Target Investment Neighborhood (TIN) Program

Pairing Targeted Housing Rehabilitation with Complementary Community Development Activities

Page 18: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

What is a TIN?

• Target Investment Neighborhood (TIN) program designed to concentrate resources for maximum impact in a small (8-12 block) area.

• Home rehabilitation resources available to complement existing ongoing neighborhood quality of life initiatives.

Page 19: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

How are TINs funded• Home rehabilitation activity funded by federal

funds (HOME and CDBG), General Purpose Revenue and Philanthropic Foundations.

• Programming administered by Department of City Development’s Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation (NIDC).

Page 20: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

Resources available in TINs• Home Rehabilitation Program

– Provides rehabilitation loans (combination of payback, deferred and forgivable) of up to $30,000 to make needed repairs to homeowners with income at or below 80% Area Median Income.

• Rental Rehabilitation Program– Provides forgivable loans up to $15,000 per unit to responsible

investor owners. Funds must be matched by landlord and units must meet HOME affordability requirements.

• Support for Community Improvement Projects– Funding support, technical assistance, and capacity building

provided by NIDC in partnership with other City Departments. – Projects must engage residents and enhance the

neighborhood.

Role of TIN Community Partners

• Assist residents with application process• Generate interest in carrying out Community

Improvement Projects

Page 27: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

Characteristics of Successful TINs

• “Right size” area where investment can have spill over impact (8-12 blocks).

• Existing partners to support TIN success– BIDS, non-profit organizations, block clubs

• Assess owner occupancy and homeowner income data– Likelihood of owners qualifying for loan

programs.• “Middle Market” neighborhoods with sufficient

numbers of homeowners <80% AMI.

2014 TINs• Pulaski Park• Burnham/Layton• Merrill Park• Mitchell/Kosciuszko• Martin Drive• Borchert Field• Century City• St. Joseph’s• Woodlands

Page 29: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

TIN History• 600+ home rehabilitation projects in last 10

years in the TINs, resulting in more than $10 million in targeted investment.

• 38% of rehabilitation contracts awarded to minority-owned firms.

• TIN areas have been selected to support City economic development initiatives.

Page 30: Targeting Neighborhood Revitalization

Clustering of Resources• City works with TIN partners to coordinate

“bricks and mortar” housing rehabilitation with ongoing quality of life initiatives.

• During implementation of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), City prioritized foreclosure rehabilitation projects in the TINs.– Eight foreclosed homes acquired and rehabilitated for

resale within two block section of Uptown Crossing TIN.
