The public is advised that the City and County of Honolulu may incur preaward costs under the CDBG and HOME programs that will not exceed 25% of the current CDBG and HOME allocations. CDBG and HOME funds will be used to reimburse the City when funds become available, subject to sufficient funding from the HUD. Should funds not be available, the City will cover the costs or future funding for CDBG and HOME projects will be reduced.
In addition, the City has prepared a list of alternate projects for the CDBG program, listed above, that will be funded in the event that selected projects cannot be implemented. The City may permit their funding in the subsequent fiscal year if there are insufficient funds in the current year. For the ESG and HOPWA programs, if excess/unspent funds become available, funds will be reallocated among the agencies listed, provided that the agency is performing satisfactorily and has the ability to expend the funds in a timely manner.
The Final Twenty-Second (22nd) Year Action Plan was submitted to HUD on May 13, 2016. Copies of the Final Twenty-Second (22nd) Year Action Plan projects will be available for public review at the Municipal Reference Center, 558 South King Street, Honolulu, HI or on the City’s website at http://www.honolulu.gov/cms-bfs-menu/site-bfs-sitearticles/23311-federal-grants.html.
