CDBG-R Program |
Español
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will be awarding the City of Newburgh a total of $225,632 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. These funds are earmarked to the City as a CDBG entitlement grantee. HUD anticipates these funds to be managed through the CDBG administrative process and the majority of regulations which govern the use of CDBG funds will apply to the use of these additional funds - referred to as "CDBG-R" funds. The City of Newburgh will be utilizing anticipated CDBG-R funds to support the City's Housing Affordability Program. Under this proposed program, the City anticipates carrying out the following activities:
- Sealed Bid Financing Program: The City of Newburgh will be instituting a Sealed Bid Financing Program which will support and target the City's anticipated disposition of In Rem Properties in the fall. Subject to all of the income limitations of the CDBG-R funding program, participating developers will be required to tenant properties with families earning less than 80% of the County AMI and documentation confirming the family income will be required.
- Home Rehabilitation Program: This program would provide forgivable loans or low interest loans to owner occupied applicants.
