HomeMy WebLinkAboutCity Council - 5766 RESOLUTION NO. 5766 RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE WEEK BEGINNING APRIL 11, 1987, AS "NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK" WHEREAS, the federal community development block grant program has operated since 1974 to provide the City of Huntington Beach with the resources required to meet the needs of our residents low and moderate income; and Community development block grant funds are channeled to neighborhood-based nonprofit organizations throughout the City of Huntington Beach to address pressing neighborhood and human service needs; and The fiscal policies of the federal government for the last several years have been designed to reduce the federal assistance provided to local governments and nonprofit organizations vested with the responsibility of meeting the needs of persons of low and moderate income; and During this time of constricted federal contributions to the task of meeting the needs of persons of low and moderate income, the problem of maintaining a decent standard of living in urban America has increased, as evidenced here in he City of Huntington Beach by the dwindling supply of affordable housing; and During this time of federal withdrawal from responsibility, the Community Development Block Grant Program has assumed increasing importance as an instrument for meeting pressing community problems; and The nature of the Community Development Block Grant Program, with its diversity of program design and administration 1 . and its facility for being last resort funding, has often caused the Congress and the nation to overlook the critical value of the program and the significant number of organizations and projects in our community that rely on its funds for support; and A week recognizing national community development will encourage local governments, nonprofit organizations, and community residents throughout the City of Huntington Beach to reaffirm the significance and diversity of our local community development program efforts toward meeting the needs of persons of low and moderate income; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Huntington Beach, that the week beginning April 11, 1987, is designated "National Community Development Week, " and the Mayor of the City of Huntington Beach is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the City of Huntington Beach to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
