Attached is a Project Application Form which must be completed for each project. Although some of you may have submitted three year proposals when the current cooperation agreements were executed, proposals must be resubmitted for next year's projects. A xerox copy with a corrected date and original signature will suffice after budget figures and other details are checked for accuracy. The estimated CDBG grant for 1990-91 is $1,558,000. This is based on reports of cuts up to and possibly exceeding 5% and no anticipated reallocation of contingency funds. Based on this total and newly adopted allocation policies, your city's allocation for projects is $35;141 plus admin. of $6;600. $7;689 of the project amount must be used for housing rehabilitation based on the allocation formula for your jurisdiction. Please give Damien Gossett a call at 670-5404 to discuss your housing rehabilitation proposals so there can be a common understanding of production goals and how funding is to be divided among eligible housing rehabilitation activities. You will be notified of exact grant figures as soon as they are available. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Berty Gary at that same phone number. Sincerely, John N.
