Revitalizing North American Neighborhoods: A Comparison of Canadian and U.S. Programs for Neighborhood Preservation and Housing Rehabilitation
A legacy of the Memorandum of Understanding, a 5 - year agreement between the Canadian Ministry of State for Urban Affairs and HUD to share and cooperate in research and dissemination of information concerning neighborhood revitalization, this document compares and contrasts existing neighborhood preservation and housing rehabilitation programs in the two countries. It provides an overview of the existing programs which include Canada's Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) and Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) and HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan, Urban Homesteading, Neighborhood Housing Services, and Title I Home Improvement Loans programs. NIP provides loans and grants for land clearance, relocation, administration, and basic infrastructure improvements to match Canadian provincial funds on a varying basis, and RRAP, applied in NIP areas, furnishes loans to both homeowners and landlords for housing rehabilitation. The Canadian provincial governments act as the middlemen, negotiating with the Federal government for annual contracts and selecting municipalities to participate in revitalization. In contrast, municipalities in the U.S. negotiate directly with urban assistance programs. The CDBG, the largest and most comprehensive of these types of programs in the U.S., makes Federal funds available to local governments without matching grant money. Three important aspects of the programs in the two nations are contrasted: (1) their differing approaches to planning, citizen participation, and uses of funds; (2) housing quality and rent control requirements; and (3) financing mechanisms for housing rehabilitation. Appendices contain RRAP and Section 8 housing quality standards, as well as a bibliography.
