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 advised that the City requested, and HUD approved, CDBG pre-agreement costs in the amount of $2,500,000 in PY21/FY22.
** The public is further advised that the City will request approval from HUD to incur CDBG pre-agreement costs in PY22/FY23 for the construction phase of the projects. CDBG
funds will be used to reimburse the City when funds become available, subject to sufficient funding from HUD; subsequently, future CDBG awards may 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, HOME, and ESG programs, 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 HOPWA program, 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 February 14, 2021. Interested parties may submit written comments prior to April 10, 2021 to the
Department of Budget and Fiscal Services, Federal Grants Unit, 925 Dillingham Boulevard, Room 240, Honolulu, HI 96817. All comments received by the deadline will be taken
