We are an Entitlement City but we typically use our CDBG funds for infrastructure project.  Our staff is limited for purposes of implementing/administering a program for this funding. We are looking for ideas on how best to serve the eligible citizens within our community with the CDBG-CV funds that have been awarded to our city.  How are other Entitlement Cities spending the CDBG-CV funds?

Normally, we use our CDBG funds for infrastructure, primarily housing. However, our city has another program that gives out grants. We are combining our two boards and solicited responses from local non-profits for the funds. We intend to award them as grants. The non-profit proposals have been run by our local CDBG contact to assure that the uses are acceptable.

Good afternoon.  The City of Melbourne is using its CDBG-CV funds to provide eligible residents with rental/mortgage payments and utility payments.

Although I have not researched it, I have been informed that CDBG-CV requires that the award of funds must be made by the City directly to the landlord/bank or utility company; funds cannot be made payable to the eligible resident.  So there are multiple check recipients for each eligible resident (ie landlord or bank, power company, gas company, water company, etc).  I am also told that means each check recipient would have to register with the City as a vendor so that the proper tax reporting can be done.  That won’t be a problem for the utilities but that is a lot of different landlords/banks.

Regards,
Alison
