Property Insurance may Federal Housing Grant The Portland City council formally applied today for $4.3 million in new federal funds for the development of affordable housing. The HOME Invest ment Partnership Program is an entitle ment grant to local governments ad ministered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury introduced the ordinance and stressed the importance of federal funds to help solve local affordable housing prob lems. “The HOME grants mark the first new federal commitment to housing in a dozen years,” she said. Multnomah County, the City of Gresham and the City of Portland have agreed to work together as a Consor tium to receive and administer the HOME grant for the next three years. The City of Portland is the “lead” agency in the Consortium and is responsible for submitting the grant application. Staff from the three jurisdictions have been working on program priori ties identified in the five year, Compre hensive Housing Affordability Strat egy (CHAS) adopted in December, 1991. “This is a great example of how local governments can work together. The HOME funds will help us in tack ling many of the affordable housing needs identified in the county wide CHAS,” Kafoury said. The funds are limited by federal regulation to acquisition, rehabilitation and construction of affordable housing for low income persons. The proposed program budget includes the develop ment of approximately 250 units of housing and providing rental assistance to 200 households. HOME rules require that 15% of local entitlements be set aside for projects sponsored by Com munity Housing Development Organi zations (CHDOs). CHDOs arc non profit housing developers which must meet specific board representation re quirements, such as Reach Community Development and Northeast Commu nity Development Corporation. Each jurisdiction will budget for projects carried out within their areas (P ortland budget is $3,404,595; Gresham budget is $261,815; and Mult nomah County budget is $366,135). back to the youth coming behind you.” BRIAN SIM S-(lead tenor) gradu ate of Madison High School and at tended courses at PCCCa scade i n Com - municalions. Presently, he is a practic ing hair stylist at Studio 14. Brian sang with “Unity” for seven years before their disbandment. He is the senior member of the group at the age of 26. He says he appreciates his mother’s unselfish act of opening her home to the group by allowing them to hold Bible Study every Monday before practice. He is an accomplished vocalist and has assisted in the arrangement of the son “Blessings,” a song the group did early on in their career. Brian shares—’’Re member the Lord in the days of thy youth and just remember to trust in the Lord and He will lead you in the right way.” JERRY HARRIS (lead vocalist/ keyboards) a member of Maranatha Church, Jerry has travelled extensively and has played for some of the greats. He is quiet-spoken and non-assuming but the Lord has blessed him with so much talent. He is one of three children born to Zola and Jerry Harris. Jerry performed on the 1987 Edwin Hawkins’ album “Have Mercy” in Oakland, Cali fornia. His goal: to have a successful ministry to the youth and to produce other groups. ____ On Saturday, April 4, 1992, at 7 o ’clock in the evening, at Jefferson High School’s auditorium, I-ZAYA will sing everyone’s hearts happy. Come out for an evening of praise and worship. Come out to be fed by the Word in song. The evening event is being produced by SEI (Self Enhance ment Incorporation) and I-GUY Pro ductions. Tickets are being sold at the following locations: Proverb Book Store, One Stop Record Store, and House of Sound. Members of SEI will be in the role of ushers and/or Master of Ceremony. “Funds from the night’s performance will go towards the pro gram activities at Jefferson High School,” says Rick Allen, SEI Coordi nator at Whitaker Middle School/SEI Activities Director. Mrs. McCuller says that what the group has become is what it will take to reach the youth in this community. God has allowed her to be an instru mental source to I-ZAYA. God has a specific mission or this group. “These young men could be any where other than here but God has kept them set apart for a reason and a spe cific person. In due time everyone will be able to see God’s plan.” She says her scripture for I-ZAY A is “...with man, it is impossible; but, with God, everything is possible.” ' ’S,' I t _______ Call for Information 1 -8 0 0 -6 6 6 -0 3 1 2 5 0 3 -2 2 3 -2 2 4 5 BANK l T nder Continued from page four Wo L ine O f C redit . 2.
