PUBLIC HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS <br /> Included in the Attachment Section is a copy of the Chapel <br /> Hill Housing Department' s Five - Year Comprehensive Improvements <br /> Assistance Program Summary. <br /> f. PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENT INITIATIVES <br /> The Town of Chapel Hill, Department of Housing and Community <br /> Development will continue to work with the Resident Management <br /> Corporation, Airport Gardens, to study the feasibility of selling <br /> the Airport Gardens apartments to public housing residents. <br /> Three of the public housing neighborhoods applied to HUD for <br /> a Resident Management technical assistance grant to provide <br /> training and assistance with the certification Resident Management <br /> Corporations. The leaders of the seven resident associations with <br /> elected officers comprise the Resident Management technical <br /> assistance grant to provide training and assistance with the <br /> certification Resident Management Corporations. <br /> The leaders of the seven resident associations with elected <br /> officers comprise the Residents ' Council. The Council meets bi- <br /> monthly at the Department of Housing and Community Development. <br /> The following topics, among others, have appeared on their agendas: <br /> forming a community watch (DARE officers) , organizing an anti-crime <br /> march, the Drug Elimination Grant proposal and the Public Housing <br /> Residents Empowerment Project. <br /> Trinity Court and Airport Gardens are the only associations <br /> with meeting sites available to them on their property so they have <br /> significantly more activities than the other associations . Other <br /> associations, however, still benefit from local agencies who bring <br /> their programs to the public housing communities - agencies <br /> including Cooperative Extension' s nutrition program and Planned <br /> Parenthood' s Minority Involvement Project. <br /> 41 <br />
