The proposed projects and allocations listed in this notice are estimates and current as of February 10, 2023. Once the final allocations are known, adjustments will be made to increase/decrease funding to comply with program requirements (ex. administrative caps). Also, adjustments may be made to projects in priority order, including funding alternate projects.

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 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.

Interested parties may submit written comments prior to March 22, 2023 to the Department of Budget and Fiscal Services, Federal Grants Unit, 925 Dillingham Boulevard, Room 240, Honolulu, HI 96817.
