PUBLIC NOTICE
Jefferson County, Alabama
Office of Community & Economic Development
Amended Final Statement of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery /(CDBG-DR) Objectives and Projected Use of Funds
CDBG-DR Program Year 2012 Amendment #2 and Program Year 2013 Amendment #1
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that in order to receive funding under the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESG), the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA). Each entitlement city or urban county must prepare a Consolidated Plan. This Plan was prepared in the year 2010. The Plan identifies housing and non-housing needs over a five year period, assigns priorities to each of the needs and a strategy for meeting those needs, and sets out a one year Action Plan establishing funding. The overall goal of the community development programs is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. This Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Action Plan following approval by HUD will become a part of that plan.
The Jefferson County Consortium is made up of the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, Alabama and 30 municipalities within the County. The Cities of Birmingham, Bessemer, County Line, Argo, Sumiton, Helena and Hoover are the only cities in the County not participating in the Consortium. Birmingham, Bessemer and Hoover are entitlement cities themselves. However, due to the nature of the CDBG-DR program, assistance will only be made available to designated areas within the Jefferson County Consortium as described in Section I. Impact and Unmet Needs Assessment. The Final Amended Statement for the CDBG-DR Grants will be developed after receiving citizen comments and views during the 7-day comment period and also at a public hearing to be held on January 26, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the Jefferson County Office of Community & Economic Development 716 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. North, Suite A-420, Birmingham, Alabama, 35203.
