ANNUAL REPORT: 2010
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Commission held four regular meetings
which included two public hearings, and six special Competitive Process-related meetings during
2010. There were no work sessions with the City Council. The public hearings were held to
solicit comments on the community development and affordable housing needs of the city.
These comments were used to guide decisions concerning the allocation of CDBG, HOME, the
City’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and Human Services Program (HSP) monies during the
next program year. The regular and special meetings were held to review the Spring and Fall
Competitive Process applications for community development and affordable housing proposals,
and to monitor progress of the CDBG and HOME Programs, as well as the use of AHF and HSP
dollars.
The Commission provided recommendations to City Council concerning the expenditure of the
City’s FY 2010 CDBG grant and the FY 2010 HOME grant, as well as the City’s AHF and HSP
monies. All grant funding as well as Program Income and miscellaneous carryover revenues are
included in the funding amounts listed below.
