Background:
The State of Florida was allocated over $90 million by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development t(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 benefitting low-to moderate income individuals, addressing slum or blight, or meting 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.
In addition to the DEO funds, the County is providing $92,470.33 in leverage for the project. The funded activities comply with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s limited clientele National Objectives as it will provide shelter for homeless periods.
