COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS/ENTITLEMENT GRANTS

PURPOSE: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM PROVIDES ANNUAL GRANTS ON A FORMULA BASIS TO STATES, CITIES, AND COUNTIES TO DEVELOP VIABLE URBAN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING DECENT HOUSING AND A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND BY EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRINCIPALLY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. THE PROGRAM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE 1 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, PUBLIC LAW 93-383, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. 5301 ET SEQ. THE CDBG PROGRAM COVERS FOUR DISTINCT PROGRAMS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN SET OF GOVERNING REGULATIONS: CDBG ENTITLEMENT, CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII, CDBG INSULAR AREAS, AND STATE CDBG. IN THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, HUD AWARDS GRANTS TO ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY GRANTEES TO CARRY OUT A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND FUNDING PRIORITIES. IN THE CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII PROGRAM, THREE COUNTIES QUALIFY: HAWAII, KAUAI, AND MAUI. THE FY 2004 APPROPRIATIONS ACT REQUIRED THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII TO DECIDE IF THE STATE WISHED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM BY JULY 31, 2004. THE STATE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. AS A RESULT OF THIS DECISION HUD'S HONOLULU FIELD OFFICE ADMINISTERS THE NON-ENTITLED GRANTS IN HAWAII. FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED USING A FORMULA BASED ON POPULATION, POVERTY, AND HOUSING OVERCROWDING, WITH THE POVERTY FACTOR CARRYING A DOUBLE WEIGHT. FOR THE CDBG INSULAR AREAS PROGRAM, HUD ANNUALLY ALLOCATES CDBG GRANTS TO FOUR DESIGNATED AREAS: AMERICAN SAMOA; GUAM; NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED IN PROPORTION TO THE POPULATIONS OF THE ELIGIBLE TERRITORIES. THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY HUD'S FIELD OFFICES IN PUERTO RICO AND HAWAII. UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES PASS THROUGH CDBG GRANTS TO UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT. ANNUALLY, EACH STATE DEVELOPS FUNDING PRIORITIES AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS. NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS INCLUDE THOSE UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS DIRECTLY FROM HUD. GENERALLY, NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS ARE CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 50,000 (EXCEPT CITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS), AND COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 200,000. CURRENT CDBG AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF HUD COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CPD) AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/ALLOCATIONS-AWARDS/; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: CDBG FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; RELOCATION AND DEMOLITION; REHABILITATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES; CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, STREETS, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND THE CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES; PUBLIC SERVICES, WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS; ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES; PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE TO PROFIT-MOTIVATED BUSINESSES TO CARRY OUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION/RETENTION ACTIVITIES. EACH ACTIVITY MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROGRAM: BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, PREVENTION OR ELIMINATION OF SLUMS OR BLIGHT, OR ADDRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS HAVING A PARTICULAR URGENCY BECAUSE EXISTING CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH OTHER FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE: ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, OR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT; POLITICAL ACTIVITIES; CERTAIN INCOME PAYMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS). UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES MAY USE $100,000 PLUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERCENT OF ITS CDBG ALLOCATION. AMOUNTS EXPENDED ON ADMINISTRATION IN EXCESS OF $100,000 MUST BE MATCHED. STATES MAY EXPEND UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THEIR CDBG ALLOCATION ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL A STATE SPENDS ON BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE EXPENSES MAY NOT EXCEED $100,000 PLUS THREE PERCENT OF THE STATE'S ALLOCATION. CPD HAS DEVELOPED PROFILES THAT DISPLAY GRANTEE-REPORTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SELECTED HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. PROFILES FOR GRANTEES WILL VARY, AS GRANTEES HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING THE HOUSING, ECONOMIC, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THEY CARRY OUT WITH CDBG FUNDS. THE MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE VIEWED WITHIN THE NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/PROGRAMS/CDBG/CDBG-ACCOMPLISHMENT-REPORTS/; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CDBG PROGRAM REINFORCES SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND PRIORITIES; AN EMPHASIS ON CONSOLIDATED PLANNING THAT EXPANDS AND STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIPS AMONG ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES AND SET-ASIDE FOR GRANTEES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THESE PARTNERS. EACH CDBG GRANTEE’S EXPECTED OUTCOMES ARE DESCRIBED AS GOALS IN THEIR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED PLANS CAN BE VIEWED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/REPORTS/#CONSOLIDATED-PLANS-ANNUAL-ACTION-PLANS-AND-CAPERS; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OVER A 1, 2, OR 3-YEAR PERIOD, AS SELECTED BY THE GRANTEE, NOT LESS THAN 70 PERCENT OF CDBG FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. HUD DOES NOT PROVIDE CDBG ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, NONPROFIT OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL OR COUNTY OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS MAY DIFFER FROM ONE GRANTEE TO ANOTHER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTEE ADMINISTERS THE CDBG PROGRAM AND DETERMINES WHICH LOCAL PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING. ELIGIBLE GRANTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (MSAS); OTHER METROPOLITAN CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 50,000; QUALIFIED URBAN COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 200,000 (EXCLUDING THE POPULATION OF ENTITLED CITIES); STATES AND INSULAR AREAS. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IS FUNDED UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. THE STATE OF HAWAII DOES NOT PARTICIPATE, AND HUD ALLOCATES THE STATE'S SHARE OF FUNDS TO THE THREE HAWAII NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES. THE STATES ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

THE NORRIS SCHOOL DISTRICT VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM (NSDVPP) WILL IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE STUDENTS, STAFF, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES OF NORRIS SCHOOL DISTRICT 160 (NSD160). NSD160 SERVES 2483 STUDENTS IN GRADES K-12, WITH FOUR BUILDINGS, 44 BUSES RUNNING OVER TWO DOZEN DAILY AM AND PM ROUTES, AND A DISTRICT AREA OF 213 SQUARE MILES ENCOMPASSING THE NEBRASKA TOWNSHIPS OF ROCA, HICKMAN, FIRTH, CORTLAND, PANAMA, PRINCETON, HOLLAND, CHENEY AND ROKEBY. THE PRIMARY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR NSD160 IS THE LANCASTER COUNTY SHERIFF (LCS); A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE NSDVPP. LCS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES THROUGHOUT LANCASTER COUNTY, CONSISTING OF AN AREA OF 837 SQUARE MILES AND A POPULATION OF 322,608. DUE TO THE LARGE AREA THE LCS PATROLS AND THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT IS LOCATED IN A RURAL AREA OF SOUTHERN LANCASTER COUNTY, THE EXTENDED TIME BEFORE LCS CAN RESPOND TO A SERIOUS INCIDENT AT NSD160 IS A CRITICAL CONCERN. NSDVPP WILL ADDRESS SEVERAL MAJOR ISSUES AS IDENTIFIED BY OUR COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY AUDIT. THIS AUDIT, CONDUCTED BY THE SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE, (MEETING ON A QUARTERLY BASIS) CONSISTS OF A REPRESENTATION OF KEY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING ADMINISTRATION, STAFF, PARENTS, FIRST RESPONDERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS AUDIT FOUND NSD160 LACKING IN SEVERAL CRITICAL AREAS AS WELL AS RELYING UPON OUTDATED AND NON-FUNCTIONING SECURITY EQUIPMENT/TECHNOLOGY. NSDVPP WILL FACILITATE THE PURCHASE OF VIDEO SECURITY ON BUSES, VISITOR MONITORING, VISITOR BACKGROUND CHECKS, MAIN ENTRY DOOR SECURITY AND BUILDING INTERCOM/ALERTING SYSTEMS. LCS WILL GAIN MORE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVELY MONITOR AND INVESTIGATE INCIDENTS. NSD160 HAS DEVELOPED A MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS (MTSS), IMPROVING THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT BY LAYERING INTERVENTIONS THAT HELP ALL STUDENTS IMPROVE BEHAVIOR/MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. NSDVPP WILL COMPLEMENT THE POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AT NSD160 THROUGH ITS MTSS PROCESS BY IDENTIFYING INCIDENTS AND BEHAVIORS BEFORE INCIDENTS ESCALATE WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT MUST BE CALLED TO RESPOND. THUS THE TECHNOLOGY/EQUIPMENT SOLUTIONS SOUGHT IN THIS GRANT ARE COMPLEMENTARY AND AN INSTRUMENTAL COMPONENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY PLAN. NSD160 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF HAS BEEN TRAINED IN INTERVENTION STRATEGIES FOCUSED ON DE-ESCALATION OF VIOLENT INCIDENTS WHILE CREATING A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. EDUCATIONAL SERVICE UNIT 6 (ESU6) COLLABORATES WITH NSD160 TO PROVIDE MTSS COORDINATION/FACILITATION SERVICES SO NSD160 CAN TRAIN ALL STAFF IN VIOLENCE PREVENTION TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE RESPONSES TO BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS OF ITS STUDENTS. NSD160 ALSO EMPLOYS 5 FULL-TIME COUNSELORS AND 2 FULL-TIME PSYCHOLOGISTS TO WORK WITH STUDENTS WHO ARE REFERRED, AND ASSESS THEIR NEED FOR SERVICES. SCHOOL COUNSELORS TRAIN STAFF ON BULLYING PREVENTION AND COUNSEL STUDENTS WHO BULLY OR ARE BULLIED. NSD160 CONTRACTS AN ANCILLARY LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL (LMHP) THROUGH ESU6. IT WILL ONLY BE THROUGH THIS GRANT BEING FUNDED THAT CRITICAL SECURITY DEFICITS CAN BE ADDRESSED, DRAMATICALLY INCREASING THE SAFETY CAPACITIES OF NSD160 AND ITS NINE SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES SERVED TO SAFEGUARD THE WELFARE OF ITS CHILDREN. NSDVPP WILL REDUCE RESPONSE TIME TO SECURITY INCIDENTS WHERE SECONDS CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

THE PURPOSE OF THE COPS OFFICE SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM (SVPP) IS TO IMPROVE SECURITY AT SCHOOLS AND ON SCHOOL GROUNDS THROUGH SCHOOL SAFETY PROGRAMS AND TECHNOLOGY. FUNDING UNDER THIS AWARD PROGRAM WILL BE USED BY THE SCHOOL JURISDICTION TO IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE SCHOOL SECURITY AND PROMOTE A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS.

THIS AGREEMENT WILL PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE BOROUGH OF NORRISTOWN, TO INVENTORY, CHARACTERIZE, ASSESS, AND CONDUCT CLEANUP PLANNING AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT RELATED ACTIVITIES FOR BROWNFIELD SITES IN THE NORRISTOWN, PA. THE BOROUGH OF NORRISTOWN'S BROWNFIELDS ARE REAL PROPERTY, THE EXPANSION, DEVELOPMENT OR REUSE OF WHICH MAY BE COMPLICATED BY THE PRESENCE OR POTENTIAL PRESENCE OF A HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, POLLUTANT, OR CONTAMINANTS.
