Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Contingency Plan
In the case of funding increase, the following plan is recommended:
• Public Services: Distribute the additional available amount in the public services cap until an applicant is fully funded. If an applicant reaches the funding amount requested, any remaining funds will be distributed to other applicants who have not yet reached the maximum funding amount.
• Administration: Funds are to be allocated to the City of San Leandro for CDBG administration. Allocations from any local sources will be reduced accordingly. • Capital and Housing Projects: Distribute the additional available amount in the capital/housing projects cap until an applicant is fully funded. If an applicant reaches the funding amount requested, any remaining funds will be distributed to other applicants who have not yet reached the maximum funding amount.
In the case of a funding decrease, the following plan is recommended:
• Public Services: Distribute any funding decrease proportionately among the remaining public service applicants, maintaining a minimum funding allocation of $15,000 per fiscal year for any applicant to the extent feasible. • Administration and Planning: Distribute any funding decrease proportionately among administration and planning projects.
• Capital and Housing Projects: Maintain the full funding allocations for any Section 108 loan repayments and distribute any funding decrease proportionately among the remaining capital and housing project applications.
