The formal program starts at 4:00 p.m. The street festival will continue afterwards until 8:00 p.m. with food vendors, music, and booths representing other community and children's activities. For more information, call 314-241-5031 or 314-333-7004. 
Crown Square is the most significant redevelopment to take place in the Old North Saint Louis historic neighborhood in many decades. This ambitious undertaking includes the historic rehabilitation of 27 buildings into 80 mixed-income apartments, townhouses, lofts and live-work spaces and 34,000 square feet of street level commercial space, with an array of "green building" features built into the development. It includes the removal of the two-block long "pedestrian mall," tying the neighborhood back together with new streets, sidewalks, lighting, parking and other public amenities. If you are unable to make the street festival, please stop by soon and see the amazing transformation for yourself! |

Northside Community Housing, Inc., the Riverview West Florissant Development Corporation, and the Ujamma Community Development Corporation are the winning recipients of RHCDA’s 2010 Opportunity Grants. RHCDA recognizes that the financial support necessary for community development corporations (CDCs) to build organizational capacity and achieve community development goals is not as widely available as it might be. To address this need, RHCDA’s CDC Capacity Building and Collaborative Grant Program Oversight Committee approved funding in 2010 to provide a limited number of competitive “Opportunity Grants” to selected CDCs. Opportunity Grants were awarded to help CDCs complete a specific goal or neighborhood objective. |

Many St. Louis area community development corporations (CDCs) have a portfolio of HOME rental properties. It is thus increasingly important that these properties are well managed and operated in compliance with the HOME rules. This course will focus on how to evaluate and enhance the long-term value of your HOME Program units through asset management. The course will include in-depth discussions on issues such as analysis of rental portfolio management and intervention strategies for troubled projects. Participants will learn how to spot “early warning signals” in troubled projects, and oversee rental projects to ensure that these projects continue to meet HOME requirements and provide an affordable housing resource over the long term. Who Should Attend: Representatives from Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), and potential CHDOs as well as community development professionals interested in the HOME Program. Date: Thursday, May 27, 2010 Time: 9 a.m. – Noon Location: Harris Stowe State University Southwestern Bell Library – Seminar Room |
