Charlotte was one of the first cities in the
nation to be designated a Model City by the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and has served as a MODEL leader
for many other cities throughout the United
States by implementing immediate, high visibility projects designed to combat the major
problems cited by Model Neighborhood residents.
Much of the money to support the Program
is provided by the Federal Government, although as a coordinated effort, the Program
also involves state, local, public and private
agencies.
The city was one of the first 63 in the nation to receive a Planning Grant in 1967 for
$177,500 from the Department of Housing &
Urban Development. Charlotte's First Action
Year Plan was also one of the first in the nation to win approval, in May of 1969 and
received $3,167,300.
The Model Neighborhood Commission, the
chief policy-making body of Model Cities, includes Six Model Neighborhood residents. Residents are also involved in planning for their
own needs through Task Forces, which are coordinating attacks on problems in the areas of
Health, Education, Culture & Recreation, Manpower, Social Services, and Housing & Physical
Planning. A Residents' Council made up of
representatives from every club or organization within the Model Neighborhood meets
monthly to review and discuss Model Cities programs, and enables residents to act, rather
than be acted upon — to develop as more
self-sufficient citizens.
