Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:  During the 2023 application process for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, which occurred in the fall of 2022, the amount of requests exceeded the estimated amount the City of Duluth expects to receive.  To assist in this demand, city staff reviewed previous projects for funding opportunities. The 2020 Community Action Duluth Seeds of Success project did not use their allocated funds and the 2021 Salvation Army Landlord Incentives Program did not spend down all their allocated funding. 

 

At the December 6, 2022 community development committee meeting, the committee allocated these funds to the 2023 CDBG Program to assist with difference between the agencies’ requests and estimated allocation.
