Hill Neighborhood Association (SHNA)</a>, has been approached to
support a CDBG public service proposal in 2020. Would someone in
your office be able to make a short presentation to the EC on
submitting a public service application at their summer meeting next
Monday, August 26? Habitat for Humanity will be presenting on their
CD proposal at the this meeting. Here are the details:<br>
<blockquote>Monday, August 26, 6:00 pm<br>
Fellowship Hall, Christ Covenant Church,<br>
2312 Harvard Rd, Lawrence, KS 66049<br>
</blockquote>
SHNA has not been fully CDBG eligible until this year, so we have no
experience with the process. We will not meet again until early
December.<br>
Thanks again!<br>
Gary Webber, President, SHNA<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Becky - please forward this response to
LAN regarding the CDBG allocation process. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to offer some additional
information regarding the CDBG funding for the program year
2020 (starting 8/1/20) in response to the questions posed to
the LAN list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the dissolution of the Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) as of July 1, and the
movement of the HOME funding recommendations to the Affordable
Housing Advisory Board (AHAB), the CDBG allocation time frame
allows for later processing of applications than in previous
years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications would be released the last
part of November/early December and would be due back to staff
sometime in late January or early February. There will again
be required applicant meetings held within that open
application period. The yet-to-be determined application
review team will then review the applications for completeness
and score the applications based on a funding matrix and City
Commission direction. At the current time, staff does not
foresee the application changing much, if at all. Where you
will see changes will be a focused alignment with the City
Commission’s seven Critical Success Factors of their strategic
plan. As our grant year has not changed, the rest of the
process will mirror the past, including a public comment
period for the allocation recommendations, holding a public
hearing (at an AHAB meeting) in April/May, and final City
Commission adoption of the 2020 Action Plan and Investment
Summary in May/June. All material will be due to HUD no later
than June 15, 2020.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The entire grant allocation process and
final funding decision remains the decision of the City
Commission. They will make the final decision on the
application format, the funding matrix, and the allocation
which is sent to HUD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

Citizen Participation Plan</a>. The updated Citizen
Participation Plan will reflect the new process for allocation
recommendations, the process for citizen input, the required
public hearing information, and the updated grant application
procedures. In addition, there will be a public hearing for
the end of the 2018 program year, which also serves as an
opportunity for public input regarding the upcoming program
year (2020). This hearing will be held on October 14, 2019 at
the AHAB meeting. Staff will make the draft Citizen
Participation Plan available for public comment around the end
of October. This document is not updated yearly, only when
there is a change in the citizen participation process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The City Commission will consider adopting
the updated Citizen Participation Plan on November 19,
2019. In addition to the Citizen Participation Plan, staff
will provide the City Commission with a draft application and
scoring matrix, which will mirror their Critical Success
Factors. Staff will also ask the City Commission for direction
on scoring the applications and their desire for any specific
funding priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>
