RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF FUTURE
NJ DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION FUNDING
WHEREAS, the Borongh of Carteret has received NJ Department of Community Affairs
Neighborhood Preservation Program funding ftom 2004 through June 2009;
'VHEREAS, it has come to our. attention that the Neighborhood Preservation Program
(NPP) funding is being eliminated ftom'the New Jersey's 2009 Budget."
'VIiEREAS, Carteret supports reinstatement of future NPP funding, as we believe the
program serves as a 30 year model of successful community revitalization for New
Jersey's low and moderate income families.
'VHEREAS, the Carteret NPP Program works to implement improvement activities in
the Chrome Neighborhood, inclnding housing rehabilitation, as well as a variety of
community revitalization strategies that are a catalyst for community improvements. The
Carteret Program leverages private funding, working with the various private sector
programs, including the Carteret special improvement district. NPP program activities
leverage other public funding programs that bring comprehensive revitalization activities
including commercial property & housing rehabilitation, infrastmcture and public access
area enhancements, establishment of a neighborhood organization, youth, public safety &
anti-litter programs.
WHEREAS, the impact of the loss of funding for the Neighborhood Preservation
Program will be tremendous for low and moderate income communities throughout New
Jersey. These planned improvements are networked through community-based, self-help
initiatives crafted from Neighborhood Preservation Program leveraging models. The
program stmcture teaches the commùnity how to help itself
'.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the Borough of Carteret supports reinstatement
of the Neighborhood Preservation Program funding into the 2009 Budget Year, which
will serve to continue revitalization programs in low and moderate income community
neighborhoods.
