91.220(d)
Activities to be undertaken. The action plan must provide a
description of the activities the jurisdiction will
undertake during the next year to address priority needs and
objectives. This description of activities shall estimate
the number and type of families that will benefit from the
proposed activities, the specific local objectives and
priority needs (identified in accordance with Sec. 91.215)
that will be addressed by the activities using formula grant
funds and program income the jurisdiction expects to receive
during the program year, proposed accomplishments, and a
target date for completion of the activity. This information
is to be presented in the form of a table prescribed by HUD.
The plan must also describe the reasons for the allocation
priorities and identify any obstacles to addressing
underserved needs.
91.220(l)(1)
(i) A jurisdiction must describe activities planned with
respect to all CDBG funds expected to be available during
the program year (including program income that will have
been received before the start of the next program year),
except that an amount generally not to exceed ten percent of
such total available CDBG funds may be excluded from the
funds for which eligible activities are described if it has
been identified for the contingency of cost overruns. (iv) .
. . . The information about activities shall be in
sufficient detail, including location, to allow citizens to
determine the degree to which they are affected.
91.220(i)
Homeless and other special needs activities. Activities it
plans to undertake during the next year to address emergency
shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
individuals and families (including subpopulations), to
prevent low-income individuals and families with children
(especially those with incomes below 30 percent of median)
from becoming homeless, to help homeless persons make the
transition to permanent housing and independent living,
specific action steps to end chronic homelessness, and to
address the special needs of persons who are not homeless
identified in accordance with Sec. 91.215(e). |
The activities that the city will undertake during
Program Year 2008 are described in the HUD-prescribed
Table 3C.
Table 3C includes the city’s CDBG and HOME resources as well as other
resources budgeted for these activities.
The location of each activity is identified, to the
extent it is known at this point. There are some programs that are
specifically designed to respond to requests for assistance as they
arise throughout the year, and whose location is therefore not known
in advance; those programs are described
later in at the Action Plan.
The priorities for allocation and
the obstacles to addressing underserved needs were identified in the
Consolidated Plan and have not changed.
The Summary of Annual Objectives and Table 3
identify activities that will address emergency shelter,
transitional housing, homeless prevention, housing placement,
supportive housing and independent living. The city will continue to
participate in the Chittenden County Continuum of Care, to support
its applications for HUD, Veterans Administration and SAMHSA funding
to address both chronic and non-chronic homelessness, and to provide
HOME funding for new transitional housing. The city will also
continue to participate in state-sponsored discussions about
redirecting Emergency and General Assistance to improve housing
retention and placement and in the housing discussions of the
Burlington Livable Communities Project, addressing the housing needs
of the city’s seniors
