The meeting was held to discuss a bill BLM South Bend developed to create a LaSalle Park Affordable Housing Fund in the city. Questions during the meeting led to conversation on establishing a dedicated fund for the neighborhood as well as providing rental and homeownership assistance, home remediation and addressing potential lead contamination.
