ANNUAL REPORT: 2014
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Commission held six regular
meetings which included one public hearing (January, funding-related), and seven
special Competitive Process-related meetings (five nights for funding applicant
presentations; two meetings for funding recommendation deliberations) during 2014.
The Commission had no corresponding work sessions with City Council. The public
hearing was 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 Investment Partnership (HOME), the City’s Affordable
Housing Fund (AHF), Human Services Program (HSP) and Keep Fort Collins Great
(KFCG) 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, HSP and KFCG dollars.
The Commission provided recommendations to City Council concerning the expenditure
of the City’s FY2014 CDBG and HOME entitlement grants, as well as the City’s AHF
and HSP monies. Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG) dollars, were used for human
services programs. Not all proposals submitted for the Spring cycle were funded,
especially in the Public/Human Services category, where the requests for funding
exceeded available funding. All revenue streams (CDBG, HOME, AHF, HSP, KFCG),
as well as Program Income (money returned to programs) and miscellaneous carryover
revenues, are included in the funding amounts listed below:
