OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT February 10, 2015 The Honorable Roy D. Buol Mayor of Dubuque 50 W 13th St Dubuque, IA 52001-4805 Dear Mayor Buol, CD -Q h. _ 0 0 ED r.Af'6 4//7/7 I am pleased to inform you of your jurisdiction's Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, allocations for the Office of Community Planning and Development's (CPD) formula programs, which provide funding for housing, community and economic development activities, and assistance for low and moderate -income persons and special populations across the country. President Obama signed Public Law 113-235 on December 16, 2014, which includes FY 2015 funding for these programs. Your jurisdiction's FY 2015 available amounts are: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $954,011 HOME Investment Paituerships (HOME) $ 0 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) $ 0 Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) $ 0 This letter highlights several important points related to these programs. First, Secretary Julian Castro is committed to making HUD the "Department of Opportunity" and is establishing a number of initiatives intended to achieve that goal. In 2015, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Department's establishment and these initiatives will build on HUD's mission to promote homeownership, support community development, and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. The Department looks forward to working with grantees on these key goals and urges you to review the entire plan at: lhtt3://portal.lud. ovlhudportal/ ?src=/hudvision Second, HUD recommends that grantees effectively plan and implement programs that leverage these critical Federal financial resources to achieve the greatest possible return for the communities and individuals they are intended to assist. If you would like assistance from CPD in redesigning, prioritizing or targeting your programs, either you or the head of the agency that administers your program may request technical assistance through your local CPD Director. Third, HUD urges grantees to consider using CDBG funds, to the extent possible, to support investments in predevelopment activities for infrastructure and public facilities activities. A Presidential Memorandum (http://www.whitehouse.gov/tile-press-office/2015/01/16/presidential- memorandum-expanding--federal-support-predevelopment-activit) issued January 16, 2015, instructed federal agencies to expand support for predevelopment activities and HUD will be sending CDBG grantees a separate letter detailing this initiative and outlining key predevelopment principles. www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FY 2015 CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE PERIOD ENDING June 30, 2016 PROJECTED SOURCES Entitlement Program Income Unexpended Funds Total Sources *REVISED* FY2016 954,011 291,629 1,245,640 Housing Development Programs: Proposed Acomplishments FY 2016 First Time Homebuyer Program 8 households 40,000 Homeowner Rehab Program 11 housing units 159,234 Housing Code Enforcement 400 housing units 88,140 Housing Rehabilitation Services and Staff 358,852 Rental Unit Rehabilitation 10 housing units 50,817 Housing Totals 697,043 Economic Development Programs: E.D.
