County of Kauai To All Interested Agencies, Groups & Persons: Notice is hereby given that the Kauai County Housing Agency will hold public informational workshops for those interested in applying for program year 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Public workshops are held for the purpose of dispersing materials and related federal grant information to potential applicants. Public workshops are scheduled for: Date: November 12, 2019 Date: November 14, 2019 Date: November 19, 2019 Materials and information on how to apply for CDBG funding will be available at the public informational workshops. Online applications will be available on November 12, 2019. NO PAPER APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Deadline to submit CDBG applications online is January 10, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. CDBG staff will provide applicants with technical assistance on matters relating to the requirements of the CDBG Program. Technical assistance is available to prospective applicants by contacting Kerri Barros at 241-4435 or email kbarros@kauai.gov. Pursuant to 24 CFR 91, the Kauai County Housing Agency will also receive comments on the upcoming 5-year Consolidated Plan (CP) for program years 2020-2025 and Annual Action Plan (AAP) for program year 2020. The purpose of the CP and the AAP is to ensure that jurisdictions receiving federal assistance, plan for housing and related needs in a way that improves availability and affordability of decent, safe, and sanitary housing and creates economic opportunities for low- to moderate-income families in our community. The CP focuses on three areas of concern: housing, homelessness, and community development. To receive funds made available under certain HUD programs, the County must have a housing strategy and CP that has been approved by HUD. Interested persons are invited to attend the public meetings and provide comments. Written comments may be mailed to 4444 Rice Street, Suite 330, Lihue, HI 96766 or emailed to kbarros@kauai.gov. All comments will be considered in preparing the County’s CP 2020-2025 and AAP 2020. If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, contact Chong at 241-4444 or email csu@kauai.gov as soon as possible, preferably ten (10) days prior to the meeting date. If a response is received after that, we will try to obtain the auxiliary aid/service or accommodation, but we cannot guarantee that the request will be fulfilled. Upon request, this notice is available in alternate formats such as large print, Braille, or electronic copy. By Order of the Mayor (TGI1240843 10/30/19) |
