Dear Chairman Nyquist:
On behalf of the Brooklyn Center Housing Commission, we are recommending that
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority again levy their authorized 1/3 mill.
At our September 13, 1983, Housing Commission meeting, a motion of support
for the levy was unanimously passed.
The HRA has become an active governmental unit responsible for the development
of the elderly housing project. With the aging'of our housing stock and the
eventual need for economic redevelopment in Brooklyn Center, it is our opinion
. that the HRA should again develop a fund for such future activities.
Sinc ely, &1/

BACKGROUND DATA
NORTH HENNEPIN SENIOR CHORUS
BACKGROUND
The senior citizen chorus is a 28 member group that started in
1972 under a federal grant provided North Hennepin Community College.
The purpose of the group is to develop musical ability and share this
ability by performing for others. The average age of the group is
71 years. They reside in various communities from Loretto to Anoka.
During the 11 years since the formation of the group they have
f
sung before more than 11,000 people in over 200 singouts. In 1979,
t + they traveled over 2,100 miles.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The chorus has scheduled rehearsals and approximately 18 singouts
each year. The singouts are held in such places as nursing homes,
hospitals, congregate dining f aci I ities,' mental halfway houses, senior
high rises, etc. The length of the performance normally is 45 minutes
to one hour.
FINANCIAL
The program was funded by grants obtained by North Hennepin
Community College from 1972 until 1979. From 1919 until the fall of
1981, the college provided funds for the program. With financial cut-
backs at the college, the chorus was forced to seek other alternative

resources. During the school years 1981 -82 and 1982-83, funding has
been obtained from community education of school districts, one _
Park and Recreation Department, and several service clubs. The
college.has provided a van and served as fiscal agent. A breakdown of
the budget proposed for 1983 -84 (July 1, 1983 to June 30, 1984) is

helpful for the longevity of the program if an amount could be budgeted
