BACKGROUNDIREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
This is the eighteenth year of the Community Development Block
Grant Program which is intended to primarily benefit low and
moderate income persons in the Urban County. The 1992/93 program
recommended by the Housing and Community Development Advisory
Committee provides that all funds will be utilized to benefit low
and moderate income persons.
As you may be aware, the maximum amount of CDBG funds that can be
used for Public Service activities is 15% of the sum of our grant
amount plus program income. In each of the last three years the
County had to reduce allocations to Public Services to compensate
for exceeding the 15% limitation in the 1988/89 year. There is no
loss of funds to the County, just movement between categories.
This year's program reflects the final year's "payback" to HUD of
$27, 000. The maximum amounts of funds allocable to Public Service
projects have been recommended by the Committee.
The Committee conducted numerous meetings, including three public
hearings and five full meetings for presentations by proposal
sponsors. A total of 62 proposals requesting over $6 million were
received and. considered. The Committee developed its preliminary
program on December 11, 1991, and conducted a public hearing on its
preliminary recommendations on January 8, 1992 . Modifications were
made to the preliminary recommendations following consideration of
the testimony received at the Public Hearing and the final
recommendation was adopted by the, Committee for submittal to the
Board.
The final recommendation has been published as the Proposed
Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of
Funds for 1992 93. The Board of Supervisors hearing is on this
Statement after which the Board must approve the Final Statement
for transmittal to HUD prior to March 1, 1992 . The 1992/93 program
year will commence on April 1, 1992.
