(revised 8/29/06)
The following items are included in the CDBG Commission's 2007 Work Plan:
1. Competitive Process: Program Development
The CDBG Commission will continue to work to improve the Competitive Process for
CDBG, HOME, and Affordable Housing, and now Human Services Program funds. The
process involves a review of the application selection process, the method for the
solicitation of proposals, establishment of criteria for making funding recommendations
and the final selection of applications and recommendation for funding to City Council.
The enhancement of the Process is an ongoing goal, and is usually made in direct
response to applicant feedback and regulatory changes.
2. CDBG FY 2006-2007: Program Development
CDBG Program Development involves the continuation of the federally funded grant
program for activities such as acquisition, public facilities, public services, affordable
housing, and planning. The process includes a review of the application selection
process, solicitation of proposals, criteria for funding, and funding recommendation.
3. HOME FY 2006-2007: Program Development
HOME Program Development involves the continuation of the federally funded grant
program for affordable housing and will include review of the application selection
process, solicitation of proposals, criteria for funding, and funding selection.
4. Human Services Program FY2007: Program Development
Human Services Program (HSP) Development includes the continuation of the locally
funded grant program (from the City's General Fund), highlighting human services needs
within the community. The process includes a review of the application selection
process, solicitation of proposals, criteria for funding, and funding selection. The
Commission may also review impacts to HSP funding in the face of municipal budgetary
challenges.
