Purpose of CDBG Funds The Community Development Block Grant program is a

federal program that began operation in 1975. It is formally known as "Title 1" of The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. CDBG is run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Congress's primary objective for CDBG has always been, and still is, to improve communities by providing:

◦ decent housing,

◦ suitable living environments, and

◦ expanding economic opportunities,

principally for persons of low and moderate incomes.

Process for CDBG Funding The City of Holland identifies community needs and

eligible activities to address those needs. This meeting is one step in this process. Eligible activities must benefit low to moderate income people or eliminate slum and blight.

The City then budgets CDBG funds to support those activities and submits a plan to HUD by May 15th identifying the activities and the funding amounts. The public gets to comment on this plan in April.

HUD approves the plan and the activities. As part of the plan, the City agrees to several HUD policies, ranging from non-discrimination rules to prevailing wage rules.

The City then spends the following year overseeing the activities and reporting back to HUD how it is meeting its goals and abiding by all of HUD’s rules and regulations.

Limitations on CDBG Funds No more than 15% of the CDBG Funds can be spent on

Public Services Activities (Social Services).

No more than 20% of the CDBG Funds can be spent on Planning and Administration Activities.

There is no cap to the amount of CDBG Funds that can be spent on Brick and Mortar and other types of assistance, i.e. direct homeownership.

All construction projects must pay prevailing wages to the construction workers.

No recipient of funds can discriminate on any basis.

The City must affirmatively further Fair Housing, etc.
