INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW II. CERTIFICATIONS �. ,-. Q - - -- _ - � - - --- -.. - --- - � � � I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually to entitlement jurisdictions upon presentation of the Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds, and Certifications that the program requirements have been met. CDBG funds are made available effective July lst of each year. For the Sixth CDBG Program ' Year (July 1, 1991 - June 30, 1992) as an entitlement jurisdiction, the City of Lynwood will receive an estimated $1,825,591.00. The CDBG Program was initiated by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. Although the HCDA has been amended in recent years, the primary objective continues to be: "... The development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environ- "' ' ment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income." . The City of Lynwood's CDBG program is designed to achieve the primary'objective. Regulations governing the Program also require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of three broad national objectives as follows: 1. Benefit low and moderate-income persons; , 2. Aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and blight; and 3. Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency. , The City must certify that its Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds has been designed to give maximum feasible priority to activities which meet objectives 1 and 2 above. A key CDBG Program requirement involves assurance that citizens have been afforded the opportunity to review and , give input to the Statement of Objectives. Therefore, prior to the submission of this document to AUD, the following action must be taken. 1 � i � � .. i , j , , � . . i � , , ;. , � � . i , _ , � , � � A notice will be published in the City's adjudicated newspaper on May 8, 1991, advising citizens of the amount of CDBG funds, including program income, which would be available for the 1991-92 Program Year. Citizens will be invited to provide input at a May 21, 1991 Public Hearing before the Lynwood City Council. In addition, citizens will be notified that copies of the Proposed Statement are available for review upon request. � In compliance with additional CDBG requirements, the City of Lynwood has a HUD approved Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) for - the three year period of October,l, 1988, through September , 30, 1991. The HAP establishes goals for housing assistance, based on the condition of the available housing stock and needs of low and moderate income households. . Total 1991-92 CDBG funds available to the City is as follows: Estimated 1991-92 Entitlement $1,217,000.00 Reprogrammed Funds 400,000.00 Program Income 200,000.00 FY 1990 Reallocated Funds 8.591.00 Total $1,825,591.00 COMMUNITY DEVEIAPMENT OBJECTIVES For the previous CDBG Program Years the City of Lynwood adopted several objectives to provide both a method and a vehicle for achieving the primary objective of the HCDA. In addition, the objectives provide assurance that all Housing and Community Development activities undertaken in the City are consistent with the National Objectives under the law. The City's objectives have again been adopted as guidance for the 1991-92 Program Year activities. These objectives are listed below as they correspond to the CDBG objective _ categories. 2 Q� � ' � �� , , � � ; � , � j , � � � � , ; - . ,, ;. a ; , . ; . ; � ; � ; � , ; i. � � A.
