Mayor T e rry D.Schrunk an nounced this week that theC ity’ s application to the ijjs . Department of Housing and Urban Development fo r a five month extension of the N e ig h b o r h o o d Development Program In the Model C ities area has been turned down. There is s till an opportunity fo r favorable action, stated the Mayor, if we can revise the application within the next th irty (30) days to comply with changes In HUD internal policy. Project extensions of less than a year are no longer possible; however the Portland NDP activity to be continued for I2 month after the present contract expires July I, I^7|. I he present grant applies to the Woodlawn and Irvington neighborhoods and good pro gress is being made on Improvements In those areas, stated the Mayor. A proposed amendment to the original application is taking shape, he said, as a result of meetings with agency officials and community leaders. The general approach is to recommend a one - year extension of the NDP activity, continue funding at the same’ level except fo r an increase to meet new relocation standards and add tlie neighborhood areas X A n¡) ( A Benj.® Franklin •**«*<»• StOâHâSSM H azen .

Last year it was the turn fo r the White House Con ference on Children and Youth. The White House organizers however have planned the con ference in a manner which has alarmed many persons involved with youth work. These are some of the points of concern: • The conference has been split in two: a Conference on Children was held in Dec. I970 and a Con ference on Youth is planned for the spring of this year; • The organizers forstalled the possibility of a large conference in Washington with delegates from a comprehensive cross section of youth organizations to discuss the youth culture; • Instead they moved the sire of the conference to Estes Park in the Colorado mountains. The conference w ill be held there from A p ril I8 to A p ril 22, |97l. ( I he mountains are barely ac cessible at that time); • I he youth organizations m- vited are overwhelmingly adult- dominated and reflective of the M illde Am erica social profile. policy revisions do allow fle xi b ility to add an area which is closely related to the original project. It must be shown that progress has been made in the original target areas and that some of theprojectdollars can now be shifted to additional areas, keeping the total budget improvements. If a revised application can be developed and funded by HUD by July!, J97I separate planningdollars which had been allocated fo r the V e m - King - Sabin area could be available fo r the Model C ities Porgram to consider shifting them to increase the level of planning activity in the Humboldt, Boise and E lio t neighborhoods. To obtain NDP funds in any amount after the end of the current grant on June30, 1971, an acceptable application must be filed with HUD officials by May l. A public meeting at King School Wednesay, A p ril 7, at 7:00 pun., w ill be the fir s t of several public meetings to discuss the proposed change in the application. Speakers w ill be present that evening to conduct a town meeting type dis cussion to assure unserstanding of the technical considerations and acceptance of citizen views and opinions. Meetings with organization and agency governing bodies w ill follow in future weeks to culminate with official consideration by the C ity Council during the la tte r part of the month.
