Background:
The State of Florida was allocated over $90 million by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the CDBG-CV program. Alachua County, like other units of local government participated in a competitive application process to receive CDBG -CV fundings. Programs funded through the CDBG-CV program must meet one of the three “national objectives” established by HUD: primarily benefiting low-to moderate income individuals, addressing slum or blight, or meeting an urgent need within a community.
Alachua County was awarded $4,000,781.84 in CDBG-CV funds to convert a thirty-six-room motel into housing for the homeless. The agreement period: 3/1/2022-9/30/2023.
