Community Development Block Grant funded activities will meet the standard of one of the three broad national objectives. These objectives are that the activities (1) benefit low and moderate income persons, (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight and, (3) are designed to meet the community development needs having a particular urgency which pose a serious immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. The major need in revitalizing neighborhoods in Anaheim is to improve housing and other physical conditions. The housing and neighborhood improvements which will be funded through the 1989-90 CDBG entitlement grant will be concentrated in the CDBG Target Areas. OBJECTIVES 1. Housing and Neighborhood Improvements in Targeted Areas The centermost part of Anaheim has been designated as the location of the four CDBG Target Areas which are: Central City, Citron, South Anaheim and Patrick Henry. The long term objective for the four areas is to preserve neighborhoods, rehabilitate housing, remove substandard housing, preserve historic housing structures, remove physical barriers to the handicapped in housing units, provide for public improvements, park development, neighborhood facilities and related public service program necessary to stabilize or revitalize neighborhoods. The short term objectives and goals are to concentrate on rehabilitation of existing housing, complete or initiate needed park improvements, recreational and neighborhood facilities and public work (i.e. construction of storm drains, street reconstruction, etc.) market rehab loans for rental units tied to Section 8 (Housing Assistance Program) participation, and to continue code enforcement activities in the CDBG TArget Areas. The City of Anaheim's 1989-90 Community Development Block Grant Program will reflect a continued concentrated effort of manpower and resources to meet the needs of persons residing in these areas to renovate deteriorating neighborhoods. The following housing improvement programs will be continued in the four Target Areas: CDBG funded rehabilitation loans for eligible owner-occupant households in the target areas . Owner investor rehabilitation loans to benefit low and moderate income renters · Deferred loans · Housing improvement incentives which include rebates and tool rental assistance The following activities will be implemented in each respective Target Area for neighborhood enhancement: Central City Neighborhood Target Area: Construct an additional four feet to four foot high block wall that separates Julianna Park from adjacent residences Alley revitalization project to improve alleyways in the Central City area by removal of overgrown vegetation and debris, including removal of large disposed items such as refrigerators, sofas tires, car parts etc. South Anaheim Neighborhood Target Area: Funds have been earmarked to implement recommendations of the Jeffry-Lynne Apartment Area Human Service Study. It is likely that recommendations will include acquisition/rehab of a building that will serve as a mini center for provision of social services Design costs and partial construction costs of a storm sewer on Ninth Street at Audre Street Patrick Henry Neighborhood Target Area: Construct concrete depressions on 8-10 corners along east end of Romneya Drive for handicap accessibility Citron Neighborhood Target Area: A set aside of funds to cover the non-CDBG portion of Citron Street Lighting Assessment 1984-1 2. Citywide Activities Although the majority of substandard housing is located in the four CDBG Target Areas, substandard housing does exist in neighborhoods throughout the City on a spot basis. Low interest rehab loans will be made available to low and moderate income persons on a Citywide basis. First priority in processing loan applications will be given to those persons residing in the Target Areas. -2- Public Service and Special Activities Clean up campaigns will continue to be implemented as a public service in CDBG Target Areas.
