Title
A Proclamation In Recognition Of National Community Development Week, April 17 - April 22, 2017.
Body
Staff Recommends: Presentation of Proclamation.
Explanation:
National Community Development Week is scheduled for April 17-22, 2017. This week provides an opportunity to showcase Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Federal funded projects, and to encourage our congressional representatives to continue supporting the CDBG and HOME Programs. Additionally, the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program has been included, as State funding is critical to Hollywood's affordable housing strategies.
The Department of Development Services’ Community Development Division is committed to enhancing its outreach to the community by working with its partners to assist in promoting and marketing the various housing and social service initiatives. The celebration of National Community Development Week gives the City an opportunity to highlight the partnerships established with neighborhoods, non-profit service providers, the Community Development Advisory Board and program supporters.
The proclamation will be presented at the April 19, 2017, City Commission meeting. The proclamation will be accepted the Community Development Advisory Board and CDBG Sub-recipients.
