BACKGROUND
The Federal CDBG PIVifam consists of the following objectives::
The Entitlement Program provides grants to units of local government and urbar
counties to meet housing and community development needs. The primary objective
of the Program is the development of viable urban communities by:
1) pro iding decent hour,ing and a suitable living environment; and
2) expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low-and
moderate-income.
The objective of the Program is achieved through a program developed by the local
government which is designed to give maximum priority to those activities which will
benefit low-and moderate-income families or which will .lid in the prever lion or
elimination of slum or blight. The request for funds may ulso include activities which
are designed to meet other urgent development needs in the community which pose a
serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of th.e community if other
financial reso urces are not available.
The activities that will best serve the objectives of the program will be determined by
the local government.
•
Funds, which are appropriated annually by the Congress for this program, 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.
In order to receive funds from the 1994 Arapahoe County CDBG Program, the local
government must submit an application. Since the program is noncompetitive, the
County will evaluate the applications based on compliance with the National
Objectives.
The Local Program Objectives:
For fiscal year 1994, a multi-project CDBG application is being pro posed . Funds are
being requested to support the City's continuing Housing Rehabilitation Project and to
provide funds for Family Self Suffici cy sponsored by the Englewood Housing
Au.thority with the following estimate amounts.
1)
2)
3)
$223,800 to rehabilitate 18 low-incm,,e housing units scattered throughout the
City;
S 10,000 to support Family Self Sufficiency;
S 15,987 for administration. •
