Section 4001 - General Information

 

.01 The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) plans and allocates the various program resources which it receives annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

 

 

Section 4100

 

.01 The Office of Housing and Community Development administers various programs as detailed in the following section.

 

 

Section 4110 - Program Descriptions and Operations

 

.01 The creation of viable urban neighborhoods is the primary objective of the CDBG program. Since the program's establishment in 1974, neighborhood activists and public officials have debated how best to achieve this broad goal, reaching a consensus on many of the necessary activities. They are:

 

… Housing Rehabilitation, Construction and Preservation - These have emerged as the highest priorities for neighborhood revitalization in Philadelphia. At the heart of bringing back a community are restoring, building and maintaining homes in which low- and moderate-income families can live.

 

… Economic Development and Community Revitalization - Retail strips and industrial corridors form the main streets of most Philadelphia neighborhoods. As they decline, so do the residential neighborhoods. Rebuilding a shopping district or manufacturing zone can create the economic momentum for the revival of the neighborhood.

 

… Property Acquisition and Capital Improvements - Deteriorated curbs and sidewalks, run-down facilities and dilapidated buildings also contribute to neighborhood decline. Local government has a responsibility to acquire (and restore) aging property through its capital program and related investments. Local government can also help to improve the quality of life in Philadelphia neighborhoods by supporting and promoting urban gardening, side yard and other improvement programs.

 

… Human Development - Public investment in neighborhood housing and business will not work unless the people who live there can take advantage of the resulting opportunities. Government must reinforce housing and economic development programs with job training and social services for individuals and families. Promoting self-sufficiency is a crucial ingredient in community revitalization and empowerment strategies.

 

Section 4110 (Cont.)

 

… Community Planning - A neighborhood cannot develop until its residents are prepared to work together. Government cannot by itself organize a community. Government can, however, promote neighborhood participation by involving block clubs, civic associations and grassroots organizations in the planning and implementation of all programs to rebuild the community for its residents.

 

… Home Investment in Affordable House - The Home Program is designed to (1) expand the supply of decent and affordable housing, particularly rental housing, for low-and very low-income Americans; (2) strengthen the abilities of State and local governments to design and implement strategies for achieving adequate supplies of decent, affordable housing; (3) provide both financial and technical assistance to participating jurisdictions, including the development of model programs for developing affordable low-income housing and; (4) extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and nonprofit organizations, in the production and operation of affordable housing.

 

… Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) - To provide States and localities with the resources and incentives to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of persons with AIDS and related diseases and their families.
