The CDBG Policies Plan indicates that neighborhood plans should be completed for all three CDBG Neighborhood Strategy Areas. 66,000 Downtown Housing Rehabilitation With the recent redevelopment efforts in the downtown and the concerns expressed to the City Council during the allocation of CDBG funds in June, there obviously is a need to supply low and moderate income housing in the downtown area, particularly of emergency shelter and single room occupancy. The CDBG Policies Plan indicates a high priority for housing and housing rehabilitation projects. 20,000 Contingency Funds Funds presently allocated for contingency in the FY 1986-87 CDBG Program are highly dependent on anticipated program income. Staff feels additional funds are warranted for the contingency line item. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- $116,000 Total and presented this recommendation to the Community Development Block Grant Citizens Steering Committee; and WHEREAS, the Steering Committee approved the recommendation; and WHEREAS, it is necessary that the City Council formally approve the recommended expenditure for the additional CDBG Entitlement Grant Funds.
