Plan identifies the community’s need for affordable housing units for very low, low and
moderate income persons/households. The City of Carlsbad Housing Element is hereby
incorporated by reference into the Community Development Plan to indicate community need
for affordable housing.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
1994-199s
SUMMARY
I. Introduction
Funding for the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is authorized
under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383.
The program provides grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable
urban communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment and
by expanding economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons.
The amount of each entitlement grant is determined by statutory formula which uses several
objective measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, housing
over-crowding, age of housing and growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
Entitlement communities, such as the City of Carlsbad, develop their own programs and funding
priorities. However, maximum feasible priority must be given to activities which meet the local
community development objectives and at least one of the three broad national objectives for the
program.
II. Program Development
The City of Carlsbad is eligible to receive CDBG funds on an annual basis. In order for
Carlsbad to receive the grant, a list of community development objectives must be developed
along with an outline of proposed projects. The City of Carlsbad must also certify that it is
following an approved Comprehensive Housing Assistance Strategy (CHAS) and that not less
than 70% of the CDBG funds will be used for activities that benefit low and moderate income
persons.
III. Funding
The total amount of new CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development estimated to be available for Carlsbad in 1994-95 is $558,000. In addition, the City
has a total of $37,297.60 in CDBG funds available for reallocation from previously approved,
completed projects and $26,418.55 in unprogrammed funds resulting from the transfer of County
CDBG funds to the City in CDBG program year 1992-1993. The total amount of funds
available for allocation to eligible projects in 1994-95 is $621,716.15.
