Grant funds are intended for the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for the benefit of low and moderate income individuals. Shaded sections on the CD Eligible Census Tracts and Block Groups have been identified as primarily low-/moderate-income areas (LMA), and all qualified activities occurring within these sections are considered to benefit all residents and businesses within the corresponding area. Generally, eligible activities include but are not limited to housing, public services, public improvements, economic development, and homelessness.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
Act (“CARES Act”)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (“CARES Act”) provides billions of dollars in federal grant
funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments, hospitals, and
other organizations in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The CARES Act includes additional HUD funds to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to facilitate immediate assistance to eligible communities and households economically impacted by COVID-19. The CARES Act also included a waiver to allow a public review and comment period to be no less than 5 days. Due to reduced and suspended services in the current year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, available unspent HUD have been identified to reallocate to further support the City's COVID-19 relief efforts.
