The City of Portland proposes to amend its Consolidated Plan
Action Plan 2005-06 and Action Plan 2006-07 as follows:
The Action Plan 2004-05 established a $570,000 pool of CDBG
fu n d s fo r the E n te rp ris e C o m m u n ity C o m m issio n fo r a
neighborhood Economic Development Fund. BHCD entered into
a contract in 2004-05 for $50,000 with the NE Workforce Center,
to cover program delivery costs associated with acting as fiscal
agent for the ECC Economic Development Fund. $85,000 was
reserved for technical assistance to microenterprises that received
funding through the RFP in 2005-06 and 2006-07. The remaining
funds were to be distributed over two years by a community panel
made up of the Enterprise Community Commission members and
other key community leaders.
The ECC issued Requests for Proposals in 2005 and 2006. To be
eligible, a project must further a National Objective: community
based developm ent organization (CBDO); special economic
development activity (SED): micro-enterprise development (MED);
or Administration and Planning (PL). A project must also agree to
serve only persons with household incomes no greater than 80%
MFI, or be a qualified microenterprise, or be a small business
creating jobs that would be filled only by persons with household
incomes no greater than 80% MFI.
In the 2005-06 RFP, the Community Panel selected 4 small
business and microenterprise projects and 2 workforce projects
to be funded from the Economic Development Fund, as follows:
A. Small Business Microenterprise: $104,498 total award to
develop 4.5 jobs
1. CEC, Inc., $26,998 awarded to develop 1 job, match total
$6,749
2. Elliot E-Mat Café, $30,000 awarded to develop 2 jobs, match
