2008 Action Plan
Available Resources


91.220(c)(1)
The consolidated plan must provide a concise summary of the federal resources (including grant funds and program income) expected to be made available. Federal resources should include Section 8 funds made available to jurisdictions, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and competitive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds, expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the strategic plan.

 

Community Development Block Grant  
  Entitlement Allocation $879,905
  Program Income 92,000
  Prior Year Funds 468,500
  Section 108 2,000,000
HOME Investment Partnership Act  
  Entitlement Allocation $489,759
  Program Income 7,000
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction 955,000
Total Funds for Housing and Community Development $4,892,164

The city also anticipates that approximately $10 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits, $8 to $9 million in Section 8 resources, and $766,163 in McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds will be available to address needs and objectives identified in the Action Plan. (These are not resources that the city receives or controls.)

91.220(c)(2)
Other resources. The consolidated plan must indicate resources from private and state and local sources that are reasonably expected to be made available to address the needs identified in the plan. The plan must explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources, including a description of how matching requirements of the HUD programs will be satisfied. Where the jurisdiction deems it appropriate, the jurisdiction may indicate publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan . . .

Overall, the city expects to leverage $54 million in state, local, private and other federal resources for its CDBG- and HOME-funded activities. Each funded activity identifies the budgeted amount of leveraged funding for that program or project in Table 3C.

The city will meet or exceed the requirement that “contributions must total not less than 25% of funds drawn from the jurisdiction’s HOME Investment Trust Fund Treasury account in that fiscal year,” excluding funds drawn for administrative and planning costs pursuant to 24 CFR 92.207. Sources of matching funds include, but are not limited to, Vermont Housing and Conservation Trust Fund, Burlington Housing Trust Fund, waiver of impact fees, and private debt financing secured by property owners and nonprofit organizations.

91.220(l)(iv)
The plan shall identify the estimated amount of CDBG funds that will be used for activities that benefit persons of low- and moderate-income.

The city anticipates that 100% of its CDBG resources this year will be spent to benefit low- and moderate-income residents.
