BACKGROUND:
Background
The City of Deltona (City) receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on an annual basis. The City has been notified that it will receive approximately $515,000 for HUD Program Year (PY) 2023-2024. These funds are available to implement activities identified in the City’s 2023-2027 Five Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan (AAP), which was currently under public notice and public participation from January 19th 2024 until February 18, 2024. Both the Con Plan and the AAP will be presented to the Commission for approval at the regular Commission meeting on February 19, 2024. The Con Plan, list areas in which the City would like to expend CDBG monies over the next five years and the Annual Action Plan (AAP) list projects to be undertaken in each individual PY.
Per HUD guidelines, up to 15%, of the CDBG allocation can be used to fund public service organizations serving City residents. In accordance with HUD guidelines there has been public participation to help determine how the CDBG funds are to be used within the City. Six public service applications were received by the City. Several City staff members served as the ranking and review committee for these grant applications. Applicants were provided an opportunity to give an oral presentation about their program and answer any questions from the Ranking and Review Committee.
The following is the result of the Committee’s ranking predicated on a merit-based review of each application:
PUBLIC SERVICE APPLICANT and AWARDED/ALLOCATED AMOUNT
Boys and Girls Club - $13,356.12
Early Learning Coalition - $12,976.55
Council on Aging - $12,668.16
Hands of Hope - $11,624.34
The Neighborhood Center - $10,865.20
Nitty-Gritty Ministries - $2,500.00 - for Volusia Flagler Contiuum of Care annual membership and one annual HMIS license, both not to exceed allocated amount.
Due to several technical issues with the original Consolidated Plan, this is a resubmission of the originally submitted Consolidated Plan and Annual Action, which has been updated and corrected to more substantially align with HUD and CDBG guidelines.
