The City anticipates receiving a 2021-22 CDBG grant award of approximately $668,918. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the actual amount of funding in March of 2021 and updated it May 2021. Eligible organizations are limited to nonprofits and local government entities. The new program year started on July 1, 2021, and projects must be completed by June 30, 2022.

The Committee made recommendations for award allocations presented to the City Council for the Council’s consideration on April 21, 2021 and approved on May 5, 2021. AAP was submitted to HUD on May 15, 2021. City’s CDBG Allocation Policies and Practices: City Council policy states that 60 percent of awarded CDBG funds will be allocated to City-sponsored projects, and that the remaining 40 percent will go toward community-based organizations (CBO). City-sponsored projects also receive priority ranking over CBO projects. The Lodi Improvement Committee performs scoring for CBO projects only. Furthermore, HUD guidelines limit public services activities to 15 percent of the total grant amount and administrative activities to 20 percent of the total grant amount.

As a result, the City of Lodi received an allocation of approximately $796,408 in additional Community Development Block Grant – COVID Response (CDBG-CV) funds. Funds can be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to Coronavirus impact. Social Services The City of Lodi solicited social services applications for its Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and. Economic Security Act (CARES Act) CDBG (CDBG-CV) program. Eligible organizations are limited to nonprofits and local government entities.
