The community development block grant (cdbg)… (B25MC250015) – Formula Grant to City Of Lynn Department Of…

Activities: Cdbg funds may be used for activities which include, but are not limited to: acquisition of real property; relocation and demolition; rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures; construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of school buildings for eligible purposes; public services, within certain limits; activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources; provision of assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out economic development and job creation/retention activities. Each activity must meet one of the following national objectives for the program: benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or address community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available. Generally, the following types of activities are ineligible: acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of government; political activities; certain income payments; construction of new housing (with some exceptions). Under the state cdbg program, states may use $100,000 plus up to a maximum of three percent of its cdbg allocation. Amounts expended on administration in excess of $100,000 must be matched. States may expend up to three percent of their cdbg allocation on technical assistance activities. However, the total a state spends on both administrative and technical assistance expenses may not exceed $100,000 plus three percent of the state's allocation. CPD has developed profiles that display grantee-reported accomplishments for selected housing, economic development, public improvement, and public service activities. Profiles for grantees will vary, as grantees have flexibility in determining the housing, economic, and community development activities they carry out with cdbg funds. The most recent accomplishments can be viewed within the national accomplishment reports located at: https://WWW.hudexchange.info/programs/cdbg/cdbg-accomplishment-reports/
Expected outcomes: The cdbg program reinforces several important values and principles of community development: program flexibility to empower people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities; an emphasis on consolidated planning that expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in enhancing community development; technical assistance activities and set-aside for grantees to build the capacity of these partners. Each cdbg grantee's expected outcomes are described as goals in their consolidated plan. The most recent consolidated plans can be viewed at: https://WWW.hudexchange.info/grantees/reports/#consolidated-plans-annual-action-plans-and-capers
Intended beneficiaries: Over a 1, 2, or 3-year period, as selected by the grantee, not less than 70 percent of cdbg funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HUD does not provide cdbg assistance directly to individuals, businesses, nonprofit or organizations or other non-governmental entities. Individuals who are interested in participating in this program, should contact their local municipal or county officials to find out how the program operates in their community. Participation requirements may differ from one grantee to another. With the exception of the state cdbg program, the local government grantee administers the cdbg program and determines which local projects receive funding. Eligible grantees are as follows: principal cities of metropolitan statistical areas (msas); other metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000; qualified urban counties with populations of at least 200,000 (excluding the population of entitled cities); states and insular areas. The district of columbia is funded under the cdbg entitlement program. The state of hawaii does not participate, and HUD allocates the state's share of funds to the three hawaii non-entitled counties. The states administer cdbg funds in the state cdbg program. Since states are in the best position to know, and to respond to, the needs of local governments, congress amended the housing and community development act of 1974 (HCD act) in 1981 to give each state the opportunity to administer cdbg funds for non-entitlement areas.
Subrecipient activities: The subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of award.
