When will people get the message???

Hello everyone,

So do you have some spare reading time on your hands? If so please follow this link to read the new NSP2, Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2, proposal; http://cd.city.cleveland.oh.us/forms/NSP2_Draft_Application.PDF

The proposal is a consortium project that brings the city, county, CMHA, the county land bank, and suburbs together on developing housing. This is an unprecedented opportunity to have a strong impact on the pattern of housing in both the county and the city. (Specific census tracts are targeted.) The proposal calls for up to $80,000 of subsidy per housing unit. A minimum of 25% of funds ($18,645,000) will be used to develop foreclosed properties into units owned or managed by CMHA.

However, the proposal gives very, very vague lines on preserving or providing permanent housing affordability. This is where you can make a difference.

Comments from the public are solicited and will be summarized in the final application, if your comments are received before July 12th. So please take 10 minutes or so to read the proposal and submit your comments to
http://www.cuyahogalandbank.org/ and click contact us.

This is your chance to really have your voice heard on housing issues in Cleveland!!

Take care,
Diana
