Meeting Location has Changed
                                                                                                                     Wednesday, April 3, 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, second floor in City Hall to state our case re: CDBG money allocation.  Might be advantageous for us to get on radar  w/ Vince Dejoy, our new DOD director. I also propose that we have a quick follow up meeting at the same location--I'm sure there will be available meeting space At City Hall.  

  • JNP Food Drive (BOB)
  • Neighborhood Clean Up
  • Follow Up Info re: mtg with Todd Peterson
  • Lilian Dixon Park Info
  • Open Discussion
  • Community Gardening

IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE COMPLETE ATTACHED SURVEY AND BRING WITH YOU TO MEETING. 
I WILL READ A STATEMENT RE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS, SO PLEASE FORWARD INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY SEE AS MOST PRESSING.

Three Acquisitions

In the last blog update we featured properties that are scheduled for demolition-homes that will no longer be a blight on our neighborhood. In this blog update we're going to focus on rehabilitation. Both of the single-family homes that are featured below have been acquired by county agencies (in conjunction with PRIDE) and will undergo extensive rehabilitation in the coming year.

The Lincoln Street Property-already in reasonable condition-has been obtained by Chautauqua Opportunities Inc. This redo will feature a remodeled kitchen and bath plus interior and exterior cosmetic changes. PRIDE is looking forward to its completion, when it will go on the market to be sold to an eligible first-time home buyer.

8th Street Youth Build House (CHRIC)
Currently in progress, CHRIC is doing an amazing job restoring this old Arts and Crafts home.

Grant Street: Restored and SOLD!!! This property required serious rehabilitation. Chautauqua Home Rehabilitation and Improvement Corporation. CHRIC has transformed this home-both inside and out. CHRIC has done extensive renovations to the exterior, which included installing a new roof, beefing up the foundation and installing new, state of the art siding. CHRIC likes to say that they "take the worst house on the block and transform it into the best." Northside PRIDE is very appreciative of this partnership and is happy that this old Dutch-colonial home found a homeowner who is proud to live on the Northside.
