Department Project Title Project Number
Neighborhood Services Neighborhood Initiative Program ES0901
Project Description
The Neighborhood Initiative Program was developed in Jan. 2004. This program helps seniors, single parents and physically
challenged individuals with minor exterior home repairs. In 2007, the City Council gave an additional $90,000 for NIP and $15,000 for
Neighborhood Looks through the TXU settlement to assist low income families with emergency repairs. The Neighborhood Initiative
Program was expanded, to provide cash incentives for residential homeowners to reinvest in their homes and to provide some
monetary support to volunteer groups helping with larger exterior renovations. Donations from business and faith communities are
used to sustain the program.

Project Justification
Neighborhood Revitalization continues to be at the forefront of the City Council's goals. Encouraging homeowners to reinvest in their
homes will also give them pride in homeownership and they will be more likely to remain in our City and not turn their home into rental
property. This money is to be reinvested in the City, as long as funds are available, to maintain the quality of life desired.
In addition to NIP, this project is also used as the City’s 30% match for the HOME Program. The HOME Program was created by the
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA) and is intended to provide decent affordable housing to lower-income households,
expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers, strengthen the ability of state and local government to provide housing and
leverage private-sector participation.

Note: FY 17-18 Revised Funding from Donations Fund (110). FY 18-19 Funding from the General Fund (001).
