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).

municalions. Presently, he is a practic
ing hair stylist at Studio 14. Brian sang
with “Unity” for seven years before

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

way.”

album “Have Mercy” in Oakland, Cali
fornia. His goal: to have a successful

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.”
