Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
This section describes the methods by which any funds not
				  distributed, disencumbered funds, additional funds received from HUD, and
				  Program Income may be redistributed by the State.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE REDISTRIBUTION OF GRANT
				FUNDS
1. Local Government Grants from the
				State: Local governments receiving grants as a result of the 1993 CDBG program
				but unable to have their projects substantially underway (staff hired,
				environmental review complete, program costs obligated) within six months of
				the grant award, shall have their grant canceled by the State. Unexpended grant
				funds may be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in
				any 1993 CDBG program, or added to the available monies for the 1994
				competition.
Unexpended funds remaining in the grantee's CDBG account at
				  grant closeout, funds remaining in a grantee's award but not drawndown upon
				  grant closeout and funds returned to the State because of disallowed costs may
				  be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in any 1993
				  CDBG program or added to the available monies for the 1994 competition.
2. Unallocated State Grants To
				Local Governments: Unallocated grant funds resulting from lack of adequate
				program competition or demand in the Housing Assistance, Public
				Facilities/Infrastructure, Public Service, Emergency Implementation,
				Development Fund, Regional Assistance, Micro-Loan, Economic Development
				Infrastructure, Phase II Planning, General Purpose Planning, and Comprehensive
				Planning Grant Programs may be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make
				additional awards in any 1993 CDBG program. or added to the available monies
				for the 1994 competition.
3. State
				grants from HUD: Additional HUD financial allocations to the State of Maine may
				be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in any 1993
				CDBG program or added to the available monies for the 1994
				competition.
4. Basis for
				Redistribution: The decision on how to redistribute funds will be made after
				staff evaluation of the following: the total funds available, requests for
				additional funding from current CDBG grantees, any applicants that received
				scares above the 85 point threshold in 1993 competitions but did not receive
				funding and the possibility of holding additional competitions during the 1993
				Program. Additional competitions will be held only as a last resort, and be
				limited to Housing Assistance Grants, Public Facility/Infrastructure Grants and
				the Micro-Loan Program. In all cases, these additional competitions and the
				subsequent programs developed, will be subject to the applicable section(s) of
				this 1993 Final Statement or amendments thereto.
In the case of funds added to open grant(s), redistribution
				  will give priority to grants needing additional CDBG funds in order to complete
				  the activities described in their application to the State and secondly to
				  grants for additional activities which meet the State and local community
				  development objectives. In no case will the total of the original grant award
				  and any redistributed funds to that grant, exceed the maximum grant award for
				  that program as set forth in this Proposed Statement.
All staff recommendations regarding redistribution of funds
				  in the 1993 CDBG program will be subject to approval by the Director of the
				  OCD.
