- COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
I. Introduction
Funding for the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is autho~
under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-
The program provides grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop v
urban communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living environmeni
by expanding economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons.
The amount of each entitlement grant is determined by statutory formula which uses se
objective measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, hot
overcrowding, 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 fun
priorities (see Local Objectives). However, maximum feasible priority will be given to actiy
which meet at least one of the local community development objectives and at least one o
three broad national objectives for the program.
11. Program Development
The City of Carlsbad is eligible to receive CDBG funds on an annual basis. In ordel
Carlsbad to receive the grant, a list of community development objectives must be devel
along with an outline of proposed projects. The City of Carlsbad must also certify that i
followed an approved Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and that no1
than 70% of the CDBG funds will be used for activities that benefit low and moderate in(
persons. Low. and moderate income guidelines are based upon household size and a ck

The total amount of CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Develop
estimated to be available for Carlsbad in 1995-96 is $685,848. This figure includes an expc
new CDBG allocation of $614,000 and $71,847.84 which will be reallocated from previc
approved projects which were canceled or were completed with a surplus of funds. The
of Carlsbad has no program income from previous CDBG Entitlement program years.
To develop a 1995-96 CDBG program which meets the needs of the low and moderate inc
population, Carlsbad requests assistance from members of the community. Citizen particip
is critical to the success of the Carlsbad CDBG program. Therefore, we are encouragir

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
DESCRIPTION
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program was established in 1974 by
federal government with the passage of the Housing and Community Development Act of I!
This program provides monies to cities to undertake certain kinds of community developr
and housing activities. Activities proposed by the City must meet the objectives and eligib
criteria of the CDBG legislation.
The primary CDBG objective is the development of viable urban communities, by provil
decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportuni
principally for persons of low and moderate income. Each activity to be funded with CI
monies must meet one of the three broad national objectives of
1. Benefit to low- and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or,
3. Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because exi:
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the commx
where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
This means that each activity must be considered in light of the persons who would benefit j
that activity and/or the physical conditions of the area benefiting from the activity. Overa!
least 70% of the City’s CDBG expenditures must be for activities benefiting low- and mode
income persons.
