HOUSING DMSION OUARTERLY ACTMTY REPORT
The Development Department Housing Division is responsible for initiating and facilitating a
wide variety of housing programs, activities and development projects. These activities are
designed to pro-actively revitalize both existing housing stock and new development activity
within the San Bernardino community. In an effort to market/promote the accomplishments of
the Housing Division, and to continuously inform the Housing Committee and the Community
Development Commission regarding various Housing activities, the attached quarterly report is
provided. . .
It is important to note that the quarterly report focuses on accomplishments, and is not
representative of the significant volume of activity necessary to achieve the desired results.
Additionally, the quarterly report does not include projects which may reasonably be included
as division accomplishments given the fact the Agency's role in the project is all but complete.
These projects, however, require certain actions of other entities, such as private lending
institutions and the City's development review departments. Such projects will only be
included in the Division's quarterly activity report when staff is certain that the projects will be
successfully consummated.
Staff strongly believes that the quarterly report represents an excellent vehicle for information
to be presented on the various accomplishments of the Housing Division.
At its meeting conducted on Tuesday, August 10, 1993, the Housing Committee received and
filed this item and recommended the forwarding of same to the Community Development
Commission.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
