In 1997, the Board reviewed community human service needs, established criteria for funding, evaluated applications, and arrived at recommendations for the distribution of the City's 1997 allocations of CDBG and general funds for human services. The Board also recommended the targeting and allocation of 1997 CDBG funding for neighborhood improvements to the Lettered Streets and Central Business District neighborhoods. Through the planning process for the 1998-2002 Consolidated Plan of Housing and Community Development, the Board recommended the allocation of CDBG and HOME funds to the City's Housing Development Fund for the retention, rehabilitation and development of affordable housing. Funds were also allocated for the rehabilitation of low and moderate income single family owner occupied homes and for investor owned 1-4 family rental housing units occupied by low or moderate income individuals and families.
