CHAIRPERSON ANNETTE CLARK, HCD MANAGER 2 i Cr� • PROPOSED REVISION 1/93 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES 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 1st of each year. For the Seventh CDBG Program Year (July 1, 1992 - June 30, 1993) as an entitlement jurisdiction, the City of Lynwood will receive an estimated $2,075,618. 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 HUD, the following action must be taken. 1 0 A notice was be published in the City's adjudicated newspaper on May 7 and 14, 1992, advising citizens of the amount of CDBG funds, including program income, which would be available for the 1992 -93 Program Year. Citizens were invited to provide input at a May 19th, 1992 Public Hearing before the Lynwood City Council. In addition, citizens were notified that copies of the Final Statement are available for review upon request. In compliance with HUD requirements, the City of Lynwood has developed a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Report. The CHAS is a five year action- oriented management tool developed to identify housing needs in the City of Lynwood, in conjunction with resources and programs to address those needs. The CHAS replaces the previous Housing Assistance Plan (HAP). Total 1992 -93 CDBG funds available to the City is as follows: 1992 -93 Allocation Reprogrammed Funds 1991 -92 Reallocated Funds Program Income $1,298,000.00 418,000.00 9,618.00 350,000_00 Total $2,075,618.00 II. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 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 CDBG. 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 1992 -93 Program Year activities. These objectives are listed below as they correspond to the CDBG objective categories. 2 A.
