As you may know by now, the Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA)will be pursuing the latest HOPE VI Grant opportunity to come out of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We will be submitting our application electronically on or before November 22nd of this year and in addition to having to tweak the application we submitted last November, we will also be expanding the scope of the project which among other things, means additional units.
One of the requirements of our 2009 submission was that we hold six (6) community charettes prior to the submission of our application. This time around is no different. The first charette will be held on Thursday, September 23rd and the purpose of this first charette will be to update all of our Community Stakeholders that worked with us during the Blueprint Communities process.This event will be very similar to the December 2008 holiday event which as you may remember, was a huge success and of course we will be sharing with the community details regarding the HOPE VI project. The members of the Blueprint Community core team: Councilwoman Stephanie Bolden, Lynn Buchanan, Carolyn Martin-Pettaway, Dr Will Robinson, Eugene Rudder, Roger Turk, Tanya Washington and Irmina Williams want you to be there, so SAVE THIS DATE: September 23, 2010 at 6:00PM at Kingswood Community Center which of course is located at 2300 Bowers Street in Wilmington, Delaware.
Please feel free to call me should you have any questions.
Just as an FYI, the charettes subsequent to September 23rd are September 30th, October 12th, October 21st,October 28th and November 4th. They will all be informative and hopefully well attended but not as extravagant as the September 23rd charette.
See you soon,
Eugene
