SUBJECT: Reallocation of Community Development
Block Grant Funds
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memo is to provide the Mayor and members of the
City Council with information to consider the reallocation of
unexpended Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the
Residential Rehabilitation Program.
BACKGROUND
A number of CDBG projects from program years 1996, 1997 and 1998
have been completed under budget . A total of $18, 098 . 53 in CDBG
rfunds remains to be reallocated. A list of those projects,
t including an itemization of unexpended funds, is attached for your
review.
In order to use the remaining funds, City Council action is
required to designate another CDBG project or projects to receive
the transfer of funds . Since the City of Elgin' s Residential
Rehabilitation Program has been a high priority and very popular
program, this Program has been identified as a potential recipient
of these funds. Since the average rehabilitation cost per homeowner
is $5, 000, the additional $18, 098 . 53 would allow three or four
additional homeowners to be processed.
The reallocation of funds to the Residential Rehabilitation Program
will allow an increased number of Elgin residents to rehabilitate
their single-family homes, thereby improving the quality of life in
our communities .
