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) be~]efit low and moderate income persons, (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight and, (3) are designed to meet commmunity development needs having a particular urgency which pose a serious and 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 1987/88 CDBG entitlement grant will be concentrated in the CDBG Target Areas. OBJECTIVES 1. Housing and Neighborhood Improvements in Targeted Areas The Central Anaheim area has been designated as the location for the four CDBG Target Areas which are: Central City, Citron, South Anaheim, and Patrick Henry. The long term objective for these four areas is to preserve neighborhoods, rehabilitate housing, remove substandard housing, preserve historic housing structures, remove physical barriers to the handicapped in housing units, and provide for public improvements, park development, neighborhood facilities and related public service programs necessary to stabilize or revitalize neighborhoods. The short term objectives and goals are to concentrate on rehabilitation of existing housing, complete or initiate needed improvements of parks, recreational and neighborhood facilities, and public work (e.g., construction of storm drains and street reconstruction), market rehabilitation loans for rental units tied to Section 8 (Housing Assistance Program) participation, and continue code enforcement activities in the CDBG Target Areas. Anaheim's 1987/88 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 Infill housing incentives designed to encourage owners of dilapidated housing units to build replacement housing units to be made available to low income residents. Various public work projects which primarily benefit low and moderate income residents will also be undertaken. The following activities will be implemented in each respective Target Area for neighborhood enhancement: Central City Neighborhood Target Area: Construction of storm drain on Vine Street at Sycamore Street Improvements to George Washington development of a plaza area on the installation of a reader board. Community Center to include the east side of the center and the Design work for the expansion of the Senior Citizen's Center located at Lincoln Avenue at Philadelphia Street Expansion of the restroom near the tennis courts of Pearson Park South Anaheim Neighborhood Target Area: Construction of a storm drain to eliminate street flooding and continuous water flow on Goodhue from Walnut to Hampstead. Development of a volleyball court at Ponderosa Park Patrick Henry Neighborhood Target Area: Design work for the reconstruction/resurfacing of Arbor, Cherry and Glenn Streets ?ierra Study Implementation funds set aside for neighborhood improvements 2. Spot Rehabilitation of Housing Although the majority of substandard housing is located in the four CDBG Target Areas, substandard housing units exist throughout the City on a spot basis. Low interest rehabilitation 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 applying from the Target Areas. 3. Public Service and Special Activities Clean-up campaigns will be re-implemented as a public service in the CDBG Target Areas. This consists of providing large trash bins strategically placed to encourage general clean-up and beautification efforts on the part of Anaheim residents. The Neighborhood Improvement Program of Anaheim will receive an allocation of $35,000 to be used for salaries and other administrative costs. N.I.P.A. is a neighborhood based non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage and facilitate private and public reinvestment in the apartment areas around Manzanita Park. Catholic Social Services will receive an allocation of $7,000 to provide social services and referrals through the Casa Guadalupe mobile unit to residents in the Little People's Park neighborhood and the apartment areas near Manzanita Park. Graffiti Removal Services will continue to provide its services in the CDBG Target Areas. Code Enforcement inspections will also continue throughout the four CDBG Target Areas. Costs of conducting a feasibility study for the proposed West Anaheim Senior Citizens Center construction will be provided for in the 1987/88 CDBG Program. A grant for $30,000 will be provided to the Orange County Center for Health for the purpose of acquiring a facility to provide child care services to mildly ill children of low income residents. Activities to affirmatively further fair housing will be provided by the Orange County Fair Housing Council through a contractual agreement with the City. An allocation of $52,000 has been earmarked for this purpose. 1987/88 FUNDING ALLOCATION The entitlement grant allocation for the CDBG program year beginning on July 1, 1987 that the City of Anaheim will receive from the Department of Housing and urban Development is $2,323,000. Proposed activities were recommended during public hearings and meetings held by the Communitywide CDBG Citizen Participation Committee; funding commitments were made at an Anaheim City Council public hearing. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS USE A description of how CDBG entitlement funds were expended during Fiscal Year 1985 and proposed for expenditure for Fiscal Year 1986 is shown in Attachment A. Attachment B is an assessment of the relationship of the use of funds to the Community Development objectives identified in the Final Statement for Fiscal years 1985 and 1986 as well as to the broad national objectives.

In 1985, the existing target Areas were expanded to include Census Block 2 and 3 of Census Tract 872 as part of the Citron Neighborhood Target Area and Census Tract 864.05 as part of the Central City Neighborhood Target Area in an effort to concentrate manpower and resources to revitalize deteriorating neighborhoods and to meet the needs of the residents in those areas. Project Status and Objectives The following housing improvement programs were implemented or continued in both program years in the four CDBG Target Areas: CDBG Funded rehabilitation loans for eligible households in the target areas (also Citywide on a "spot" basis). Owner-investor rehabilitation loans to benefit low and moderate income renters (also Citywide). Deferred loans (also Citywide). Rebates for housing improvements (Target Areas only). ° Tool rental assistance program for home improvement projects of low and moderate income homeowners (Target Areas only). The housing improvement programs were intended to conserve the housing stock and meet the objective of principally benefiting low and moderate income residents, in the Target Areas and Citywide through spot rehabilitation of housing. The City of Anaheim recognizes that although the majority of substandard housing is located in the Target Areas, substandard housing units are found sprinkled thoughout the City on a spot basis. Page 1 of Attachment B Various Public Works projects were implemented. These projects met two objectives: benefit to areas in which the majority of households were low or moderate income and contributed to the prevention or elimination of blight. Neighborhood improvement activities implemented in low/moderate income areas were the following: Central City Neighborhood Target Area Accomplished in 1985/86: o La Palma Park Restroom Improvements completed o Elm, Clementine and Helena Streets reconstructed o Reconstruction of Philadelphia Street (Sycamore to Wilhelmina) o Reconstruction of Flower Street (East to Sycamore) Intend to accomplish in 1986/87: ° Improvements to George Washington Center including restroom renovation~ security lighting, and installation of fire alarms o Improvements to LaPalma and Pearson Parks picnic area ° Design work for Little People's Park redevelopment ~ Development of Little People's Park o Complete construction of elevator at Anaheim Senior Citizen Center o Complete reconstruction of Olive Street (Broadway to Santa Ana Street) o Design work for Vine Street Storm Drain (at Sycamore St.) ° Design work for Day Care Center (City lot on Parry St.) Citron Neighborhood Target Area Intend to accomplish in 1986/87: ° South Street sidewalk construction (South St. at Citron Street) o Santa Ana Street sidewalk construction (just east of Janss) o Ellsworth Street reconstruction o West Street Storm Drain construction (West St. at Vineyard) o Citron Street Storm Drain construction (Cypress to Lincoln) o New citron park study and design o New Citron park development South Anaheim Neighborhood Target Area Accomplished in 1985/86: o Completion of Haster Street storm drain construction Intend to accomplish in 1986/87: o Ponderosa Park ballfield lights improvements o Ponderosa Park security light installation o Goodhue/Walnut storm drain design and construction Patrick Henry Neighborhood Target Area Intend to accomplish in 1986/87: ° Design work and redevelopment of Manzanita Park including activities building expansion, play area construction, picnic area improvements Code enforcement activties continued in 1985/86. Recommendations from a recently completed study of youth gang activities were implemnented in 1986/87. Other services funded in 1985/86 and targeted to benefit low and moderate income residents included: legal services provided by the Legal Aid Society; the Neighborhood Improvement Program of Anaheim which concentrates its efforts at working with tenant groups, apartment owner associations toward the end of improving the Chevy Chase apartment area neighborhood in the Patrick Henry Neighborhood; the Library Bookmobile provides outreach library services to residents of low income neighborhoods. Both the NIPA and Library Bookmobile were funded in 1985/86 as was the Shared Housing Program, with the goal of "matching up" seniors to share housing costs. Graffiti removal services were implemented as a new public service in the CDBG areas in 1986/87. Also, a special effort was made to assist low income elderly persons residing at the Cherokee Mobile Home Park in acquiring their mobile home park as a cooperative effort by those residents. This will enable the tenants to stabilize rent costs over a long period of time by becoming share owners of the park. The Fair Housing Council of Orange County was allocated $30,000 for 1985/86 and $40,000 for 1986/87 to provide services which affirmatively further fair housing for Anaheim residents. No new objectives were developed during the program year. Once all projects and activties are completed, the objectives for the 1985/86 and 1986/87 program years will have been met. 0517G
