Available Funding
- The City expects to receive approximately $775,000 in CDBG funds for the fiscal year 2022-2023, although exact amounts will not be known for several months, once Congress appropriates funding for these grant programs.
- A maximum of twenty percent may be reserved for City fair housing activities, CDBG program administration, and other special City planning projects.
- In addition,the City Council may consider requests for discretionary grants from groups that do not qualify for CDBG funds. There is no budget line item for non-CDBG eligible projects and no guarantee that funds will be available.
Who is eligible for HOME funds?
The City has many options for implementing the HOME grant program.
- In Davis, housing and other community development activities are primarily administered through “non-profit” community groups.
- At least fifteen percent (15%) of the funds must be granted to a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). The CHDO must demonstrate capacity for each role (Owner, Developer or Sponsor) it intends to undertake.
- The Federal 2013 HOME Final Rule emphasizes that the CHDO must have paid key staff members who have housing experience appropriate to the role the CHDO undertakes.
- Thus, a CHDO in the role of developer must demonstrate development experience and a CHDO in the role of owner/manager must demonstrate ownership and management experience. If the CHDO lacks development experience or capacity it may be certified only as an Owner/Operator.
- Capacity is evaluated during the certification process as well as each time the CHDO applies for funding. The capacity requirement cannot be met through the use of volunteers or staff that is donated by organization, including the parent organization, if applicable. CHDO’s have specific board and by-law requirements.
