[Durham INC] Monday-City Council Public hearing on Neighborhoods, Housing, & Services

[Lorisa Seibel]

Monday, May 2, 7:00pm, City Hall, is the City Council Public Hearing  
on funds for housing, services, & neighborhoods.
You are welcome to attend the hearing and contact City Council at  
560-4333 or council at durham.nc

With your advocacy, the City now recommends some funds for housing in  
SWCD & NECD, as they move forward with Rolling Hills & Southside.
However, funds may be cut for most services, including housing  
counseling for homeowners working to buy or keep their homes.

Below is the resolution approved at the INC meeting in August.
Thanks for your support.

------
Whereas historically the City and County have used federal HOME and  
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) to house the homeless, feed  
the hungry, and improve the quality of neighborhoods, and

Whereas the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham (INC) supports  
continued funding for affordable housing and for community services  
needed by families, youth, disabled, homeless, and residents of  
working class neighborhoods, and

Whereas the INC believes in honoring plans developed by citizen  
committees, and

Whereas the City has proposed to redirect most of the federal HOME and  
CDBG funds to the redevelopment of Rolling Hills/Southside,

Therefore, the INC asks that before committing more funds to the  
Rolling Hills / Southside redevelopment, City Council and County  
Commissioners commit to continued funding of affordable housing and  
community services across Durham.
