Parks is requesting funding for the renovation of the Littles-Martin House.
The home was relocated to Heritage Park area which is located on a
CDBG census tract. Heritage Park contains historic preservation homes
that are registered in the National Registry. The Littles-Martin home is not
eligible for historic preservation because it was relocated from another site.
However, Littles-Martin is a registered landmark. Heritage Park is Corpus
Christi's historic park which hosts and supports many art and cultural
activities, as well as a variety of community events throughout the year.
The home was restored by the National Association of Colored People
(NAACP) to serve as its Corpus Christi headquarters. However, significant
weather events have damaged the home. The Parks Department is
requesting CDBG funding for the preservation of the home.

Enforcement Division of Development Services - 9 Compliance Officers at
100% and 1 Administrative Support II at 100% for special enforcement
activities associated with the investigation, notification and abatement of
ordinance violations in CDBG eligible areas. This amount includes benefits

benefits low-income persons in CDBG eligible areas to aid in the
prevention/elimination of slums or blight. All CDBG eligible census tracts in

national objective of serving the low-income clients. Code Enforcement's
"special effort" mission is to strengthen neighborhoods, by preventing the
deterioration of housing and properties in all CDBG eligible areas, through

Division utilizes CDBG funds to provide Code Enforcement activities within
designated areas meeting low-income levels identified by HUD. These
activities are a "special effort" in addition to the regular Code Enforcement
activities provided citywide and funded by the general fund. The CDBG
special activity is defined as a more concentrated effort to assist in housing
rehabilitation and housing preservation in deteriorating areas, where
combined with other public or private improvements, rehabilitation, or
services, would be expected to prevent or eliminate slum and blighted
conditions within the area.
