Also, some funding is available according to individual benefit rather than area benefit. It is, therefore, difficult to provide reasonable projections of the distribution of funds by a target area. The numbers below are strictly estimates based on experience. Geographic Distribution ~~ Target Area Percentage of Funds CDBG Eligible Block Groups 100 Table 8-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The proposed allocation of funds is based on federal funding requirements for each formula-allocated grant. Areas of low to moderate-income concentration and certain areas of high minority concentration are targeted. Areas of low homeownership and deteriorating housing conditions were also considered in the targeting process. Discussion The distribution of funds by target area is projected to be primarily citywide due to use of funds for administrative, non-profit support, and individual benefit-oriented programmatic uses of the funds. The Annual Action Plan 49 2021 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) remaining funds are estimated to be spread through smaller CDBG-eligible areas. 1,..'r, pA „,,, r414: E 4; ',/re,:•-, 7;::::,,,;:, , .,,,,.• • Annual Action Plan 50 2021 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g) Introduction The City's priority&objective is to continue to help provide affordable, decent &safe homes for eligible citizens and those that were impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and those living in substandard housing conditions.
