ANNUAL REPORT: 2017
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Commission met a total of twelve
times during 2017. Seven were regular meetings and five were special Competitive
Process-related meetings. One funding cycle was conducted in the spring.
The Commission held four evening meetings during the spring cycle to listen to
presentations by housing and public service applicants and one evening meeting to make
funding recommendations to Council.
During the regular meetings the Commission discussed the four funding sources: federal
CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs, the City’s Affordable
Housing Fund (AHF) and Human Service Program (HSP). The Commission also examined
their role in monitoring grantees post-award and explored methods for awarding grants
when federal allocations had not yet been released. They also wrote a letter of gratitude
for the City Council’s increase to the HSP budget, received a gap analysis presentation
from a grantee, and discussed United Way’s evolving funding model. They also reviewed
the funding process and discussed the status of some grantees.
The Commission provided recommendations to City Council as to the allocation of the
City’s FY2017 CDBG and HOME entitlement grants, CDBG and HOME program income,
AHF, HSP and KFCG funds. Funding requests were greater than available dollars so not
all proposals submitted were funded.
