second action y e a r
1. Portland’ s Neighborhood
Development Program (NDF) is
nearing the end of its F irs t Act
ion Year (July 1,1970-June 30,
1971). Such Program covers
p h y s ic a l
im p r o v e m e n t
activitie s in two Project Areas-
Woodlawn and Irvington — both
within
Portland’ s
Model
Neighborhood.
2. Upon advice from
HUD
officials in \Yashington,D.C. an
Application fo r extension of the
NDP F irs t Action Year fo r
a
five - month period to December
1, 1971, was filed on February 24,
1971, with the Portland Area
Office of HUD. This Application
which would perm it execution of
Program activities planned for
the F i r s t Action Year
to
continue
through the
best
weather months, has
been
approved by the Woodlawn and
Irvington neighborhood organi
zations, the M o d e lC itie s C iti-
zens* Planning Board, the P o rt
land Development Commission,
the C ity Planning Commission,
and the C ity Council.
3. The Portland Development
Commission has ju st recently
been advised that new HUD p o li
cy onNDP’ s w ill not perm it ap
proval of the Application fo r five
month extension of the NDP firs t
Action Year. H U D w ill, however
accept such Application fo r pro
cessing PROVIDED it is revised
and expanded to cover a 12
month period from July 1, 1971,
through June30,1972.
Such
revised Application w ill consti
tute a program fo r Portland’ s
NDP Second Action Year.
4. HUD has further indicated
to the[?evelopmentCommission
that it would consider a proposal
fo r the addition of a new area un
der the NDP provided HLD’ s
c rite ria fo r addition of such
area are met. It appears that
the King/Vernon/Sabin Model
C ities Planning Area is
ap-
propriate fo r inclusion as an
NDP planning area with some
possibility fo r action activities
closely related to the Woodlawn
Impact Area during the NDP
Second Action Year provided
appropriate plans
can
be
developed fo r such activities.
HUD policy, however, does not
guarantee the inclusion of king
Vernon Sabin, but it is the only
area at this time which appears
to fit HUD c rite ria fo r additional
areas.
5. king/Vem on/Sabin
are
presently included in the F re -
NDP #2 Planning
Porgram
which is funded fo r planning
activities from Model Cities
Supplemental Funds. The P re -
NDP #2 Planning
Program,
however is funded only until
A p ril 30, 1971. Budge«
have
been submitted to the
City
Demonstration Agency fo r ex
tending the present Pre-N D T^ 2
Planning Contract to June 15,
1971, to coincide with the end of
the Model C ities F irs t Action
Year, and also fo r additional
periods which would
extend
through the Model C ities Second
Action Year (June 16,1971- June
15,1972). Such funding is de
pendent upon p rio ritie s establi
shed by the Citizens’ Planning
Board and approval of the Model
C ities Second Action Year Pro
gram by HUD.
6. Under the Pre - NDP #2
planning Program , the k in g /
Vernon / Sabin
area
has
assurance of funding fo r plann
ing activities only until A p ril 30,
1971, possibly extended to June
15, 1971. There is no assurance
