NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY

During our recent neighborhood planning process, residents helped HACE set its priorities for the coming years. HACE will:

• Restore the confidence of the residents and investors in the neighborhood marketplace.
• Focus on large-scale, visible developments which anchor the area and give neighboring homeowners, local and outside investors the confidence to invest in additional business and residential projects.
• Contribute to a broad effort in promoting a safe and secure community.
• Work with community residents and city officials to clear vacant homes and devastated blocks in order to eliminate safety and health hazards.
• Create employment and business opportunities for residents and local companies.
• Create job opportunities which is the highest priority voiced by residents. Our neighborhood development program will create jobs in the construction trades, home repair and property management. HACE will step up its activities in commercial development, focusing on supporting businesses and job opportunities for local residents.
• Mix housing and commercial development in each anchor development area.
• Develop quality retail shopping and services which residents need just as they need larger, better, and affordable housing. Our population is increasing, which presents clear commercial development and job opportunities.
• Create more open space and recreation areas for residents. Designate vacant lots and properties for small parks. Designate larger yards for new housing to be developed.
