MEETING OF MAY 5, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jeremy Pate, Dir, Development Services
FROM: Yolanda Fields, Dir. Community Resources
DATE: April 13, 2015
SUBJECT: 2015 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the attached 2015 Action Plan be approved and that the authority be given to the
Mayor to execute the 2015 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Agreement upon receipt.
BACKGROUND:
Fayetteville has been a CDBG Entitlement City since 1975. Funding is based on a formula allocation
process that takes into account such factors as population, percent of low/moderate income persons, and
number of housing units. This formula allocation process awards CDBG funding to the City of
Fayetteville. Each year, the Community Resources Division submits an Action Plan to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) outlining the proposed uses of CDBG funding. If
HUD approves the Action Plan, a CDBG Agreement for that year is received. This agreement must be
executed, returned to the HUD Field Office in little Rock, and then sent to HUD in Washington D.C. for
the release of funds.
DISCUSSION:
Grant amounts vary each year based upon the funding levels authorized by Congress through the annual
federal budget process. The award for 2015 is $574,209. The grant funding detail submitted to HUD in
the 2015 Action Plan is as follows:
Administration $ 72,900
Housing Rehabilitation $417,738
Redevelopment $ 54,400
Big Brothers Big Sisters $ 5,000
Transportation $ 21,500
NWA Free Health Center $ 2.671
$574,209
Approving the 2015 Action Plan and the Mayor's authority to execute the 2015 CDBG Agreement upon
receipt will reduce the waiting time for HUD to release the funds. This will allow for a quicker start to both
internal and external programs which assist low and moderate income residents in Fayetteville.
