Generally these families lack adequate income with which to secure standard housing on the private market. In many cases the lack of money is not actually a causative factor but the result of fixed incomes, unemployment or underemployment due to lack of job skills. In addition to their housing problem, tenant families face numerous other problems such as health, absence of sufficient motivation, inaccessibility to child care facilities and a variety of other complex problems which prevent them from operating in the mainstream of our community life. The variety and complexity of these problems faced by these families of limited income indicate that solutions can best result from concentrated efforts on the part of those who care. It is in light of the foregoing that it is hereby proposed that the City of Corpus Christi establish, staff and financially,support a Tenant Assistance and Information Center. This office would serve as a source of assistance and information for tenants of Federally subsidized housing, specifically those in public and rent supplement housing. The function and responsibility of this office would be to assist the needy families in every way possible. It would also keep up -to -date information on all public services in Corpus Christi in order to inform and advise tenants of these services. The service can be placed administratively under the Director of Planning and Urban Development with direct supervision from the Director of Neighbor- Hood Improvement. The Tenant Assistance and Information Center would in no way attempt to perform or replace the functions of any public service agencies in the community. Rather it would enhance and further their usage by making their presence more readily known and more easily accessible. -2- • Social programs such as those now being carried out by the Housing Authority will be used to complement the services suggested in this proposal. OPERATIONAL PLAN Physical location of the Tenant Assistance and Information Center. The physical location of the Tenant Assistance and Information Center can be at the City's Neighborhood Improvement Office at 1022 Leopard. This location seems to be the most feasible since this is currently a City Office, and better control of the operation could be maintained. Adequate office space could be provided without interference to the Neighborhood Improvement operation. Staff of Tenant Assistance and Information Center. The staff would be composed of a counselor and three neighborhood aides, at least two of whom should speak Spanish as fluently as English. The job descriptions of these staff members are described below. Job Descriptions of Tenant Assistance and Information Center Staff Members. Class Title: Counselor.
