Benito Juarez - Funding for the Benito Juarez Center marks the first
commitment of Block Grant dollars to support housing efforts in the
Hispanic Community. The center conducted a survey of housing needs of
Fort Wayne's Hispanic community and provided housing counseling services
for low/moderate income families.
The Compliance office drafted Procurement Standards for the department
and aided with the development of a system utilized to measure program
performance against expenditures.
Although the distressed economy had a negative impact on local construction
companies, the department continued to aggressively pursue activities
designed to assure fair and equal opportunities for minorities and
women on HUD funded projects.
In 1982, the Compliance section will expand the Procurement Standards to
cover all departmental contracting needs as well as update the standards
to reflect changes in federal laws and regulations. Development of new
creative mechanisms to assure equal employment opportunities in CDBG
construction projects remains a primary objective. Compliance will
continue to assist with the development, monitoring, and evaluation of
Block Grant programs. Promoting additional cooperation and coordination
between the department and local financial institutions will also be of
vital concern to further leverage dwindling federal funds.
