Title
A Proclamation In Recognition Of National Community Development Week - April 2-6, 2018.
Body
Staff Recommends: Presentation of Proclamation.
Explanation:
National Community Development Week is scheduled for April 2-6, 2018. This week provides an opportunity to showcase the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) federally 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 Division of Community and Economic Development is committed to enhancing 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 accepted by the Community Development Advisory Board and the public service sub-recipients: Hispanic Unity, Hope South Florida, Impact Broward, Russell Life Skills and Reading Foundation, Second Chance Society, Washington Park Childcare Center and Women in Distress.
The proclamation will be presented at the April 4, 2018, City Commission meeting.
