The CD Department executed contract agreements with all 13 local agencies receiving CDBG funding. There is no word yet from HUD regarding FY 2008 CDBG funding. 2. The CD Director worked with the Mayor on an economic development incentive for Patent Health LLC/United Syndications, a sales and marketing enterprise seeking to expand at the former Republic Steel corporate office building at 410 Oberlin S.W. This project will create up to 500 new jobs. The CD Director attended a meeting in Columbus of the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, which approved over $2 million in State tax credits for this project, subject to approval of a local incentive package. 3. The CD Department plans to participate with the Bureau of the Census in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program in preparation for the upcoming 2010 Census. 4. The CD Department reviewed site plans for the new Menards store on SR21 near Warmington Road and for proposed gasoline pumps at the M&K Market on Walnut Rd. S.E. 5. The CD Department prepared an economic development incentive grant agreement for Earthwalk Orthotics which is relocating their business operations to an existing facility on Vista S.E. in Nova Technology Park. HOUSING: The Department received approximately 75 calls and visits regarding Fair Housing Laws and tenant/landlord issues. It was necessary to provide information to numerous tenants and landlords regarding their rights. A number of people were referred to Community Legal Aid Services, Inc. for legal advice or other agencies for homeless prevention or financial assistance. This month we were faced with several situations that involved an extensive amount of time and follow-up regarding landlord/tenant issues. This office continues to monitor questionable advertisements listed in the classified section of the local newspaper regarding possible discrimination. There is one Housing Discrimination Complaint pending with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. An update should be received soon. The Stark County Housing Task Force Planning Committee met to discuss the agenda for the regular meeting. The most important issue planned to discuss is the escalating rate of foreclosures and mortgage defaults. I also attended a meeting of the Save Our Homes Coalition organized by the State Treasurer’s Office and the Stark County Auditor and Treasurer. The Task Force and this group are now working together to organize efforts to inform consumers about resources available to assist with this problem. I participated in a Walnut Hills Residents Association meeting. Upcoming activities for the organization were discussed which included a Halloween party. Also discussed was the construction of the new gas station being built by the owners of the Kalas Supermarket. I checked on the progress and provided information about this and other projects affecting the neighborhood. I attended a Public Utility Assistance Forum presented by The Ohio Consumers Counsel and Stark County Community Action Agency. I obtained information regarding programs including the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) and other resources available to keep utilities connected. We regularly provide information and forms to Massillon residents. I participated in a meeting of the Family Economic Success Coalition Action Planning session. We reviewed program updates and upcoming activities for the 2007 filing season. This organization provides information regarding this valuable service in order for citizens to use this option instead of using the more expensive sources to file their taxes. I participated in the Stark County Housing Trust Fund (SCHTF) Board meeting. After reviewing the Board List that included new members, we discussed the various ideas for dedicated funding sources. We also reviewed an update of the organization’s By-Laws and reviewed similar efforts in other areas. I participated in a Stark county Housing Task Force meeting. Discussed at the meeting were reports regarding the Homeless collaborative and issues related to foreclosure prevention and the Save Our Homes Coalition. Joel Owens, of Community Building Partnership (CBP), provided a presentation on the work of the Community Development Corporations providing housing in the County such as ABCD and SCOPP. Jay Murdock presented a pre-purchase tool his agency uses to educate homebuyers on credit and home ownership. I participated in a Western Stark Medical Clinic, Inc. Board of Directors meeting. The Director reported on activities and highlights for the month. Other committees also reported. The agency is an asset to the community due to the help it provides to the uninsured. I finished the Ohio Conference of Community Development, Inc. (OCCD) quarterly meeting in Columbus. Some of the subjects included foreclosures, a sub-recipient panel discussion and other topics related to housing and communities. I received information on programs that may help local residents. The U.S. Department of HUD reported on activities of the agency. Next year’s budget is not yet available. I participated in AHEAD Board meeting. After discussing the general operations and updates of the organization, we discussed financial reports, the Director’s report and after school programs and grants. This organization continues to provide valuable support to the students in the Massillon City School system. I participated in the quarterly meeting for the Stark County FEMA Board. We received progress reports from the agencies who have received funding. It seems all funding has been allocated and/or spent. Additional funds will be available in January. Two applications were accepted for the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program. One contract was signed, one project was completed and two are progressing. Inspections were requested for two new projects. One contract was signed for the full Housing Rehabilitation program after I conducted a pre-construction meeting. One project was bid after conducting a review meeting with the client and two projects were completed. Letters were sent out to possible new clients from the waiting list who might be interested in participating in the program. Two applications were accepted for the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program. Two projects were completed for the rehabilitation portion and two are progressing. Funds were provided for down payment assistance for one project. One wheel chair ramp application was accepted.
