4. Discussion of 2017 CDBG and HOME applications and timeline.
The committee discussed the order in which the applications would be reviewed. Dresslar reminded the committee to keep the City Commission adopted “Step Up to Better Housing” strategy in mind when reviewing applications; also the effectiveness, benefit, and impact of any proposed program or project should be carefully examined. Staff provided the committee with an estimate of the 2017 funding for CDBG and HOME, and a spreadsheet listing all of the received application requests for funding.
The committee tentatively agreed to begin reviewing the public service applications at the January 26, 2017 and February 9, 2017. HOME applications would tentatively be reviewed at the February 23, 2017 meeting, and Non-Public Service (Capital Improvement) applications would tentatively be reviewed at the March 9, 2017 meeting. After completion of the allocation recommendations, a public hearing would be held at the April 27, 2017 meeting.
Delaney asked staff to send a copy of the neighborhoods map to the committee.
5. Public Comment.
Eric Sader with the Lawrence Douglas County Housing Authority gave the committee some demographics of the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program funded with the HOME grant. There are currently 16 families, which consist of 45 individuals, in the voucher based TBRA program; all of the families are single parent households, with 80% female head of household; around 50% of the families identify as black, which is a larger number than the racial composition of the community.
6. Miscellaneous/Calendar.
The next meeting of the CDAC will be on January 26, 2017 and the committee will begin reviewing the CDBG Public Service applications.
7. Adjourn.
Delaney moved to adjourn the January 12, 2017 meeting of the CDAC at 6:02 p.m. Simmons seconded the motion. The motion passed 8-0.
