Please read this letter carefully.
It contains important information on dates and processes.
To All Interested Parties:
The City of Fort Collins announces the availability of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program, Affordable Housing Fund (AHF), and Human
Services Program (HSP) monies for its Spring Competitive Process Cycle.
The City allocates funding through a Competitive Process with two funding cycles each year,
one in the Spring and the other in the Fall. The Spring cycle has funding available for public
services, community development activities and housing projects. The Fall cycle has funding
targeted specifically for affordable housing. The preliminary estimated amount of funding
available for this Spring cycle is approximately $2 million dollars for all categories.
In order to facilitate your success in the Competitive Process, staff has scheduled Application
Training Sessions to provide assistance in completing your application
and share information on the most recent HUD regulations and local policy requirements.
Mandatory Application Workshops are on Monday, January 26th, at 215 N. Mason, in the
Community Room (1st floor, North end). The workshop for housing and public facility
applications is from 1 - 2 pm. The training session for public service and non-housing
applications will be held from 2:30 - 4 pm.
In addition, a Technical Assistance Session to review your completed draft application
proposal is required for all applicants. Because of staff time needed to prepare for final
application submittals, no technical assistance can occur after Friday, February 13.
Please make your reservations for both an Application Training Session and for a
Technical Assistance Session by calling Sharon Thomas at (970) 221-6758.
Representation from your agency or firm is mandatory.
Applications are available in hard copy or on disk by calling Sharon Thomas at
970-221-6758. Copies will also be available at the Application Workshop. In addition,
applications are available on our website at: www.fcgov.com/affordablehousing.
Applications must be submitted no later than
Noon, Thursday, February 19, 2009
for consideration in the Spring funding cycle.
Once applications are submitted, City staff reviews them in-depth and completes Project
Summary Comments for each one. This process takes two to three weeks. Applications and
accompanying information are then forwarded to CDBG Commission members so they can
have adequate time for application review. Housing Applications are also submitted to the
Affordable Housing Board for analysis and priority funding rankings. Those rankings are
forwarded to the CDBG Commission and included in City Council’s packet to assist in overall
deliberations.
During this time, applicants will be notified about their scheduled presentation time before
the CDBG Commission on March 31, April 1, or April 2. The CDBG Commission meets
again on April 16, at 281 N. College Ave., Conference Room A, to deliberate its funding
recommendations to City Council. Applicants are welcome to attend the meeting, although
public comments cannot be taken at that time.
Finally, City Council adoption of the Spring 2009 Competitive Process funding allocations is
scheduled for Tuesday evening, May 19, 2009.
Staff is happy to assist you at any time, should you have questions regarding the Competitive
Process or want to discuss your individual application/project. Please know any information
related to your application is always available to you. Advance Planning staff may be reached at:
