City of Battle Creek, Michigan 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan Neighborhoods Inc., the City of Battle Creek, Community Action, and Habitat for Humanity will continue to support the revitalization of the North Central Neighborhood with CDBG and/or HOME funding. Specific programs include rehabilitation for homeowners and homebuyers, and minor home repair. Local banks and other lending institutions may also participate in some of these programs. Battle Creek Code Compliance will continue to provide stimulus for improvements to the neighborhood’s housing stock, with partial funding through the CDBG program. These efforts will be focused on improving existing rental housing conditions, as well as assisting homeowners to comply with the City Housing Code. These activities are critically important in improving the overall health of the North Central Neighborhood. Wilson/Coburn/Roosevelt Neighborhood. The Wilson/Coburn/Roosevelt Neighborhood is located near the geographic center of Battle Creek and is bounded by Riverside Drive on the east, Territorial Road on the south, Jackson Street on the north, and 20th Street (Springfield City limits) on the west. This neighborhood has a strong Hispanic population, with 7.8% of the residents reporting Hispanic or Latino origin. The neighborhood suffers from comparatively high unemployment and crime rates, as well as significant housing deterioration throughout the neighborhood. Homeownership rates are approximately 60%, and the overall population of the neighborhood declined 6.3% between 1990 and 2000. The City provides code compliance enforcement and, along with Community Action and Habitat for Humanity, supports housing rehabilitation activities within the Wilson/Coburn/Roosevelt Neighborhood. Gracious Homes, a 2009- 10 CDBG-funded agency, is located in this neighborhood. One challenge faced by the City and other service providers is the lack of a common gathering place within the neighborhood. There is no neighborhood center, and churches in the area are not heavily attended by residents from the Wilson/Coburn/Roosevelt Neighborhood. Post/Franklin Neighborhood. This lower-income neighborhood is one of the oldest residential areas in Battle Creek. As of the 2000 Census, 23% of the residents are Black or African-American. The Census also indicates that 46% of the housing units in this area are non owner-occupied, giving this neighborhood the lowest level of homeownership in Battle Creek. The Post/Franklin Neighborhood also has the highest Hispanic population in the City, with 8.43% of the residents of Hispanic or Latino origin. Neighborhoods Inc. has completed a number of housing rehabilitation projects within the Post/Franklin Neighborhood; projects undertaken by the City, Community Action, and Habitat for Humanity have also been successful in rehabilitating the housing base of the neighborhood. 5/7/10 Page 22
