CDBG EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION GRANT
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
As a result of the devastation caused by the January 17, 1994
Northridge earthquake, and continuing recovery needs resulting
from the 1993 Midwest floods, Congress has enacted the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1994 (Public Law 103 -211),
appropriating $500 million for the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs. Of that
amount $175 million,in CDBG funds and'$75 million in HOME funds
was made available to Southern California.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has made
$109,000 in CDBG emergency supplemental appropriation funds
available to the City of Lynwood for eligible Northridge
earthquake recovery expenses. This amount was derived by
allocating available funds among affected communities through use
of a formula which compared the number of applications for
housing damage assisted by FEMA from persons within the City's
jurisdiction to the number of all such applications received from
persons affected by the Northridge earthquake.
The City's share of funds stemming from this allocation
($109,000) does not, in the view of HUD, support the provision of
a grantlon an entitlement basis. However HUD has decided to
offer the City an opportunity to identify one or more specific
activities for which the funds can be used.
CDBG Emergency Supplemental Appropriation funds cannot be used
for any activity reimbursable by FEMA or available through the
Small Business Administration (SBA).
These funds will be used for eligible Northridge earthquake
damage only. The use of these funds will be governed in.
accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, (the Act) as amended, the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act of 1994 (Public Law 103 -211), and with 24 CFR
570.303 of the Community Development Block Grant regulations.

APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ACT WAIVER:
To further the purposes of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriation Act of 1994, the HUD Secretary waived several
requirements in connection the use of funds. The waived
requirements which is applicable to the City's proposed use of
funds is as follows:
42USC 5305(a)(2) and (a)(14), and for the CDBG entitlement
program 24 CFR 570.207(a)(1), restrictions on the repair or
reconstruction of building used for the general conduct of
government.
Therefore these funds may be used to repair City structures
damaged by the earthquake.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES:
The City of Lynwood has adopted several objectives to provide
both a method and a vehicle for achieving the primary objective
of the CDBG, which is the development of viable urban
communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living
environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for
persons of low and moderate income.
Consistent with the City's CDBG and National Objectives, and CDBG
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, this program is
designed to achieve the primary objective. Regulations governing
the program also required 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 slum 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.
CDBG program requirements 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 BUD, the following action must be taken.
