Details:
CDBG-funded public service activities are typically categorized under the low-to-moderate income (LMI) Benefit National Objective as either Area Benefit or Limited Clientele activities.
The distinguishing factor between the two categories is whether the service will be offered to all residents of a particular LMI income area or to a particular group of LMI residents in the entire community.
The Limited Clientele category is the most used for city-wide services.
- Area Benefit criteria- the public service must be offered to all residents of an area where at least 51 percent of the residents are LMI. The area must be clearly delineated by the State and must be primarily residential.
- To document qualification of public service activities under this objective:
- Maintain records of the boundaries of the service area;
- Document that the area is primarily residential (e.g., zoning map); and
- Document the income characteristics of households in the service area (i.e., Census data/American Community Survey data).
- Limited Clientele activities- benefit a specific targeted group of persons of which at least 51 percent must be LMI. In order to meet the LMI Limited Clientele criteria, the activity must:
- Serve at least 51 percent LMI, as evidenced by documentation and data concerning beneficiary family size and income;
- Have income-eligibility requirements which limit the service to persons meeting the LMI income requirement, as evidenced by the administering agency’s procedures, intake/application forms, income limits, and other sources of documentation;
- Serve a group primarily presumed to be LMI such as abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, severely disabled adults, homeless persons, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS and migrant farm workers; or
- Be of such a nature and in a location that it may be concluded that the activity’s clientele are LMI.
These grants fund programs and services in the following areas:
- Education
- assistance to low-to-moderate income (LMI) children in order to improve academic performance.
