The LaSalle Park Neighborhood Association are asking city leaders to do more to address housing, lead contamination and neighborhood concerns.

The groups made their demands at a community forum Tuesday, calling for a dedicated affordable housing fund to help people buy homes, make repairs and avoid being forced out of their neighborhoods.

They also want to know how much of South Bend’s $7 million federal grant for lead removal will go toward LaSalle Park.

The group is also calling for an independent study of the long-term health effects of contamination in the neighborhood.
