* The public is advised that the City requested 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 exercised its pre-award option 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.
The Twenty-Fifth (25th) Year Action Plan was approved by HUD on July 31, 2019. The Twenty-Fifth (25th) Year Action Plan projects are available for public review on the City’s
website at http://www.honolulu.gov/cms-bfs-menu/site-bfs-sitearticles/408-federal-grants.html or on the Municipal Reference Center’s (MRC) online catalog at http://www4.
