FROM: Ray L. Janes, Management Analyst II
SUBJECT: 23rd-YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) PUBLIC HEARING
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council consider the requests for use of our 23rd-Year Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds and direct staff to work with applicants to develop eligible
projects.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this public hearing is to accept requests from outside agencies for CDBG
funding from our 23rd-Year entitlement of approximately $229,309. Staff will make a
recommendation for use of funds at a future City Council meeting for approval, and will
then submit an application to the Riverside County Economic Development Agency. Staff
will accept applications from interested organizations until Thursday, January 2, 1997.
The goal of the Community Development Block Grant Program is to develop decent
housing, a suitable living environment, and increase economic opportunities by supporting
activities that benefit low/moderate income individuals. Eligible activities include housing
and public facilities rehabilitation, aid to organizations that assist battered spouses, the
homeless, physically challenged individuals, and senior citizens. Activities funded in
previous years have included a child care training program, construction of the COD Child
Development Center, a food pantry for low income individuals with AIDS, rehabilitation of a
medical center serving low income individuals, installation of sidewalk ramps for the
physically challenged, and counseling for at-risk youths.
