Annual Action Plan Contingency Language for CDBG
Higher than expected
If the City receives more Entitlement
funding than expected, funds will be used
for the City Homeowner Rehabilitation
Program (i.e. NCIP) and/or the Minor
Repair Program. The City reserves the
option to provide more funding for public
services if the Public Service Cap allows
for another agency to be funded to at least
$30,000.
Lower than expected
If the City receives less Entitlement funding
than expected, the Public Services and
Administration Caps will be recalculated and
amounts adjusted. If the calculation results in
a Public Service Cap ofless than $180,000,
the City will need to reduce its number of
Public Services Agencies funded to come
under the cap. Further, the amount allocated
to the Minor Repair Program may need to be
reduced.
