HUD regulations allow the City of Riverside to retain a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) balance of 1.5 times their most recent CDBG allocation. Any funds in excess of this threshold could be subject to recapture by HUD. This balance is made up of programmed funds which are to be used on current ongoing projects and unprogrammed funds, which are comprised of remaining unspent funds from numerous projects over several years. Most of the remaining amounts range in size between hundreds to thousands of dollars. These are generally small amounts that can be transferred to Unprogrammed Funds administratively. These remaining balances in the CDBG Unprogrammed Funds Account can be used to fund new capital improvement projects or supplement previously authorized Capital Improvement Projects.BACKGROUND 1 2
