Agenda Title:

Request Council Approval for Reallocation of $70,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Unspent FY2012 and FY2014 Entitlement Funds to the Neighborhood Restoration Loan Program.

Summary:

CDBG Entitlement Funds have not been allocated to the Neighborhood Restoration Loan Program for 4 years as there was a large program income balance from loan payoffs to use.  The program income balance is currently about $10,000 in unencumbered funds (enough to do 1-2 projects). Habitat for Humanity, Dakota Home Resources and Western SD Community Action, Code Enforcement, and the Rapid City Police Department, will be partnering on a neighborhood revitalization initiative for the Garfield School area this year.  The Neighborhood Restoration Loan program would be able to play a key role in that revitalization project with greater leveraging of public/private dollars if we had more funding, since we are able to assist the lowest income households with our 0% loan program.

 

Investment Committee met on March 10, 2015 and approved the recommendation to allocate $70,000 from unspent funds from FY 2012 and FY 2014 to the Neighborhood Restoration Loan Program.

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Funds from FY2012 and FY2014 in amount of $70,000.

Recommendation:

Action: Choose an item. Approve

Notes:  Request for Reallocation of $70,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Unspent FY2012 and FY2014 Entitlement Funds to the Neighborhood Restoration Loan Program.
