OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this program is the develop ment of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportuni ties, principally for persons of low and moderate income. TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: Formula Grants. USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: States develop their own pro grams and funding priorities. Each State may elect to administer Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for areas which do not receive CDBG entitlement grants (14.218). If, after a State decides to administer the CDBG program, it decides not to, the funds that would have been allocated to the State will be reallocated among the other States. In States which elect to administer the nonentitlement funds, HUD awards the formula grants to the States under the CDBG/State's Program. In States which do not elect to administer the nonentitlement funds, HUD awards competitive grants to units of general local government under the CDBG/Small Cities Program (14.219). Each State may use up to $100,000 plus two percent of its grant to administer the program and must match each Federal dollar in excess of $100,000 used for administration with a dollar of its own. Units of general local government funded by the State may undertake a wide range of activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, or provision of improved community facilities and services. Specific activities that can be carried out with block grant funds include acquisition of real property, relocation and demolition, rehabilitation of residential and nonresidential structures, direct assistance to facilitate and expand homeownership among persons of low and moderate income, and provision of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, and neighborhood centers. In addition, block grant funds may be used to pay for certain public services within certain limits. Neighborhood-based nonprofit organizations, local development corporations or Small Business Investment Companies may act as subgrantees to carry out neighborhood revitalization or community economic development projects in furtherance of block grant objectives. Recipients may provide assistance to forprofit entities when the recipient determines that the provision of such assistance is appropriate to carry out an economic development project. The projected use of funds must be developed to give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low and moderate income persons or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight and the projected use of funds may also include activities which the applicant certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. The aggregate use of funds over a period specified by the State, but not exceeding three years, must ensure that not less than 70 percent of the funds re ceived benefit low and moderate income persons. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Applicant Eligibility: State governments. States must distribute the funds to units of general local government in nonentitlement areas. Beneficiary Eligibility: The principal beneficiaries of CDBG funds are low and moderate income persons. For metropolitan areas, low and moderate income is generally defined as a member of a family having an income equal to or less than the Section 8 low income limit established by HUD. For non-metropolitan areas, low and moderate income is generally defined as 80 percent of the median income for non-metropolita areas of the state, as adjusted by family size. Credentials/Documentation: The State must certify that with respect to nonentitlement areas the State will: (1) engage in planning for community development activities, (2) provide technical assistance, (3) consult with local officials from nonentitlement areas in determining method for distributing funds and (4) each unit of general local government to receive funds must identify its housing and community development needs, the needs of low and moderate income persons, and the activities to be undertaken to meet such needs. The State must submit a final statement which consists of its community development objectives and its method of distributing CDBG funds. The State must also certify that (1) it has met the statutory citizen participation requirements, (2) it will conduct its grant in conformance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act, (3) all activities will meet one of the three national objectives described under "OBJECTIVES", and (4) it will comply with the other provisions of Title I and all applicable laws. This program is covered under OMB Circular No. A-87 or comparable cost principles established by the States. APPLICATION AND AWARD PROCESS: Preapplication Coordination: None. This program is excluded from coverage under Part 85 and E.O. 12372. Application Procedure: Submit a Notice of Election, Final Statement and Certifications to HUD. The Final Statement must contain the State's community development objectives and the method by which the State will distribute funds. Award Procedure: HUD will provide funds after the State submits its Final Statement and Certifications. Deadlines: Final Statement must be submitted by March 31st during the fiscal year in which the State will administer funds. Range of Approval/Disapproval Time: HUD does not review for ap proval or disapproval, only for acceptability. Appeals: The procedure is described in regulations (24 CFR Part 570 Subpart I). Renewals: Not applicable. ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Formula and Matching Requirements: (1) Allocations to States are based on a dual formula under Section 106 of the Act (24 CFR 570, Subpart B) using statistical factors. Allocations for each State based on an amount equaling the greater of the amounts calculated under two formulas. The factors involved in the first formula are population, extent of poverty and extent of overcrowding, weight ed 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25, respectively. The factors involved in the second formula are population, poverty, and age of housing, weighted 0.20, 0.30, and 0.50, respectively. The statistical factors used for fund allocation are (1) total resident population for all places in the nation from the 1990 Census; (2) number of persons with incomes below the poverty level from the source 1980 Census; (3) number of housing units with 1.01 or more persons per room from the source 1980 Census; (4) age of housing; number of year-round housing units built in 1939 or earlier from the source 1980 Census.

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the Housing and Community De velopment Act of 1992. OBJECTIVES: The program is designed to help improve the quality of existing emergency shelters for the homeless, to make available additional emergency shelters, to meet the costs of operating emergency shelters and of providing essential social services to homeless individuals, and to help prevent homelessness. TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: Formula Grants. USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: Grant amounts may be used for one or more of the following activities relating to emergency shelter for the homeless: (1) renovation, major rehabilitation, or conversion of buildings for use as emergency shelters for the homeless; (2) provision of essential services to the homeless; (not more than 30 percent of the grant amount may be used for these services); (3) payment of maintenance, operation, up to 10 percent for staffing costs, rent, repair, security, fuel, equipment, insurance, utilities, and furnishings; and (4) homeless prevention activities (not more than 30 percent of the grant amount may be used for homeless prevention activities). The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act established that five percent of the grantees' allocation could be used to meet costs of administering the grant. In the case of State grantees, that amount for administration must be shared with local governments funded by the State. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Applicant Eligibility: States, formula cities and counties, and territo ries. Units of general local government and nonprofits may also apply for ESG funds directly from States. The Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act established a separate set-aside of one percent of the total ESG appropriation for tribes and Alaskan Native Villages. Apart from the five percent to meet the costs of administering the grant, State grantees must distribute ESG funds to units of general local government or nonprofit organizations for ESG activities. Apart from the five percent that can be used to meet the costs of administering the grant, units of general local government receiving formula allocations may distribute all or part of their grant amounts to nonprofit recipients to be used for ESG activities. Beneficiary Eligibility: Homeless families and individuals. Credentials/Documentation: States, formula cities and counties, and territories that elect to participate in the program must submit (1) a Standard Form 424; (2) a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy and (3) certifications that each grantee will (a) supplement the assistance provided under the program with an equal amount of funds from other sources except under the provisions for the $100,000 exemption for State grantees (b) ensure that any building for which assistance is provided will continue to be used as a homeless shelter for specified periods (c) ensure that assisted rehabilitation is sufficient to make the structure safe and sanitary (d) provide for a procedure to ensure the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence, and assist homeless individuals in obtaining appropriate supportive services and other available assistance and (e) meet other generally applicable requirements, such as nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. Costs will be determined in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-87 for State and local governments. In the case of State grantees, the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act exempts State grantees from matching the first $100,000 of their award, but States must certify that they will provide the benefits of that exemption to local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other organizations to which they make subrecipient awards. APPLICATION AND AWARD PROCESS: Preapplication Coordination: This program is eligible for coverage under E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs.” An applicant should consult the office or official designated as the single point of contact in his or her state for more information on the process the State requires to be followed in applying for assistance, if the State has selected the program for review.

Application Procedure: To be eligible, each grantee must have a HUD-approved Comprehensive Housing Assistance Strategy, which must be submitted by October 31, 1991, updated annually, and completely submitted generally every five years unless there are significant changes. Each grantee electing to participate will submit application materials and appropriate certifications as speci fied by HUD. Award Procedure: The responsible HUD Field Office reviews appli cations from grantees and, if approved, executes grant agreements. Deadlines: States, formula cities and counties, and territories must submit applications to the responsible HUD field office no later than 45 days after they are notified of their grant allocations. Range of Approval/Disapproval Time: The application is generally approved in ten working days or deemed approved by the respon sible HUD Field Office 30 days after receipt. Appeals: None. Renewals: Annually by formula. ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Formula and Matching Requirements: After one percent of the ESG appropriation is set aside for tribes, the amount of each grant for formula grantees is determined by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula which uses several objective measures of community need, including poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and growth lag. Allocations to the territories are also based on the CDBG program. If, according to the formula, a city or county receives less than .05 percent of each appropriation in any fiscal year, the city or county does not receive the funds. Instead, the amount is added to the allocation for the State in which the city or county is located. A State must allocate to its units of general local government or to nonprofit organizations the entire grant amount that it is awarded except for the five percent that can be used to administer the grant and must be shared with local governments funded by the State. Length and Time Phasing of Assistance: Grant awards are expected to be made within ten working days of receipt of application. Except for the five percent used for costs of administering the grant, which it must share with local governments funded by the State, the State must make available to its State recipients all grant amounts that it was allocated within 65 days of the date of the grant award by HUD. Each State recipient must have all of its grant amounts obligated by 180 days from the date on which the State made the grant amounts available to it and spent within 24 months of this date. Each formula city, county, and territory must have all grant amounts that it was allocated obligated by 180 days from the date of grant award by HUD and spent within 24 months of this date. POST ASSISTANCE REQUIREMENTS: Reports: Interim performance reports and annual performance re ports regarding the obligation of funds for each of the four categories of eligible activities described under "USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS”.
