Staff reported the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) formula allocation for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds as $841,005.29 for the coming program year and a HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) allocation of $424,074. Staff said CDBG represents an increase of about $41,000 from the prior year while HOME is down by roughly $5,000. Program income from loan repayments also will contribute to available resources. Staff said the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency awarded $165,000 for an urgent‑repair program and $70,000 toward a construction‑training program (staff said the construction‑training program totals $140,000, with the city providing the remaining $70,000). The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program allocation was listed at $14,500 and the city general fund contribution reported as $2,181,283.

Staff described draft priorities focused on housing, homelessness and special‑needs populations (including the elderly and persons with disabilities), and said limited resources make it infeasible to address a broad slate of public‑facility and infrastructure projects within this consolidated plan. Staff explained that the consolidated plan will guide CDBG and HOME investments and that the annual action plan is the strategic plan for how those funds will be used in the coming program year.

Staff said public outreach has begun: an initial public meeting was held in May and another public meeting is scheduled for June (timed with a Citizens Advisory Council meeting). Staff said the draft plan will be posted for a 30‑day public review and comment period in June and, depending on public comments, the plan will be returned to the committee for a public hearing and requested approval at the end of July.

Committee members raised questions about addressing \"NIMBY\" opposition to affordable‑housing projects and how to encourage community support. Staff emphasized education to counter myths about affordable housing, the role of the pending housing study in shaping recommendations (including zoning and density suggestions) and the importance of incentives and subsidized capital—citing the housing impact fund as one tool to provide favorable financing to preserve affordability. Staff and council members also discussed innovation in construction—such as 3‑D printing and other nontraditional methods—to reduce costs and recommended further exploration of such approaches regionally.

Staff described the city’s homebuyer education classes (virtual sessions offered the first and third Saturdays of each month), a preferred‑lender list that has completed program training and the availability of down‑payment assistance and other resources to help prospective buyers access financing. Staff said homebuyer classes are free and that participation increased during the pandemic when classes shifted to a virtual format.

Staff will continue outreach and return with a draft plan for public comment and a subsequent hearing and approval request depending on the input received.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Development Committee Meeting | 6-3-25 | 4 p.m.","oneSentenceSummary","City staff presented draft priorities for High Point’s five‑year consolidated plan and the 2025–26 annual action plan, reporting CDBG and HOME allocations and recommending focus on housing, homelessness and special‑needs populations; a 30‑day public comment period is planned before a July hearing.","taxTitle","High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina","taxId",4908,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544504,"City staff previews new local‑codes activity dashboard showing case counts by ward",293,750000,1043000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736&start=750&end=1043","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736/thumbnail_750000.jpg","/articles/6544504/High-Point/Guilford-County/North-Carolina/City-staff-previews-new-localcodes-activity-dashboard-showing-case-counts-by-ward","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544504-26aede321bb887db277b4e829317b2cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1773749336&Signature=Dgqcof8anKpj16pl~rhSS7IsHoXDsyMj2LacBEi9bPUrTv6IrLGovBzdYywWGdEFsv5-P7WyZhdZ4nWHVISW0WW~EVWtGdQDz7m9Qza0hK~vqlo1Frtt-WO~Gmp10mMucyDHlXS2CqKUOuX-y3p44841iwZOf4u6T2CxeNYQ7~ofODJz4giLyvABUgF6T-q7XIgv6U4tZvJGuZWr3a7YE4JGLn5RMuOY1AaTSVRAeEAxtX26LCTPDiQz6b92D0VaA248b9a7TtwrFn4cLgtptzNtbrKSTxTERIRuSnJ28VfRcxu0MYxNlRcuoecDBgPxSo-EjMZ82nX3M05i0xOcQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff demonstrated a new Local Codes Activity Dashboard to the High Point Community Development Committee on June 3 that is intended to let the public and council members search and map local code enforcement cases and view basic case details and status.

Staff said the dashboard will let users filter by record type—public nuisance (PV), zoning violations (DV) and minimum housing (HV)—open dates and ward/district. For May 2025 staff reported 265 public‑nuisance cases (143 city‑initiated, 122 citizen complaints), 39 zoning complaints (24 city‑initiated, 15 citizen complaints) and 9 minimum‑housing complaints (1 city‑initiated, 8 citizen complaints). Staff showed how a user can select substandard housing, set an open‑date range (e.g., May 1 to present) and choose a ward to see case counts for that area.

In a live demonstration staff clicked a map popup to show a sample case record. The popup displayed address, record ID, case topic (for example, order to repair, repair/demolish, or 48‑hour order), case description, open and close dates, the case manager, owner/party cited and a corrected status showing whether staff had closed the case after the owner repaired violations.

Council members praised the ability to filter by ward and asked whether searches could be done by owner; staff said there is not an owner search in the current public version but described a forthcoming deeper search capability using an internal tool called \"building blocks\" that would allow staff to search by owner or whether a property is rental or owner‑occupied. Staff said the dashboard is not yet live and they sought committee input before publication.

Committee members indicated support and asked staff to proceed after any recommended changes.","High Point staff demonstrated a new interactive local‑codes activity dashboard that allows the public and council members to search public nuisance, zoning and minimum‑housing cases by ward and date and view case details and status.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544509,"Committee forwards demolition ordinance for 402 Cable Street after fire damage and owner contact",258,462000,720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736&start=462&end=720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736/thumbnail_462000.jpg","/articles/6544509/High-Point/Guilford-County/North-Carolina/Committee-forwards-demolition-ordinance-for-402-Cable-Street-after-fire-damage-and-owner-contact","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544509-398021cfdf62b6082a5a64ec04edf543/orig.mp4?Expires=1773749336&Signature=RQjecBIEnr99XieZ7RxhfLC3PNeIISZv3pQ2pN9Wztxxy~BR3rTvOjfyWzwfFh05Hzt1Q9tQ09TItVUV3NwtvCWi2tbxXMaQiFWdxHKtn149UpBjG~j~IUDf6cIjh7bnAqToUBy2CphjDg3lfvkKKReYa7b0QfYr3K2lcjq0TBtwhm4FLeIySt-Mzs2rIU9pMRFTL5ZY8vHVpthK2urt04of5eYW5lvrxH0ZLK7FIGzgNJqV9XRw7z39jPHH7RgsQWpwE4TZOoKgn5KBGDebIEuq3Wyfb4lKnAEKQrSQNHEpLsxUWbYdnFB002SlO9hmT3XRoHouvSEOPwWI3NKrsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The High Point Community Development Committee on June 3 approved forwarding a demolition ordinance for 402 Cable Street to the full City Council following staff testimony that the house was a total loss from fire, had been secured and mowed, and that an heir to the property said she planned to apply for a demolition permit.

Staff said the complaint and notice of hearing for the property were held Jan. 6, 2025; an order to repair or demolish was issued Jan. 7 with a compliance due date of Feb. 7, 2025. As of May 23, 2025, staff reported no repairs had been completed nor had demolition permits been obtained. Staff told the committee that the heir, identified in the transcript as Juanita Totten, contacted staff the day of the meeting and said she planned to obtain a demolition permit the following day; staff also noted that past promises to obtain permits had not been followed through.

Committee discussion noted that the case had been initiated by the fire department. Staff displayed photographs of extensive interior fire damage—charred insulation, wiring and sheetrock—and said the property had been secured and that neighbors had complained about the condition of the home. Staff added that county or city personnel had instructed occupants they could not remain and that the identified occupant had since relocated.

In discussion about process, staff told the committee that in similar cases staff proceeds with the demolition‑ordinance process but will remove an item from the council agenda if the owner comes in and obtains a demolition permit and makes visible remedial efforts before council action. The committee voted by voice to forward the ordinance to the full City Council; the motion was moved and seconded and a voice vote of \"Aye\" was recorded in the transcript without a roll‑call tally.

Because the heir indicated immediate plans to apply for a permit, staff said the item could be withdrawn from the council docket if the owner follows through before final council action.","High Point’s Community Development Committee voted to forward a demolition ordinance for 402 Cable Street to the full City Council after staff reported the building was fire‑damaged, secured, and the heir planned to seek a demolition permit.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544513,"Committee approves forwarding demolition ordinance for 910 Worth Street to full council",218,237000,455000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736&start=237&end=455","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3642328-d13ee3a32c4e763edb18cb5c034ed736/thumbnail_237000.jpg","/articles/6544513/High-Point/Guilford-County/North-Carolina/Committee-approves-forwarding-demolition-ordinance-for-910-Worth-Street-to-full-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544513-8834d30ed2480417c51dd0451d134703/orig.mp4?Expires=1773749336&Signature=gz1SDvaoOcYxAK1WuBdoZNgChszX3B3djdcVBJafbzAuknEURFRsdZ0mI2trkKM242By4S-JxYlw8X52s2cC3g8MIXtQFkeMrg4YnLUTt8~7CoBHDzX0WXS0SRcHfIwR3rHktebGmIgTBEcHBrirE2XsI5XcFfkbEqtmcl~BNTDuLFUIlG4tRAmWlaj-vmHOd5dvX5qpyC1N1I942a2i9mR8izNEQIhXwrTYekziE8RVsDMAKG6mRM2ejB-Y8qwfF6E-4IoKD4dGbD54cGTfRspgmQdXTzr3WFcccfESde9gMcPJZX9TCtsappXuoID6YElTrAkcpk-dHRihEbzVWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The High Point Community Development Committee on June 3 voted to approve forwarding a demolition ordinance for the dwelling at 910 Worth Street to the full City Council after staff reported the property remained unrepaired despite an active minimum‑housing case. Committee Chair Tyrone Johnson moved to approve the agenda item and a committee member seconded; members present voted verbally \"Aye.\" The vote was taken without a recorded roll call in the meeting transcript and the motion was advanced to the full council.

City staff told the committee that a complaint and notice of hearing for the property were held in December 2023 and an order to repair or demolish was issued shortly after; staff said no repairs or permits had been obtained as of May 23, 2025. Staff noted one phone conversation with the owner, identified in the transcript as Mr. Lucas, in February, during which the owner said he was trying to sell the property. Staff said there has been no sale and no substantive remediation activity since the minimum‑housing case opened.

Photos shown to the committee, which staff said were taken from outside the structure because interior access was unsafe, depict extensive overgrowth, a collapsed front‑porch roof and areas where the floor had caved in. Staff also said the property has multiple abandoned vehicles and that a contractor has been assigned to mow and clear shrubbery as part of an active public‑nuisance case to secure the site.

Committee members asked clarifying questions about the abandoned vehicles and the property condition. The motion to approve the agenda item was made by Chair Tyrone Johnson and seconded by another committee member; the committee chair then called for a voice vote, which passed with members saying \"Aye.\" The committee recorded no roll‑call tally in the public transcript.

Because the committee voted to forward the demolition ordinance, the item will next appear before the full City Council for final action. Staff did not announce a date for the council hearing during the committee meeting.","The High Point Community Development Committee voted to approve sending a demolition ordinance for the unsafe dwelling at 910 Worth Street to the full City Council after staff reported long‑standing minimum‑housing violations and no owner remediation.","actionData","errors"]
