This program intends to concentrate a range of housing improvement efforts in compact Housing Improvement Nodes (HINs) of four to ten square blocks each. By focusing on housing support activities in these compact areas, this strategy aims at accelerating the creation of consis-tently positive housing conditions throughout these nodes. A total of seven (7) HINs have been identified in the Study Area.

In each area, aggressive efforts will be undertaken to preserve and improve the homes of current homeowners, to provide housing stock attractive to new homeowners, to retain and improve affordable rental housing units, and to redevelop or rehabilitate currently vacant and deteriorated properties. By focusing on these compact areas, the HIN program aims at re-establishing neighborhood stability comparatively rapidly within those nodes and increasing homeowners’ values within a few years. With significant improvement in these compact HINs, residen-tial stability would be expected to spread to adjacent blocks.

Within these HINs, a variety of resources would be brought to bear aiming at eliminating vacancy and achieving full rehabilitation/redevel-opment of all substandard properties.

For existing homeowners:Aggressive marketing of the areawide homeowner improvement and Youth Corps for home repair programs described in Page 50 (�0 to �5 supported homeowners per HIN).For appropriate properties, targeting/marketing of Cleveland Restoration Society’s (CRS) Heritage Home Program.

To reduce vacancy & expand the stock of owner-occupied properties:Matching the City’s Afford-A-Home second mortgage commit-ments with vacant homes needing rehabilitation.For appropriate properties, utilizing CRS’s Heritage Home Program to finance developer/contractor purchase plus rehab for sale in coordination with Afford-A-Home.Substantial rehabilitation of vacant homes to attract new homeowners (about 5 homes per HIN).In limited cases, constructing new homes for sale to homeowners on vacant lots. Partner with Habitat for Humanity and encourage private developers to participate (about �5 new homes per HIN).

To preserve and expand the stock of permanently affordable housing :Active monitoring of currently income restricted rentals and inter-vention to assure (�) continued availability of these properties as affordable rentals and (�) appropriate maintenance to assure that these properties remain quality rental options. Careful assessment of opportunities for acquisition and moderate rehabilitation of rental properties in a joint development partner-ship with CMHA to add to the long-term affordable housing stock

To reduce vacancy & expand the stock of quality rental housing:Substantial rehabilitation of vacant and/or severely deteriorated, but salvageable smaller (4 to �� unit) multi-family buildings as quality rentals (three to four properties per HIN).Assist responsible landlords to improve and maintain their current rental properties.

In total, for each HIN, we envision the critical repair of all current homeowner units requiring such intervention, the attraction of approxi-mately �0 new homeowners to substantially rehabilitated and newly constructed units, the preservation of all currently affordable rental units, and the rehabilitation and re-occupancy of three to four deterio-rated multi-family properties.

This strategy anticipates that concentrated efforts in the seven HINs will be phased to allow for sufficient targeting of development and capital resources to be effective. However, initial efforts are expected to begin in a first HIN within two years and activity will begin in all HINs within five years.
