Hi,
Regarding the Mayor’s question about CDBG funding in Castle Rock, here is some information Beth Rosen
provided:
Here’s a news article about Castle Rock. This is what I was able to glean:
1. Non-profits in Castle Rock historically received CDBG grants through Douglas County
2. Castle Rock’s population increased, making it eligible to receive $212,000 in funds directly from HUD (become an
entitlement)
a. Receiving the funds directly would make Castle Rock responsible for its own administration of the funds
b. Douglas County previously had the admin burden of the funds
c. CDBG regulations would have allowed Castle Rock to retain 20% of the $212,000 ($42,400) to cove
admin costs
3. Castle Rock decided they had enough general fund money they didn’t want to deal with the extra burden of
being a direct recipient of HUD funds
4. Douglas County will now receive $212,000 less than it used to, and cannot serve Castle Rock – as Castle Rock can
receive the funds directly
Bottom line – there wasn’t a change in CDBG, Castle Rock’s eligibility status changed and they decided not to
participate. We are also an Entitlement, receiving nearly $1,000,000 annually.
