PROPOSED PROJECTS
1993-94 CDBG APPLICATION
Project Neighborhoods $188.434
The primary goal of this code enforcement program is to prevent the
growth of slums and blighting influences by the early detection and
prevention of deterioration in neighborhood by identifying and
correction violations of City codes. This program will help stabilize
neighborhoods and improve living conditions in the CDBG areas. The
primary focus of Project Neighborhoods is the removal of junk
vehicles, weeds, rubbish, and other unsightly matter from vacant lots,
alleys and right-of-ways.
A second component of this proposed project is neighborhood
association development for $3,100 proposed by the Community Services
Department. -
The goal of this project is to provide a one -day training to open
communication between the ten Community Development Target Areas
identified, Neighborhood Associations and the City of Lubbock staff.
To develop a Neighborhood Development Primer which provides
neighborhoods, or groups interested in starting a neighborhood
association, the basic steps on how to succeed. Materials would
include: How to begin, sample of by-laws, should you incorporate,
volunteer usage, publicity, fundraising ideas, resources and sample
self-help projects. Training would include presentations from City
employees on available services (recycling, neighborhood
beautifications, housing, etc.) Presentations would also be done by
neighborhood members on restoring neighborhoods, starting a
neighborhood association, etc.
This project would improve communication within and among Community
Development Target Area Neighborhood Associations and the City of
Lubbock. Five members per association and City staff will participate
at Exchange 190.
Residential Rehabilitation - Community Development $850,000
To rehabilitate approximately 50 to 60 structures of qualifying
applicants under the No Interest Deferred Payment Loan (NIDP) Program
and the Below Market Rate (BMR) Loan Program. Applicants who are very
low income with no payback ability (i.e., elderly and/or disabled)
will qualify for a straight NIDP Loan. Other applicants will qualify
for a percentage of a NIDP Loan based on a sliding scale determined by
gross income and a BMR Loan at 3% interest with a 7-year term.
Proposed Projects - 1993-94 CDBG Application 2-1-93
Page 2
Homeownership Assistance - Community Development $88,000
This project is a new initiative designed to assist low income
families access private mortgage lending. One of the primary reasons
for limited access to homeownership for low income families is due to
insufficient cash to meet the down payment and closing costs required
for mortgage financing. This program would provide assistance to meet
that cash deficit. Approximately 45 families would be -assisted,
accessing approximately $1.9 million in private financing.
Barrier Free Living - Community Development $35,000
This will be a Barrier Removal project for disabled persons. The
passage of the American with Disabilities Act has drawn attention not
only to the need for this project, but to the fact that it is a
worthwhile undertaking.
This is a new project proposal designed to assist persons with a
disability that have self care and mobility limitations. The program
will include needed structural changes to dwellings such as the
installation of wheelchair ramps, the lowering of kitchen cabinets,
the lowering of light switches, widening doors, installing bathroom
grab bars, and other special accessibility improvements.
Community Development inspectors will inspect the property to
determine the need for the improvements as well as the type of
improvements needed. Upon completion of the work a second inspection
will be conducted.
We anticipate the maximum grant for Barrier Removal to be $3,500.00
and we plan to assist at least ten households with this funding.
Project Helping Hands - Community Development $250,000
This is the continuation of the project "Helping Hands" program
instituted in 1990 (CD 16). The primary purpose of this program will
be to address health and safety items such as heating units, gas
lines, water lines, sewer lines, etc. Items secondary in nature to
health and safety may be considered for approval upon recommendation
of inspector for applicants initially approved for health and safety
items, but not to exceed a total of $2,500 maximum grant.
This is proposed to be a one grant not to exceed $2,500. We feel
we can take care of the most important items with this amount of
money.
This will be a direct benefit program designed to make housing repair
assistance to the elderly a priority. The program will assist persons
on low to very low fixed incomes in homes which are either not

feasible or otherwise are found not to be in need of a full and
extensive rehabilitation.
Sidewalk Construction - Community Development $60,000
This is the continuation of an on -going effort in the Arnett Benson
neighborhood to arrest neighborhood blight and decline by the
installation of integral infrastructure improvements.' The sidewalk is
necessary if the neighborhood revitalization effort is to continue.
Installation of approximately 5,000 LF of sidewalk, 35 drive
approaches, and 16 extensions to existing alley returns is proposed in
the 3200 Block of Baylor; the 3000 and 3100 Blocks of Cornell; and the
3100 Block of Emory. This will have a direct effect on approximately
55 low/moderate homeowners on these street.
Additional sidewalks were requested in the East Lubbock areas,
specifically in high pedestrian areas and major streets. The
recommendation is to construct sidewalk between Broadway and Idalou
Road in a 2 block area where sidewalk does not exist. Most of the
requested areas include school sites. The staff will meet with LISD
officials to discuss these neighborhood concerns.
Paint -Up Program - Community Development $40,000
The city wide project will provide low and moderate income families
with painting supplies to complete exterior painting on single family
houses.
The program is conducted in the summer. Families are able to receive
painting supplies a maximum of once every 24 months. Intake duties
and inspections on the painting are handled by the C.D. staff. In
order to maximize effectiveness this program may be used in
conjunction with other C.D. housing programs.
Land Disposition - Community Development $10,000
This project would include all site preparation necessary on any
marketed parcel of land. Dirt excavating, fill dirt and levelling the
property in order to make it construction ready. This work is
necessary in order to accomplish goals marketing plans for the areas
where Community Development has a large inventory of land, primarily
in Chatman Hill and Guadalupe. In addition, the cost of site
preparation for construction is a savings that is passed onto the home
purchaser. This is another cost saving factor that will make
affordable housing a reality.
This project will strengthen land marketing and promote affordable
housing in areas with large land inventories.
Proposed Projects - 1993-94 CDBG Application 2-1-93
Page 4
HOPE III Program/Property Mgt. - Community Development $5,000
The City of Lubbock has received $1,000,000 of Federal funds through
the HOPE III program. Under this program, FHA, VA, and RTC inventory
properties will be purchased. These properties, along with several
City of Lubbock properties donated to the program as a substitute for
required matching funds, will be rehabilitated and sold to low and
moderate income families.
Field Services - Community Development $307,000
The Field Services budget supports the direct service delivery
activities associated with the CDBG, HOME, HOPE, and Affordable
Housing programs. This budget includes seven staff members;
Rehabilitation and Redevelopment Coordinator, Loan Processor,
Neighborhood Specialist, Rehabilitation Specialist, Real Estate
Specialist, and three Housing Inspectors. The staff performs all
outreach, applicant intake and screening and construction management
for all housing activity.
Administration - Community Development $208,000
This project is for the administration of the Community Development
Block Grant, HOME, HOPE, and Emergency Shelter Grant Programs. The
Department maintains all compliance with the federal and state
requirements associated with these programs. The Administrative
section includes the C.D. Administrator, Administrative Assistant,
Secretary, Grant Account Analyst, and a part-time intern. The budget
includes all of the support services associated with these programs,
such as computers, telephone, printing, supplies, etc. During the
1993-94 year the department will administer approximately $4.5
million. It is anticipated that at least two applications for new
sources of funding will be submitted.
Indirect Costs - Community Development $140,000
This project will fund those activities that provide support services
to the Community Development Block Grant Program. The costs are
determined in accordance with accounting procedures approved by HUD.
The indirect cost allocation plan must be preliminarily approved each
