Objectives
Funds available for CDBG projects are received annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are to be used for activities that meet the goal of HUD’s Community Development Block Grant Program. This goal is to develop viable communities that include decent housing, suitable living environments, and expansion of economic opportunities principally for low and/or moderate-income persons. Consistent with this goal, HUD supports activities that meet one of the three following National:
Objectives of the Community Development Block Grant Program:
- National Objective #1
- Activities benefiting low and moderate-income persons/households.
- The definition of a low- and moderate-income person or household is one having an income equal to or less than the Section 8 income limits established by HUD. A minimum of 70% of the City’s total allocation must be used for this purpose. In order to determine if a project qualifies under this criteria, it must fall under one of the following two activities:
- National Objective #2
- Activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
- Projects may qualify if benefiting a slum or blighted area as defined under state or local law and containing a sub-standard number of deteriorating or dilapidated buildings or infrastructure within the area. Redevelopment project areas qualify under this category.
- In order to be eligible, the activity must be designed to address one or more of the conditions which qualified the area as slum and blighted. Residential rehabilitation qualifies if the property is considered substandard per local definition.
- Projects which may qualify outside a slum or blighted area include acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation, relocation, and historic preservation. Under this standard, rehabilitation is limited to the extent necessary to eliminate substandard conditions detrimental to public health and safety.
- National Objective #3
- Activities designed to meet community development needs having a particular urgency.
- Activities must be designed to alleviate existing conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and which became urgent within the past 18 months. Other sources of funding must be available.
