual properties to determine needs and if they qualify for these funds. Affordable housing programs such as a down payment assistance program are needed. Homeless / Special Needs Senior housing is needed. Target assistance to protect women and children involved in domestic violence situations. This needs to be a priority. Target service gaps such as drug programs for youth. Homelessness and special needs populations need to be a priority. Need programs such as meal programs, domestic violence support and for the disabled Need micro loans and micro grants Need additional case management capacity to connect the homeless to permanent housing Need additional permanent supportive housing Non-Housing / Community Development Needs If I wanted to use funds for the Boys and Girls Club, does it have to be in an area that qualifies by income? If I wanted to repair a road, does it have to be in a LMI area or an area that serves a LMI population? How is this verified? City needs to look at trailer parks that are in a deteriorated condition. Mobile park near the airport was mentioned. Why do we have blighted properties owned by the Airport Commission? Some felt areas around Denbigh do not benefit from federal funds. 10
