PUBLIC NOTICE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG), HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME), HOUSING TRUST FUND (HTF),
EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS (ESG) AND HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS (HOPWA) PROGRAMS
In accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements regarding the City and County of Honolulu’s (City) Consolidated Plan, the City hereby
provides a list of proposed projects for the City’s Twenty-Fifth (25th) Year Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020). The City’s 5-Year Consolidated Plan identifies
housing and community development needs and a long-range strategic plan to meet those needs. The annual Action Plan details the activities the City will undertake in the
upcoming year to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The proposed projects in this the City’s Twenty-Fifth (25th) Year Action Plan are as follows:
The public is advised that the City will exercise its pre-award option under the CDBG program. In addition
to the 25% pre-award project costs that may be incurred without HUD approval, the City will request
approval from HUD to incur pre-award costs in excess of 25% for the CDBG program. CDBG funds will
be used to reimburse the City when funds become available, subject to sufficient funding from HUD.
* The public is also advised that the City will request approval from HUD to incur CDBG pre-agreement
costs in PY21/FY22 and PY22/FY23 for the construction phase of the projects.
** The public is further advised that the City will request approval from HUD to incur CDBG pre-agreement
costs in the amounts of $5,106,800 in PY20/FY21, and $2,931,200 in PY21/FY22. CDBG funds will be used
to reimburse the City when funds become available, subject to sufficient funding from HUD; subsequently,
future CDBG awards will be impacted. For projects funded with future CDBG grant funds, if there should
be a reduction in CDBG program funding, the City will distribute the reduction to all current non-multi-year
projects proportionally. If there should be an increase in CDBG program funding, the City will fund the
alternate projects identified in the current Action Plan.
The public is further advised that the City may incur pre-award costs under the HOME program that will
not exceed 25% of the current HOME allocation. HOME funds will be used to reimburse the City when
funds become available, subject to sufficient funding from HUD. Should funds not be available, the City
will cover the costs or future funding for HOME projects may be reduced.
In addition, the City has prepared a list of alternate projects for the CDBG program, listed above, that will
be funded in the event that selected projects cannot be implemented. The City may permit their funding in
the subsequent fiscal year if there are insufficient funds in the current year. For the HOME, HTF, ESG and
HOPWA programs, if excess/unspent funds become available, funds will be reallocated among the
agencies listed, provided that the agency is performing satisfactorily and has the ability to expend
the funds in a timely manner.
All interested parties are invited to attend and provide testimony at the City Council meetings.
The proposed projects and allocations listed in this Notice are current as of March 5, 2019. Interested
parties may submit written comments prior to April 5, 2019 to the Department of Budget and Fiscal
Services, Federal Grants Unit, 530 South King Street, Room 208, Honolulu, HI 96813. All comments received
by the deadline will be taken under advisement in the preparation of the City’s Final Twenty-Fifth (25th)
Year Action Plan.

website at http://www.honolulu.gov/cms-bfs-menu/site-bfs-sitearticles/408-federal-grants.html
