Resolution No. 19
Authorizing the 1999 Comprehensive Improvement
Assistance Program Grant Application Adopted
The following is staff s memorandum on this item.
"Financial Impact
This Resolution authorizes the Housing Authority to apply for funding from HUD in the amount of
$299, 012 to fund current and future capital improvements for the Authority's public housing stock
Annual budgets for the future will have to be developed to manage this fund.
Executive Summary
Originally, grants under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD)
Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CLAP) were awarded on a competitive basis.
Several years ago, however, larger housing authorities (over 250 units) were placed in a new HUD
Capital Fund Program (CFP). CFP provided funding annually on a non-competitive basis using
the number of housing units as the basis to determine the amount of the grant.
HUD recently decided to eliminate CIAP and replaced it with CFP. Nonetheless, HUD will provide
this year a one-time distribution of CIAP funds based on units and total bedrooms. The allocation
for the Fort Collins Housing Authority will be $299, 012 ($1,941.63 per unit). To be eligible for
these funds, the Board must adopt this Resolution. HUD will be developing a formula for the award
of grants under CFP for the upcoming Federal fiscal year 2000. "
