Agenda Item Text:
Present information and hold the second of two Public Hearings for Fiscal Year 2013 Community Development Block Grant Application (CDBG) process for Cochise County to receive public input and to identify community needs in Cochise County.
Background:
Cochise County is expected to receive approximately $170,000 in FY 2013 Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Arizona Department of Housing Regional Account. The entitlement funds originate through HUD and are distributed to the State with a partnership through SEAGO on a rotating basis every two years. In 2013, Cochise County, City of Bisbee, City of Sierra Vista, and the Town of Huachuca City are anticipated to receive funding. The County may also apply for the next or all future State Special Project (SSP) or Colonias funds should those become available. CDBG and SSP Funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight, or address urgent need. Samples of projects that can use CDBG funds include: Public Infrastructure, Community Facilities, Housing, Public Services, and Economic Development. Due to recent changes in HUD guidelines, it is suggested that one project be funded instead of splitting the funding between projects. Cochise County has a very successful track record of receiving funding and completing projects throughout our community through this grant cycle. This second hearing was originally scheduled for January 29, 2013 and was postponed in order to conduct a Work Session for the Board prior to the second Public Hearing to gather citizen input.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Staff to attend a mandatory CDBG meeting on March 6, 2013 sponsored by SEAGO and the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) to discuss proposed projects.
Bring the results of the two Public Hearings and Work Session to a Regular Board Meeting in March or April, 2013 to approve a project(s) and adopt a Resolution in order to complete the grant application due in May, 2013.
