Title A Resolution approving the application by Housing Initiative Partnership, Inc. to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development for funding through the Community Legacy Financial Assistance Fund Background Housing Initiative Partnership, Inc. (“HIP”), a Maryland nonprofit organization and County approved Community Housing Development Organization, has applied to the State of Maryland’s Department of Housing and Community Development for $500,000 in Community Legacy funds to support its redevelopment work in Bladensburg and Palmer Park. HIP proposes to use Community Legacy funds to carry out its “Acquisition and Rehab” program, in which HIP would acquire and rehabilitate four vacant and/or derelict single family homes, hire local and/or minority businesses, and incorporate “green elements” into the design and construction of these homes. The project would promote the overall objectives of the Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development’s Five Year Consolidated Plan and FY 2011 Annual Action Plan. Further, the project would focus on neighborhood revitalization and boost property values. The State of Maryland requires local legislative support for each Community Legacy Program application in unincorporated areas. 10/19/2010: Discharged from THE Committee on a motion from Council Member Olson; seconded by Council Member Campos. Motion carried 9-0.
