The activities that will best serve the objectives of 1he proaram will be determined by the local aov - emm ent. Fuods, which are appropriated annually by the Conaress for this proaram, are allOCIIICd by statu · tory formula to each Cftlillement area. Arapahoe County is an appnMd entitlement area . The grant funds are disiributed on a formula basis to particip•in& cities within Arapahoe County . In order to receive funds from the 1997 Arapahoe County CDBG Program, the local governme nt must submit an application. Since the pro&nll"' is nonoompetitive, the County will evalUIIIC the applications based on compliance with the Natk,n.ll Objectives. The J.gg( frl2wm ~ For fiscal year 1997 , a multi-project CDBG application is beina proposed . Funds are being re- quested to suppon the City's continuing Housing Rehabilitation Pr:>ject and the Broadway Corridor Project and also to provide fund s for the Family Self Sufficiency Program sponsored by the Engle- wood Housing Authority with the following estimated an . ·•: I) $150 ,000 to rehabilitate 15 low-income housina units scattered throu&hout the City ; 2) $50 ,000 to demolish and rebuild I low-income housina unit in the Broadway Corri- dor Project area ; 3) $10 ,000 to suppon Family Self Sufficiency 4) $40 ,000 for direct monitoring and general administratio n. Funding will allow the oontinuatio n of the Housing Rehabilitation and Broadway Corridor Project s, and will assist with the funding for th e Family Self Sufficiency Program sponsored by the Engle- wood Housing Authority.
