Councilors say Westside Group outreach will start after training; land bank to enlist Catholic Charities for relocations
Summary
Councilors confirmed outreach for tax-delinquent properties by the Westside Group will begin after a scheduled training; the Syracuse land bank voted to have Catholic Charities assist with relocation support for residents in foreclosing homes.
Councilors discussed outreach to owners of tax-delinquent properties connected to funding for the Westside Group and said outreach would begin after a training scheduled for the week.
"So not yet. So we have a training scheduled to happen this week where we'll walk them through the entire foreclosure process. After that, they'll be able to go out. But they will be doing outreach for properties that are 1 year delinquent or less," Kimon said in response to council questions about outreach timing.
Councilor Jones Rausser said the land bank had voted to engage Catholic Charities to help with relocation assistance for people living in homes in foreclosure. "The land bank, voted to, have Catholic Charities help, assist in relocation assistance for people that are, you know, are living in houses that were foreclosing," Jones Rausser said.
Councilors asked staff to ensure outreach covers properties with shorter delinquency windows where applicable. The transcript does not show a new funding vote; councilors referenced funding that had already been approved.
