Those funds in the amount of $XX,XXX will be carried forward into FY 2019-2020. Both the <br />added HUD entitlement grant and the FY 2018-2019 carryforward will be allocated to increased funding <br />for public services and ADA upgrades to the City public buildings. For the added public services funding, <br />staff made increases in funding allocations proportionate to the overall amount of funding that they <br />were committed in FY 2018-2019. There was no increase to the Section 108 loan repayment which is a <br />set amount. With regard to the Single Family Rehabilitation Program funding will remain at $XXX,000. In <br />FY 17-18 the City was repaid $300,000 by an area non-profit organization as they were no longer in <br />compliance with the loan agreement. The City proposes to allocate those funds to a different non-profit <br />organization that will rehabilitate a Public Facility ($300,000). All remaining CDBG funds will be split <br />between the City’s ADA Transition Plan improving accessibility of public buildings and any other <br />organization that comes to the City with a public facility in need of repairs or rehabilitation. <br />2.
