BACKGROUND:
The City of Ocala is recognized as a federally entitled community based upon its population and therefore receives an annual allotment of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The funding for Fiscal Year 2023-24 has been awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
HUD has awarded the City of Ocala $496,815 to carry-out programs through CDBG that improve neighborhoods; provide decent, safe, and affordable housing; and create economic opportunities with special focus on serving low-and moderate-income level persons.

CDBG funding will be expended through strategies approved in the 2019-2023 CDBG Consolidated Plan. The funds are governed by HUD guidelines, including encumbrance and expenditure deadlines.

There is an accompanying budget resolution on the consent portion of this agenda.
