DIVISION OF NEIGHBORHOOD CARE, INC.
Neighborhood Care, Inc., (NCI) is a quasi-public, not-for-profit corporation
funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development through
Fort Wayne's Department of Community Development and Planning. It functions
as a division of CD&P and was developed to administer housing and
neighborhood revitalization programs primarily in Neighborhood Strategy
Areas (NSA's). NCI's three principle goals are to:
1. Preserve and revitalize the existing housing stock within designated
Neighborhood Strategy Areas.
2. Provide decent, safe, sanitary, and energy-efficient housing for
low and moderate income homeowners.
3. Encourage private and public reinvestment in neighborhoods tar-geted
for revitalization.
Though NCI functions as a division of CD&P, it receives its policy direction
from an independent Board of Directors. The Board consists of
thirteen members with representation as follows: one NSA president, five
mayoral appointees, and seven public officials. The seven public officials
include a City Council member, the City Controller, a mayoral
representative, a representative of the Fort Wayne Housing Authority
Board of Commissioners, and the Directors of Community Development and
Planning, Minimum Housing, and Neighborhood Care, Inc. The Mayor appoints
representatives from the following professions: accounting, law,
mortgage lending, banking, and real estate.
Late in 1980, the NCI Board of Directors approved a moratorium on rehabilitation
loan activity to allow for the total renovation of the program.
The primary thrust of NCI activity in 1981 has been in the implementation
of policy and programmatic innovations conceived in 1980.
The introduction of the Home Improvement Loan Program (HILP) is the
major example of NCI's new direction.
HILP replaced the old NCI housing rehabilitation loan program, which was
incapable of effectively responding to changing socio-economic circumstances.
The advantages of HILP include maximizing the use of CDBG
funds by blending them with private funds from local lending institutions,
streamlining the loan process, and greater cooperation with other
public and private agencies. These changes will allow NCI to serve more
eligible applicants and assure quality rehabilitation. The success of
HILP as the City's first leveraged loan program laid the foundation for
other program innovations. For example, Fort Wayne was one of 23 cities
selected for HUD's Small Multi-Family Rehab Demonstration project and
was awarded an Urban Development Action Grant to implement a housing rehabilitation
loan program outside the NSA's. Due to the special nature
of these projects, they are managed by the Housing Development Coordinator,
who reports to the Department Director.
Implementation of the Home Improvement Loan Program generated positive
changes within the Department. Management felt that these new directions
