BACKGROUND 'The County of Orange has solicited funding applications for participation in the Urban County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for fiscal year 1989-90 (Program Year XV). The proposed use of CDBG funds will continue to be affected by requlrements contained In the Federal Housing and Communities Act of 1974, as amended, including the following: 1. The primary objective that must be met for all CDBG Programs is the development of viable urban communltles, including decent housing and a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunity, principally for persons of low and moderate income. 2. Proposed CDBG Programs must give maximum priority to benefiting low and moderate income households and/or in preventing or eliminating slum or blight conditions. The priority test is met only if 51% of total funds provide direct or area benefit to low and moderate income households. . Residential rehabilitation continues to be an eltgtble activity if the structure is occupied by a low or moderate income household with one or more of the following existing conditions: the structure is sub-standard; the structure is in an area designated as slum or blighted; or the rehabilitation is necessary to eliminate a specific condition detrimental to publtc health or safety. The City has designated those areas whtch meet Federal and State definitions of slum and blight. In order to spend funds outside of target areas, there has to be a concentration of low or moderate tncome households. (See attached map of target areas.) 5. 15% of:.:otal grant proceeds may be used for provision of public services subject'to major restrictions on the types of eligible public services.
