absolutely great idea helping folks – but why limit it to one specific group when there are all types of people regardless of skin color that need help.
racism…comes in every form from every color
The program is not limited to race. It’s limited to people with low-income/wealth, which when applied broadly within our city, affects Black homeownership significantly.
This program sounds racist and violates Federal Law. Civil rights act of 1964 forbids discrimination based on race, which is exactly what this program is doing.
you do realize that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 only protects against discrimination under basis of race in hiring, promoting, and firing decisions, right? or did you not read the rest of the first link on your google search?
The program is not limited to race. It’s limited to people with low- and medium-income/wealth.
Colton, if that were true, why did the courts quickly and summarily shoot down Biden’s financial aid specifically directed to black farmers affected by the pandemic last year?
Charlie H is correct that it will have to be limited to people below a certain income, regardless of race or ethnicity.
Habitat for Humanity has been and is doing this all over Indianapolis. I bet they are far more cost effective and of higher quality for lower cost than any of these programs.
It appears H4H could apply for this grant. The city does not do the work themselves. These are grants that builders, non-profits, etc. apply for and use the money to fund the project redevelopment.
Great idea! But with that should be programs about long term maintenance of the property, the structure and the yard.
And what is the City doing to increase the tree canopy. This area was once splendidly tree lined. What happened to the trees. Why were they felled. And absent and citywide policy, should the City offer carrots through programs to provide trees which increase curbside appeal and neighborhood attractiveness.
There are countless free resources about homeownership and maintenance. It’s probably best not to get the government involved in something already handled by the market.
As for trees, they provide recommendations for adding trees in their Infill Housing Guidelines, which this program references. They are not binding requirements however. The city does contract with KIBI to provide trees to neighborhoods through grants. https://www.kibi.org/community-forestry
Anyone else find it interesting that the Mayor is coming out of his hiding the last couple weeks to promote programs his administration had nothing to do with? These were all through federal government and charitable grants. He only comes out for photo-ops.
The Mayor Pete approach.
Shout out to Charlie P. with the detailed and specific replies. Appreciate your hard work!
Until the issues that caused these areas to decline are resolved the houses they rebuild will be in the same condition ten years from now.
