He said <br /> 37 "St. Anthony doesn' t have any poverty stricken seniors" . <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Mr. Childs stated the City hasn' t been able to use up its housing <br /> 40 rehabilitation allocations from past years and he also said it is <br /> 41 very difficult to get kids in St. Anthony to work in the senior <br /> 42 chore programs. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 HERO Small Business Incubator/Accellerator Activity Not Included in <br /> 45 City' s Allocation <br /> 46 <br /> 47 In his March 12th memorandum on the CDBG allocation, Mr. Childs had <br /> 48 advised against the City participating in this project because its <br /> 49 benefits for St. Anthony would be minimal because of the distances <br /> 50 lower income residents would have .to travel to work in the program. <br /> 51 He said he would anticipate there might be a similar program stated <br /> • 52 in the Roseville area which might be more feasible for City <br /> 53 participation. <br /> 54 <br /> 55 <br />
