EXISTING & PROPOSED ENTITIES SUMMARY
There are a number of existing entities with overlapping boundaries and different authorities There is no distinction between commercial development entities and neighborhood development entities. There is no neighborhood development entity for Skinker DeBaliviere with the authority to raise revenue. The Delmar commercial corridor is treated differently than the DeBaliviere commercial corridor. Due to changing City policies, it is possible that the SDCC may not be eligible for CDBG funds in the future (~1/3 of annual budget).

IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING Why is this important? 1. The projects, improvements, and programming in the Skinker DeBaliviere plan have associated public and private costs. 2. Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council may lose some or all of its CDBG funding in the future, reducing funds for existing programs.

Grant Funding
Neighborhood entities can apply for grant funding from various sources Grants are typically for a fixed dollar amount, allocated to a specific project or program, to be completed in a specified timeframe Grants do not provide ongoing streams of revenue, and grant availability can vary over time
4.
Voluntary Donations
Donation or membership fee-based neighborhood association or friends group Funding can used for projects and programming Funding streams are ongoing, but can vary with membership levels
SKINKERDeBALIVIERECOMMUNITY
IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING
1. Place commercial development of Delmar Boulevard and DeBaliviere Avenue under a unified governance and funding entity (such as the proposed East Loop CID). 2. Establish a funding entity for the residential portions of the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood. 3. Reduce jurisdictional overlaps and establish coterminous boundaries between adjacent funding entities where possible. 4. Ensure that revenues raised by residents are spent only in the neighborhood, and revenues raised by the commercial corridor are spent only in the commercial corridor. 5. Utilize the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council as the overall implementation management entity for the Plan. 6. Maximize the development experience and assets of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Housing Corporation.
