The primary objective of this program is "the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and an expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income". I More specifically the objectives are: 1) The elimination of slums and blight and the prevention of blighting influences and deterioration of property and neighborhood and community facilities. 2) The elimination of conditions which are detrimental to health, safet.- and public welfare. 3) The conservation and expansion of the Nation's housing stock. 4). The expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services principally for persons of low and moderate income, which are essential for sound cormnunity development. 5) A more rational utilization of land and other natural resources and the better arrangement of residential, commercial.. industrial, recreational, and other activity centers. The area that meets Federal requirements for CDBG assistance in Carlsbad is Census Tract 179.00. Roughly, this is the area west of I-5 to the railroad tracks bounded north and south by Buena Vista and Aqua Hedionda Lagoons. A review by H.U.D. officials found this area to have blighting conditions and low-income concentration to warrant CDBG funds. All Carlsbad CDBG funds must be expended in Census Tract 179.00. In the past seven years Carlsbad has spent Block Grant monies, on various captial improvement programs. Magee and Harding Street restorations, commercial and residential rehabilitation programs, streetscaping and sidewalk construction projects have been selected for funding. The City Council recently entered into a three year cooperation agreement with the County. This means the City will be eligible for approximately $210,000 per year for the next three years. 1: Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Title I, Section 101; paragraph C. 2: Housing and Community Development Act, Title I, Section 101, paragraph C, Sec.1-5. 1 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT • EXPENDITURE REPORT I .i November 2, 1981 • } i COUNTY CITY AVAILABLE ALLOCATED EXPENDED BALANCE FIRST YEAR Magee House Restoration 35,000 35,000 - 0 SECOND YEAR Harding Street Center 68,000 68,000 - 0 THIRD YEAR Residential Rehabilitation 103,000 16,000 87>000 FOURTH YEAR Streetscape 137,OnO 103,000 34,000 I FIFTH YEAR i .Streetscape 104,000 Surplus from fourth year 34,000 138,000 11,000 127,000 1 Commercial Rehabilitation 33,000 - 0 •• 33,000 SIXTH YEAR Streetscape 123,000 Surplus from fifth year 127,000 250,000 -• 0 - 250,000 Alley Paving 6,400 16,000 - 0 - Housing Development Fund (City Share) 38400 - 0- 38,000 SEVENTH YEAR Streetscape 2.1,000 i Surplus from sixth year 250,000 272,000 -- 0 - 272,000 !
