be ginning October 1, 2006, $1,959,516 in CDBG funds and $636,463 in HOME funds_ This
amount is $498,000 less than what was provided for the current year. In addition, six cities have a
total of $ 123,398 remaining from previous CDBG projects that they wish to reprogram_ Finally, it
is estimated that $101,000 in FY04 and $64,306 in FY05 carryover froth CDBG administration is
available for allocation_ In accordance with the County's CDBG policies, staff and the program's
thirteen consortium cities have developed projects and activities that urtilize these funds.

FY2006 notification letters. In addition, staff has proposed allocating the unincorporated area's
$84,694 funding and $15,306 from, the FY04 carryover CDBG administration project to Cockrell
Hill as reimbursement for the funds that were used to undertake the Wagon Wheel street project in

*This allocation is required under federal law and is equivalent to 15% of
the County's total IIOME award; this $93,449 must be provided to special
housing non profits for use in acquiring rehabilitating, or producing
affordable housing.
DVACT ON FINANCE /OPERATIONS
Detailed line -item budgets for CDBG Administration, Housing Rehabilitation Administration, the
Home Loan Counseling Center (HLCC) and the CDBG Program Engineer are presented in
Attachment 11. No new staffing is being requested for any of these activities.
HUD regulations allow no more than 15% of the total CDBG allocation to be used for public service
activities like the Dome Loan Counseling Center. For the FY06 program year, this 15% will produce
$293,942 which is less than the program's current $353,300 budget. HHS has advised that it will be
seeking to offset this loss in CDBG funding through the County's regular budget process.
All HOME fiords, other than the $93,449 earmarked for CHDOs as is required by Federal law, are
being allocated to the Housing Replacement program and the Up -Front Cost Assistance Program.
Also, the Home Loan Counseling Center (I LCC ) will utilize $13,470 from the American Dream
Down payment Initiative (ADDI) funds for the UPCAP program.
