COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Through the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City Council provides for the
development and preservation of a viable urban community, a suitable living environment, decent
housing and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of Iow and moderate
income, and aids in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight. The City carries out its
objectives by providing for appropriate streets and drainage, housing, recreational opportunities,
neighborhood preservation, and revitalization, and economic development as needed. To ensure
that these objectives are achieved, the following guidelines shall be as follows:
ao
No Community Development Block Grant Funds be authorized to applicant
agencies for the support of operating expenses.
No capital grants will be made without sufficient evidence of the financial capacity
of the applying agency to operate the program.
Priority will be given to those applying agencies that make substantial new capital
contributions to the project for which they are seeking funds.
Housing shall be maintained as the top priority for the CDBG program as well as
placing greater emphasis on public infrastructure (City) in CDBG eligible tracts.
No individually funded CDBG project will be eligible for future CDBG funding for a
minimum of two years from the date of its last funding. (This excludes projects
which are specifically staged for several years of CDBG funding such as a street
project which has its engineering funded one year and its construction the next.)
