Through this program, HUD provides a formula entitlement grant to the City to fund projects which aid in the development of viable urban communities, and which meet one of two broad national objectives. These objectives are:
- To benefit low and moderate-income persons; or
- To aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and blighted areas.
National Objectives
- To benefit low and moderate-income persons where at least 60% of persons served by a community center, or benefiting from neighborhood revitalization activities are low and moderate-income persons.
- To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight relative to buildings, and only to the extent necessary to eliminate severe and specific conditions detrimental to public health and safety, i.e. elimination of faulty wiring, roofing, falling plaster or other similar conditions which are detrimental to all potential occupants.
- Demonstrated Need:
- The project application must identify and describe the substandard condition(s) of the subject facility. If the project is for expansion, then the application must describe the need for expansion and/or improvement to the existing or proposed facility to increase service levels, i.e. what programs will benefit from the project.
