Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the reallocation of $50,000 in 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT) funds. The Family Coach Position at the Steve O’Neil Apartments Project by CHUM was originally funded with Emergency Solution Grant (ESG-CV-1) funding. However, it has subsequently been determined that the program is eligible and a better fit for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV-1) funds. The available $50,000 in funding within the CDBG-CV-1 program was maintained as program reserve funding to address unexpected needs in pandemic response. As such, the funding is unallocated and will not result in less funding for any other projects.
It is anticipated that the additional $50,000 available to the ESG-CV-1 made available as part of this modification will be directed for pandemic response in a future resolution.
Source of Funds
$50,000 in HUD CDBG-CV-1 Funds
The resolution reallocates funds by project for the CDBG-CV-1 and authorizes a contract for the activity upon completion of the environmental review process.
