Press release from the City:<\/p>\n

Mayor announces Community Development Block Grant Fund Allocations, commends Federal Funds going toward local priorities<\/strong>
\nHenry praises community organizations addressing needs, citizen advisers who helped set funding priorities<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayor Tom Henry joined a group of 6- and 7-year-olds who are attending Wellspring’s Daycamp at First Presbyterian Church this morning to announce 2009 Community Development Block Grant allocations from the City of Fort Wayne. The Wellspring program, which targets children from low income families, is one of the programs receiving part of the $235,000 in funds for public services.<\/p>\n

“The Community Development Block Grant program is one of the few examples of federal money coming into our community where local decisions affect its use,” said Mayor Tom Henry. “A group of citizen advisers helps me set the priority for how the funds will be allocated and what challenges will be addressed with this funding. In this time of increasing need and decreasing resources, we strive to distribute the funds in such a way that we make each dollar go as far as it can.”<\/p>\n

Mayor Henry said the CDBG funds for public services have been prioritized to the greatest needs in our community. He commended the many agencies and organizations capably working to address the most pressing concerns, and said these grants will help support and maintain programs that lift up and assist senior citizens, low-income families, refugees, and those who need job training or health services.<\/p>\n

CDBG: What is it?<\/strong>
\nThe Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.<\/p>\n

CDBG funds can be used for a variety of activities including public infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation, acquisition, clearance (demolition), economic development, and public services. The City is allowed to spend a portion of the CDBG allotment on public services. Public services include (but are not limited to) child care, health care, job training, recreation programs, education programs, public safety services, services for seniors, and services for homeless persons. The $235,000 allocations in today’s announcement comprise the public services portion of the entire Block Grant.<\/p>\n

CDBG: Where does it come from?<\/strong>
\nThe City of Fort Wayne receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The amount awarded is based on a formula taking into account many factors, including population and other characteristics. In 2009 the City is receiving $2,132,451. This is the first time since 2003 that Fort Wayne has not experienced a cut in CDBG funds. Last year, the City expected a 10-15% reduction each year going forward, but this year the amount stayed about the same and did not decrease, which allows more funding support than the City had anticipated being able to offer.<\/p>\n

CDBG: The City’s Grant Application Process<\/strong>
\nEach year the City takes applications from local non-profit organizations for funding social service programs. The City receives anywhere between 30 and 50 applications annually. Funding decisions are made based on a needs assessment and public community meetings completed as part of the five-year Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan identifies what services the community needs and places a priority on those services. The Plan serves as the basis for allocating the CDBG funds over the next five years and gets updated at least annually.<\/p>\n
