Our 2005 allocation represents a cut of
$50,000 from last year.
Applications are separated into the Public Service and Development categories
because federal law caps the amount of CDBG funding that can be spent on Public
Service projects at 15% of the City's total allocation. Applications are
further separated into subject categories for convenience; this separation is
somewhat subjective as some applications do not fit easily into a category
and/or span more than one category.
All applications are available for
public review at the Community & Economic Development Office. You can
also see a list of applications and awards for the
2006,
2007 and 2008 programs years online.
The CDBG Advisory Board
reviewed the applications and made the following recommendations. These
recommendations were accepted by the Mayor and by City Council.
