2003 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATIONS
01/16/03
Applications for the 2003 year have been received (copy attached). The applications total
$2,731,727. It is unclear as to the amount of our allocation this year. We have been
receiving an allocation of approximately $1.9 million each year. We had received an
estimate in November that, because of the funding changes that resulted fi.om the new
census, we could expect a reduction of approximately $200,000. Our regional HUD
representative suggests that we use last years numbers but be prepared to reduce our
funding if necessary. Any estimate at the current time is purely conjecture and the
appropriations bill containing funding for the CDBG program has passed Congress. I
would recommend that we begin our review of the applications with the assumption that
we will only receive $1.7 million. If we do this the maximum that could be allocated to
public service organizations would be $255,000.
We would be happy to schedule the public service applicants for a presentation to council
if you wish to follow the same procedure as followed the last several years.
