Citizens to decide how to use $23 million in federal grants
Neighborhood meetings scheduled to set priorities
A series of neighborhood meetings will soon be underway to gather citizen input on how to best use more than $23 million in federal grants. Citizens will be asked to identify priorities in housing and community development needs in each of their City Council districts.
The City will consider recommendations and proposals submitted during the meetings for the following funds in fiscal year 2010-2011:
· approximately $14.2 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
· approximately $7.1 million in Home Investment Partnerships (HOME)
· approximately $715,000 in Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) and;
· approximately $1 million in Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).
CDBG funds are used to improve living conditions through reconstruction of streets and drainage projects, parks, recreational facilities, housing improvements, public services and neighborhood revitalization programs. The HOME program, established by the Home Investment Partnership Act, increases the availability of affordable housing for lower income residents. ESG provides funding for homeless shelters and HOPWA provides housing and supportive services for people living with AIDS.
All meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. The meeting schedule as it pertains to residents of the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood is as follows:
Tuesday, November 17
District 3: Harlandale Community Center , 300 Sussex
Thursday, November 19
District 5: Palm Heights Community Center , 1201 W. Malone
Thursday, December 3
District 5: Palm Heights Community Center , 1201 W. Malone
After these series of meetings, City Council will hold two public hearings to be determined at a later date.
For more information, call the City’s Office of Grants Monitoring and Administration at (210) 207-6600.

San Antonio Public Library seeks opinions
Invitation to your constituents to participate in focus group:
The San Antonio Public Library wants your opinion!
As part of its strategic planning process, the Library is conducting a Community Needs Assessment to help determine the course the library should take for the next several years – what new services should be offered, how to improve existing services and resources, where new libraries are needed – anything and everything about the Library is under discussion.
Whether you use the Library a lot, a little, or not at all, Library staff need to hear from you. If you use the Library a lot, how can your Library experience be even better? If you use the Library a little, what would help you to take advantage of its resources and services more often? And if you don’t use the Library at all, they would appreciate it if you would take some time to tell them why not.
The Library invites you to participate in a focus group to obtain the opinions of District 5 residents. Please join them at the Las Palmas Branch Library, 515 Castroville Road, on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. to share your point of view. Refreshments will be provided.
For more information, please call Beth Graham at (210) 207-2638, Roberta Sparks at (210) 207-2635, or Jessica Ramos at (210) 207-2632.
Don’t forget – your input is essential in helping to develop the San Antonio Public Library’s plan for the future!
Thank you!
