Overview

Numerous funds have been identified including HOME, CDBG, CDBG SIO, Lead Safe Cuyahoga, County Demolition Fund, Healty Homes Fund, SBA Grant, Economic Development Fund, HRRC Challenge Fund, County HELP Loan, CRS Heritage Home Loan to coincide with identified target areas of Master Plan. Lead Safe Cuyahoga, and CDBG Paint and Violation Repair programs are focusing efforts on target areas by offering reduced match dollars and priority scheduling. The Housing Inspection Department utilizes an inspector designated specifically to HUD LMI areas which directly overlay the city's target investment areas.

A city wide CRA has been passed by City Council and the State of Ohio which provides tax abatement incentives for new construction and renovation. The CRA map can be found on the City's website. City staff has met with interested parties to discuss renovation and new construction projects including in-fill housing.

Additional funding sources are continually sought out in order to help our citizens. Additional CDBG fund were made available in for a Strategic Impact Opportunity grant which the Housing Preservation Office has been awarded $50,000 in funds to aid LMI homeowners in violation repair and home painting. Home Repair Resource Center has also received $50,000 to bring back their home purchase/rehab program in order to renovate a home in a target neighborhood. The Housing Preservation Office was granted $494,200 from HUD through the Cuyahoga County Board of Health to continue our Lead Safe Cuyahoga program for 2018-2021 .

The City has recieved $399,000 from Cuyahoga County for demolition of abandoned and blighted properties. The City has adopted a fix-it-first policy to it's housing stock but the county funding is crucial for eliminating the blight of properties that cannot be repaired.

City staff has is orkingw with our CDC partners including HRRC, Future Heights, Start Right to transfer vacant or tax delinquent properties to them with the help of the County Land Bank for renovation. The City has approved its own CIC in order to facilitate the transfer of properties to our partners, and will be filing the articles of organization soon.

Vacant lots and properties continue to be strategically acquired in target areas. The vacant lot committee has reviewed the vacant property list in conjunction with our target areas and identified potential development sites, potential side lot program sites, and designated green space locations.

The City Housing Department has a new software agreement with CitizenServe Inc. through the efforts of First Suburbs Housing Committee. The City has joined together with 6 other inner ring suburbs to request proposals from multiple companies for a Regional Code Enforcement Software. The implemetation process has begun and the Contractor Registration portion is complete. Building Permits and Rental registrations are underway to be followed by Housing Code Enforcement, Zoning and Property Maintenance.

Staff is orkingw on the 14th National Register District and on legislation that would permit designation of local landmark districts.

Page 31 Cain Park continues to be a focal point of the Cleveland Heights Parks and Recreation Department. In the past year, staff has been diligent in making needed repairs to the facilities such as roof repairs to the Feinberg Art Gallery (replaced May 2018) and Evans Amphitheater (repaired May 2018), bathroom upgrades (2017), tennis court upgrades (2017), concession stand upgrades (2017) and retention wall maintenance. In 2019, the City will repair and replace the Alma Theater roof in the spring (weather permitting) prior to the 2019 summer season production of Ragtime.

With regard to expanding program offerings throughout the year, staff ontinuesc to research potential sponsors and partners to address the potential funding issues. The current budget still does not allow for season expansion, but creative partnerships may provide opportunities for small events or limited special events in the park. Staff is ontinuingc to look for potential sponsors to supplement City funds for expanded operations. We have not identified a partner as of yet.

The 2019 Cain Park season (the 81st season) featured a diverse array of talent and big shows including Lyle Lovett, Air Supply, the Multi-Music Fest, India.Arie, Dionne Warwick and more. The annual musical theater production will be Ragtime. This season also featured movie showings in the Alma Theater such as scary hit Get Out and much more. The Cain Park Art's Festival featured approximately 130 artists booths in 2018 along with good music and food for attendees. With an improved application process, staff has seen an increase in applicant interest and the quality of the art submittals. Final selection of participants occurred in March 2019 with the actual festival taking place the second weekend in July.
