Budget insiders' tip:
Prepare for pain
By MILTON JORDAN and JOCELYN DANIELS
Chronide Legislative Correspondents
More than three weeks into the 1990 fiscal year
North Carolina still operates without a new budget ?
To change that when they return here tomorrow,
state lawmakers must compromise on funding for abor
tions, and teacher liability insurance.
And when this longest legislative "short*1 session in
the state's history ends, lawmakers will have:
?Balanced the state's budget, but not solved North
Carolina's financial woes.
?Taken tentative steps in response to the state's
prison overcrowding problem, but not developed a com
prehensive solution.
?Financed efforts to help reduce the state's dismal
infant mortality rate. But the basic problems remain.
Legislators left here last Friday for a five-day
recess. Before leaving, they had made slow, but fairly
certain progress along the road to a balanced budget
For example, by the end of last week, legislators
agreed to cut educational funding, including the Basic
Education Plan. They authorized oversight committees

Home and Foreign Missionary

Low-interest
loans possible
for property rehab
By TRACY L PROSSER
Chronicle Staff Report
i , , i
Homeowners may be able to get low-interest, long
term loans from the city of Winston-Salem for rehabili
tation of their property.
The city's housing services office has determined
ten new target areas in which residents are eligible for
home-improvement loans from the city through the
Community Development Block Grant.
"We have chosen to place an emphasis on the con
servation of existing housing," said Don Dwiggins, the
city's housing services community service project super
visor. These ten new areas have been chosen because
they meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's criteria for a rehabilitation area, he said.
Most banks offer loans to homeowners, but only
over a three to five year period, Dwiggins said, but the
city is willing to offer loans that extend up to twenty
years in certain cases.
Dwiggins said the city will tailor a loan so that the
homeowner will be expected to make affordable pay
ments. Loans are given at an interest rate that varies
from zero to 13 percent, depending on the individual

circumstances.
Dwiggins said that after an application for a loan is |
made to a housing services loan officer, a construction
advisor from the city makes a technical assessment of
the property. All housing code violations are noted in f
the inspection report. To qualify for a loan, there must
be a code violation on the property, said Dwiggins.
The advisor figures a cost estimate based on what |
he has seen. Code violations and other improvements I
the homeowner wishes to make are addressed to&CThcr |
in the cost estimate, Dwiggins said, because jihe city i
wants to avoid having to make other repairs in the near \
future.
Dwiggins said two contractors from the city's
approved bidding list and two contractors solicited by i

sickle cell program

Chronide Legislative Correspondent
North Carolina's four Sickle Cell Syndrome
Community Centers appear to have avoided the bud
get axe this year, according to legislative sources.
House and Senate conferees have approved a
$2.4 million proposal that includes $150,000 for the
state's four sickle cell syndrome community centers.
Sen. Bill Martin (D-Guilford), introduced a bill
several weeks ago that included the sickle cell syn
drome programs with other health related proposals.
Additionally, a House resolution committee also
approved a resolution from Rep. Mickey Michaux
(D-Durham), not to cut any funds from the sickle cell
program.
But it's been a tough battle to prevent legislative
budget negotiators from hacking $100,000 from the
centers' SI. 6 million state appropriation.
The battle began when the Division of Maternal
and Child Health in the Department of Environmen
tal Health and Natural Resources proposed the
$100,000 budget reduction as part of its contribution
to a balanced state budget.
The N.C. Senate accepted the proposal, and cut
the money from the sickle cell centers in its version
of a balanced budgcL
