BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTl'FIED
The Federal Community Development Block Grant (COBG) Program provides grants to units of local
government and urban counties to meet housing and commun.ity development needs. The objective of
the Program is achieved through projects developed by the Ice.al government which are designed to
give priority to those activities that benefit low and moderate-income families. Funds are allocated by
statutory formula to each entitlement area. Arapahoe County is an approved entitlement area. The
grant funds are distributed on a formula basis to participating cities within Arapahoe County.
For 1999 funds are approved to support the City of Englewood's continuing Housing Rehabilitation
Project and to provide funds for the Family Self Sufficiency Program sponsored by the Englewood
Housing Authority with the following amounts:
1. $194,887 to administer, monitor and rehabilitate 15 low-income u.1its scattered throughout the City;
2. $ 15,000 to support the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The existing employees in Neighborhood and Business Development are available to administer. the
projects and their salaries and benefits are part of the City's contribution toward funding the Housing
Rehabilitation Project. The City will utilize a portion of the COBG funding (e:'3t. $20,000) to partially
offset the costs of those salaries and benefits.
