Resolution No. 2993-R0070
The duration of CDBG funding for any public service program or activity is intended not to
exceed four (4) consecutive years. Public Service Projects must continue to provide services to
clients as their Community Development allocation decreases. Projects will not receive initial
funding without a plan for increasing funding from other sources. The maximum percentage of
CDBG funds to total public service programs or activities will be limited to:
~ First Year Funding: 75% of program costs
~ Second Year Funding: 55% of First Year Funds
~ Third Year-Funding: 35% of First Year Funds
~ Fourth Year Funding: 15% of First Year Funds
~ Fifth Year Funding: None
Subrecipients must be able to demonstrate that their level of service will be maintained as CD
funding decreases. This encourages agencies to seek other sources of funding for their programs.
By limiting the number of years that an agency can receive assistance, the policy also encourages
the funding of new programs and agencies. Funding of public service programs or activities
for Year 1 will not imply commitment for subsequent year's funding
Requests for additional years' funding will be evaluated based upon subrecipient's demonstrated
service to low income residents, ability to demonstrate self-sufficiency of clientele, positive
impact to the community, compliance with record keeping requirements for prior CDBG
funding, and the actual allocation of funds from HUD to the City of Lubbock
In the case that there are not enough qualified applications for this type of program, the
public service policy would be waived. This will give the Board the flexibility to fund sub-
recipients at a higher rate than may be allowed under the existing four-year funding cycle.
This will ensure that 20% of the public service funds will go to childcare. In this case,
childcare will be defined as any provider that meets the requirements to be certified by the
Work Source Child Care Services (WSCCS).
