It is formally known as "Title 1" of The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. CDBG is run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Congress's primary objective for CDBG has always been, and still is, to improve communities by providing: ◦ decent housing, ◦ suitable living environments, and ◦ expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate incomes. Process for CDBG Funding The City of Holland identifies community needs and eligible activities to address those needs. This meeting is one step in this process. Eligible activities must benefit low to moderate income people or eliminate slum and blight. The City then budgets CDBG funds to support those activities and submits a plan to HUD by May 15th identifying the activities and the funding amounts. The public gets to comment on this plan in April. HUD approves the plan and the activities. As part of the plan, the City agrees to several HUD policies, ranging from non-discrimination rules to prevailing wage rules. The City then spends the following year overseeing the activities and reporting back to HUD how it is meeting its goals and abiding by all of HUD’s rules and regulations. Limitations on CDBG Funds No more than 15% of the CDBG Funds can be spent on Public Services Activities (Social Services). No more than 20% of the CDBG Funds can be spent on Planning and Administration Activities. There is no cap to the amount of CDBG Funds that can be spent on Brick and Mortar and other types of assistance, i.e. direct homeownership. All construction projects must pay prevailing wages to the construction workers. No recipient of funds can discriminate on any basis. The City must affirmatively further Fair Housing, etc. Eligible Activities (the long list) Acquisition of Property Battered and Abused Spouses Rehabilitation Administration Disposition Employment Training Lead Based Paint/Hazards Test/Abatement Public Facility & Improvements Crime Awareness Code Enforcement Senior Centers Residential Historic Preservation Handicap Centers Fair Housing Activities-Subject to Public Services Cap Non-Residential Historic Preservation Homeless Facilities (no operating facilities) Tenant/Landlord Counseling Youth Centers Child Care Services Economic Development - Acquisition by City of Holland Neighborhood Facilities Health Services Parks, Recreations Facilities Abused and Neglected Children Services Commercial Industrial Infrastructure Development Mental Health Services Commercial Industrial Building Acquisition, Construction or Rehabilitation Screening for Lead Based Paint/Lead Hazards Other Commercial Industrial Improvements Subsistence Payments Economic Development Assistance to For-Profits Homeownership Assistance (not direct) Economic Development Technical Assistance Rental Housing Subsidies Micro-Enterprise Assistance Security Deposits Non Profit Capacity Building Housing Counseling Assistance Higher Education Institutions Neighborhood Cleanups Operation and Repair of Foreclosed Property Food Banks Planning - Enterprise Committees Interim Assistance General Program Administration Urban Renewal Completion Indirect Costs Relocation Public Information Rental Income Loss Private Owned Utilities Fair Housing Activity (Subject to Administration Cap) Construction of Housing Submissions or Applications for Federal Programs Homeownership Direct Programmed Funds Rehab; Single Unit Residential Tornado Shelters - Private Mobile Home Parks Rehab; Multi Unit Residential Public Housing Modernization Rehab; Other than Public-Owned Residential Buildings Rehab; Public/Private-Owned Commercial/Industrial Buildings Energy Efficiency Improvements Acquisition for Rehabilitation Parking Facilities Solid Waste Disposal Improvements Flood Drainage Improvements Water/Sewer Improvements Street Improvements Sidewalks Child Care Centers Tree Planting Fire Station/Equipment Health Facilities Abused and Neglected Children Facilities Asbestos Removal Facilities for AIDS Patients (no operating costs) Clearance, Demolition and Remediation Cleanup of contaminated sites Public Services Operating Costs Homeless/Aids Patients Senior Services Handicap Services Legal Services Youth Services Transportation Services Substance Abuse Services Eligible Activities (the short list) acquisition of real property; public services relocation and demolition; rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures; activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources; and provision of assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out economic development and job creation/retention activities. construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of school buildings for eligible purposes; Ineligible Activities (the short list) acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of government. political activities. certain income payments. construction of new housing by units of general local government.
