C
B
B
First
of
all,
I
want
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
Joe
Hachem
I'm,
the
director
of
the
department
I'd
like
to
introduce
Chris
Club
shark.
He
is
my
coordinator.
He
does
a
great
job.
I
have
had
somebody
who's,
our
rehab
specialist.
We
have
george
joseph
for
us
who
is
one
of
our
rehab
specialists
as
well,
and
we
have
jason
smith.
Who
was
our
planner?
He
helps
us
with
all
these
documents.
So
basically
a
lot
of
credit
to
and
thank
you
Jason
for
all
your
hard
work
in
this
one.
B
I
respectfully
ask
that
you
hold
all
your
questions
till
the
end
of
the
presentation
here
they
set
up
in
three
different
sections,
so
we're
going
to
do
it
three
parts
I'm
gonna,
do
it
the
first
part,
then
Jason's
gonna,
step
in
and
request.
Well
finish
it
up
any
questions
that
you
have.
Please
just
wait
till
the
end,
because
we
might
answer
them
during
the
presentation
itself.
B
First
of
all,
let
me
introduce
what
CDBG
is
in
general.
A
lot
of
people
hear
the
name.
Cdbg
stands
for
Community
Development
Block
Grant.
There
is
a
federally
grant,
it's
a
federal
grant
that
we
receive
on
a
yearly
basis
from
the
federal
government.
We
are
an
entity
of
municipality,
they
received
it
directly
from
the
federal
government,
so
we're
not
a
sub
recipient,
some
other
cities
or
county
or
nut
counties
but
townships
they
receive
it
through
the
county
who
received
it
from
the
federal
government.
B
We
received
our
directly
from
the
federal
government
and
all
of
that
block-grant
falls
under
the
HUD
umbrella.
Basically,
so
we
have
to
follow
all
the
HUD
rules
on
what
have
you?
What
I'm
gonna
do
is
I'm
gonna
open
with
an
opening
statement.
This
particular
public
hearing
is
for
the
public.
Anybody
has
any
questions.
Please
don't
be
shy
to
ask
any
questions,
but
wait
for
till
the
end.
B
What
we're
gonna
do
today
is
basically
we're.
Gonna,
summarize
all
the
proposals
we
have
received
to
our
department
for
public
funding
for
fiscal
year,
2018
and
2019
of
the
draft
basic
I'm.
Looking
at
page
1,
the
action
plan
draft
in
this
is
with
coordination
with
the
mayor,
City
Council,
public
review
and
comment.
So
we
will
take
comments
of
public
importance,
I'm
skipping
over
to
page
number
3,
which
says
annual
action
plan.
B
The
city
annual
one-year
plan
describes
specifically
how
federal
funded
funds
will
be
spent
over
the
course
of
the
upcoming
program
here,
which
is
fiscal
year.
2018
2019
at
this
point,
I
want
to
take
a
break
and
I
wanna.
Let
Jason
take
over
who's.
Gonna
go
through
the
specific
line
items
and
it's
gonna
start
with
our
program.
D
Council,
thank
you
for
having
us
today.
Members
of
the
public
welcome
I'm
gonna
go
over.
What
really
are
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
community
evelopment
Block
Grant
Program,
the
it
is
director
Hashim
mentioned.
This
is
funded
through
HUD.
We
do
have
to
follow
HUD
regulation
and
in
awarding
projects
and
implementing
projects
and
also
there's
regulation
along
the
way
and
in
implementing
those
projects.
Today
is
our
first
public
hearing
to
guide
us
and
help
us
make
decisions
on
how
we're
going
to
fund
2018
projects
through
our
annual
action
plan.
D
The
projects
that
we
select
that
ultimately
are
adopted
by
the
City
Council,
usually
in
late
April
early
May,
are
geared
to
accomplish
the
goals
that
we've
identified
in
our
five-year
plan.
Our
five-year
plan
covers
the
2016
2020
program
years,
so
right
now
we're
in
year
I
guess
it
would
be
year.
Three
of
our
current
five-year
plan.
D
To
give
you
an
idea
of
the
allocation
that's
received
annually
by
the
city
for
2018,
it's
estimated
that
the
CD
biologic
allocation
will
be
somewhere
around
the
nine
hundred
and
twenty-two
thousand
dollar
amount.
Now
that's
that's
similar
to
what
was
received
last
year.
So
we
go
through
our
planning
process
here
in
early
2018.
D
That's
the
number
we
usually
use
as
our
as
our
planning
number,
when
we
generally
find
out
our
final
number
closer
into
the
summer
and
that's
when
we
can
really
nail
down
the
exact
dollar
amounts
that
each
project
will
receive,
but
we
do
have
to
do
our
planning
with
an
estimated
number.
So
our
number
for
2018
is
nine
hundred
and
twenty-two
thousand
dollars.
D
Now
that's
the
number
that's
received
directly
from
HUD
there
is.
There
are
other
resources
that
are
available
throughout
the
program
here
and
I'm
on
page
5
of
your
presentation.
Here
we
call
it
program
income.
One
of
the
programs
were
projects,
that's
implemented
on
an
annual
basis
through
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
program
is
a
housing
rehabilitation
program
and
that's
a
program.
That's
elet
that
low
and
moderate
income
households
are
eligible
for
rehabilitation
assistance
on
their
homes.
Those
are
deferred
loans
that
are
given
zero.
D
Zero
percent
deferred
loans
that
are
given
to
those
individuals
and
those
loans
do
get
paid
off
at
the
time
of
sale
of
the
home.
The
program
income
currently
that
we're
allocating
for
this
year's
budget
is
thirty,
two
thousand
one
hundred
and
ten
dollars.
So
you
take
our
nine
hundred
and
twenty-two
thousand
dollars,
that's
directly
receive
from
HUD,
plus
the
thirty
two
thousand
one
hundred
and
ten
dollars
that's
been
received
thus
far
through
program
income.
D
You
add
those
together
that
gives
us
a
portion
of
our
budget
that
we're
working
with
now,
there's
a
few
things
to
consider.
When
we're
making
our
funding
decisions,
there
are
caps
that
HUD
has
put
on
on
these
dollar
amounts.
There
are
two
caps
we
have
to
abide
by.
The
first
cap
is
a
public
service
cap,
so
we're
only
allowed
to
use
15%
of
our
allocation
for
public
service
activities
and
what
our
public
service
activities.
D
They
are
generally
social
service
type
programs
that
assist
individuals
just
counseling
for
those
with
substance
abuse
programs
for
seniors
programs
for
those
who
have
disabilities.
Those
types
of
those
types
of
activities
are
generally
considered
public
service
activities
and
again
we're
only
allowed
to
use
15%
of
our
allocation
towards
those
types
of
projects.
The
second
at
the
second
cap
that
I've
mentioned
is
the
administrative
cap.
D
The
final
component
of
our
of
our
total
budget
for
2018
is
our
reprogramme
funds
and
those
are
funds
that
carryover
from
previous
years.
Maybe
a
project
came
under
budget
or
a
project
got
cancelled
in
previous
years
and
that
money
can
carry
over
into
the
next
year.
We
have
a
37
thousand
dollar
amount
programmed
in
there
as
reprogramming
funds,
giving
us
a
total
of
1
million
90
1545
dollars
for
the
fiscal
year.
2018.
D
Some
on
page
7
of
the
presentation
now
one
important
thing
related
to
this
Community
Development
Block
program-
is
we're.
Making
decisions
on
what
which
projects
to
fund
annually
are
the
HUD
national
objectives.
Each
project
that
we
fund
is
required
to
meet
a
HUD
national
objective
and
those
are
for
different
national
objectives.
One
being
a
project
has
to
benefit
a
low
and
moderate
income
person
based
on
limited
clientele,
so
an
individual
or
a
household
that
is
below
the
the
federal
threshold
to
be
considered
low
and
moderate-income
second,
is
to
benefit
a
low
and
moderate
income
area.
D
So,
as
you
look
at
your
map,
you'll
see
that
the
blueish,
the
bluish
areas
throughout
the
city,
based
on
census,
data
and
HUD
data,
that's
been
provided.
Those
areas
are
considered
to
be
low
and
moderate-income,
so
those
are
activities
that
benefit
the
area.
So
a
sidewalk
project,
a
watermain
project.
Those
types
of
activities
that
benefit
a
large
area
park
act
a
park
project
that
would
benefit
the
whole
neighborhood.
D
We
ensure
that
those
projects
are
completed
within
the
low
and
moderate
income
areas
its
thirdly
low
and
moderate
income
people
based
on
household
income,
so
this
is
a
based
on
their
income
threshold
and
finally,
to
prevent,
eliminate
slum
or
blight.
So
that's
when
you
designate
an
area
of
your
municipality
as
a
slum
blight
designation,
maybe
there's
been
some
deterioration
throughout
the
years,
whether
it
be
a
commercial
area
residential
area
and
you
can
determine
if
it
meets
a
state
definition
for
slum
or
blight.
That's
the
national
objective
you'd
be
able
to
utilize
to
fund
an
activity.
D
D
So
page
10
of
the
presentation
so
I've
talked
to
you
about
a
low
and
moderate-income.
We've
said
that
I've
said
that
many
times
to
you
and
the
question
might
be
well.
What
does
that
mean?
What
is
low
and
moderate-income?
So
what
we've
done
here
is
we've
pulled
together
the
HUD
household
income
limits
for
2018
to
give
you
an
idea
what
we
mean
by
low
and
moderate-income,
based
on
income
for
the
city
of
different
heights.
Now
these
numbers
are
updated
annually.
D
The
last
update
was
done
in
March
of
2017.
We
would
anticipate
within
the
next
couple
months
that
new
numbers
would
would
be
available,
but
they
generally
fluctuate
just
by
a
few
hundred
dollars
from
year
to
year.
So
this
will
give
you
a
good
idea.
So
low
and
moderate
income
is
defined
by
being
making
eighty
percent
or
less
of
the
area
median
income.
So
you
see
here
we
have
eight
different
household
sizes.
So,
depending
on
your
household
size,
your
threshold
for
being
low
and
moderate-income
is
different.
So
I'll
use
a
four-person
household
as
an
example.
D
So
if
you
have
a
four
person
household,
you
have
mom
dad
and
two
children.
The
low
and
moderate-income
threshold
is
fifty
four
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
a
year.
So
if
you
make
that
amount
or
less,
you
would
be
considered
low
and
moderate-income
household
and
it
fluctuates
depending
on
your
household
side
as
I
mentioned
household
size
as
I
mentioned.
D
So
when
we're
making
decisions
on
what
which
activities
to
fund
on
an
annual
basis.
These
are
the
types
of
individuals
that
these
funds
are
supposed
to
benefit.
According
to
the
HUD
regulations
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Chris.
Now
to
talk
about
what
some
of
the
program
proposals
that
have
been
received
for
the
2018
year.
E
Now
we
get
kind
of
the
core
of
our
public
meeting
this
evening
and
that
is
to
present
the
proposals
that
we
have
received
during
our
proposal
process,
which
the
deadline
ended
on
January
11.
So
we
did
receive
some
proposals,
we're
going
to
share
those
with
you
tonight,
and
these
are
not
like
a
written
in
stone
budget.
They
are
merely
just
the
proposals
as
presented
that
we
had
got
from
different
city
departments,
internal
proposals
and
outside
agencies.
E
First,
as
Jason
explained
with
our
camper
20%
admin,
that
would
be
part
of
our
proposed
budget,
which
would
be
two
hundred
and
four
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty
seven
dollars,
and
that
is
the
20%
cap
that
Jason
was
talking
about.
So
that
would
be
our
proposed
allowance
for
our
admin
number
for
the
upcoming
year.
E
We
did
have
some
public
improvement
projects
that
were
proposed,
our
normal
residential
rehabilitation
program
at
three
hundred
thousand,
a
water
main
replacement
project
in
a
low
mod
area
at
275
thousand
code
enforcement
at
seventy-five
thousand,
a
proposal
from
Vista
Maria
for
facility
improvements
at
46
thousand
and
improvements
at
the
Berwyn
Senior
Center
at
twenty
thousand.
So
our
total
proposed
public
improvement
projects
would
be
seven
hundred
sixteen
thousand
and
I'm.
E
On
page
moving
on
to
page
14
in
the
presentation,
if
you're
following
along
as
Jason
mentioned,
we
have
public
service
programs
and
the
15%
cap,
we're
looking
at
an
allowance
currently
based
on
estimated
figures
at
a
hundred
forty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars,
and
that
would
be
our
allowance.
That's
the
PI!
If
you
will
that
we
have
to
share
or
split
up
the
two
certain
public
service
projects
that
we're
considering
in
the
budget
and
our
proposals
for
public
service
programs
for
the
upcoming
year
are
on
page
15.
E
That
would
be
our
senior
services,
which
are
Berwyn
an
Eaton
Center
mainly
of
services
for
seniors,
95,000
crime
prevention,
50,000
through
the
police
department,
the
fair
housing
center
of
Metro
Detroit
6000
la
HC,
which
is
a
nonprofit
that
submitted
a
proposal
I
believe
they
help
with
substance,
abuse
and
other
social
service.
It's
like
an
agency
75,000
the
lenin's
center
here
in
Dearborn
Heights,
22,000
$850,
the
Salvation
Army
8,500,
and
a
proposal
to
supply
Knox
boxes
to
eligible
individuals
here
in
the
city.
E
Those
are
the
boxes
that
contain
keys
to
your
home
that
are
in
a
locked
box
and
the
fire
and
police
have
access
to
that.
So
they
can
enter
your
home
in
the
case
of
an
emergency
and
not
damage
your
property
and
have
to
do
that.
So
that
was
a
proposal
for
$8,700.
So
we
have
a
total
proposed
of
two
hundred
forty
six
thousand
fifty
and,
as
you
can
see,
our
15%
capped
amount
is
a
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
181.
E
So
you
can
see
our
proposals
exceed
our
amount
of
funding,
so
that
will
be
our
next
process
of
determining
how
to
share
that
pie
and
split
those
up
and
be
within
our
budget
caps.
So
a
summary
of
our
program
proposals
this
evening.
We
have
our
planning
and
admin
at
two
hundred
and
four
thousand
the
public
improvement
projects
at
seven
hundred.
Sixteen
thousand
the
public
services
programs
at
two
hundred
forty
six
thousand
so
total
proposed
is
1
million
166
and
are
estimated
available.
Funding
is
1
million
91.
E
So,
as
you
can
see,
our
proposals
exceeded
our
funding
and
now
our
challenges
is
to
create
a
budget
that
fits
within
our
caps.
In
our
proposals,
so
that'll
be
our
next
process
and
thank
you
for
attending
this
evening.
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
Joe
and
he'll
finish
up
with
some
facts
and
figures
and
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
Thank
you,
Chris.
Thank
you
and.
B
Chris
and
I
said
together
last
week
and
basically,
we
decided
to
put
the
sheet
together.
This
was
never
included
before
in
the
package
that
the
Community
Development
has
submitted.
Basically,
it's
an
aggregation
for
them
as
five
years
of
money
spent
and
on
what
it
was
spent
and
how
many
people
benefit
from
this
particular
thing.
So,
basically,
we
took
every
year
and
we
added
them
all
up
to
come
up
to
2017
and
we're
not
over
with
2000
2017.
B
Yet
so,
if
you
look
basically
at
the
numbers,
we
have
spent
about
a
million
and
a
half
on
residential
rehab,
that's
55
persons,
which
cannot
equate
55
houses
and
obviously,
there's
more
a
lot
of
times
more
than
one
person
per
house.
The
water
main
replacement,
the
our
Community
Development
has
spent
a
million
and
twenty-five
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
and
that
particular
property
cooler
project
have
benefited
directly.
Ten
thousand
two
hundred
and
ninety
seven
people
code
enforcement.
B
We
have
given
them,
they
have
received
five
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
over
the
last
five
years
and
that
benefit
forty-four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
eight
persons
senior
services.
Four
hundred
and
ninety
one
thousand
eight.
Oh
three
benefit
thirty-nine
thousand
four
hundred
and
eleven
and
crime
prevention,
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
that
equated
to
sixty
nine
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
one.
B
Basically,
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
with
Community
and
Development
Block
Grant
for
the
last
five
years
has
helped
with
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
one
thousand
dollars
of
federal,
funded
money
and
have
helped
approximately
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
people
in
the
great
city
of
Dearborn,
Heights.
I
think
this
is
the
end
of
our
presentation,
but
before
I'm
done,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
administration
for
all
their
support,
they
have
given
up
throughout
the
year
like
to
thank
you
for
his
communication.
B
Also
thank
the
City
Council
I'd
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
public
who
have
come
over
and
listen
to
us.
This
will
be
broadcasted
we'd,
like
your
feedback.
Telephone
number
is
three
one.
Three,
seven,
nine
one,
three:
five:
zero
zero!
Please
call
if
you
have
any
questions
or
any
concerns
at
this
point,
I
like
to
ask
Jason
and
to
join
you
here.
If
anybody
has
any
questions.
C
B
A
bad
match
we
have
to
balance
that
out
eventually.
Well,
we
are
going
to
do
go
on
starting
next
week
as
we
start
vetting
the
projects
that
we
have
been
that
have
been
given
to
us.
We
go
through
the
vetting
process
and
then
basically
based
on
a
risk
assessment
scale.
We
decide
who
to
give
the
money
to
so
it
is
not
basically
I
like
this
agency
or
not
like
that
agency.
There
is
a
scale
that
we
follow
and
that's
in
our.
B
And
the
procedural
manual,
so
it's
there,
we
follow
that
and
that's
how
we
have
to
balance
our
budget,
so
what
we
have
received
as
requested
amount.
It's
not
the
amount
that
we
are
going
to
give
out
that
because
we
have
to
balance
about
it.
We
have
more
requests
that
we
have
money
available
at
this
point.
C
B
You
have
to
buy
a
lot,
we
have
to
meet
certain
criteria
for
HUD,
so
if
we
have
to
spend
certain
amount
of
money
a
year
and
if
you
don't
meet
that
we
get
our
first
year,
we
get
a
slap
on
my
hand
the
second
year,
but
they'll
take
our
money
away.
Last
year
it
was
my
first
year
as
the
director
we
did
meet
our
numbers,
and
you
know
thanks
to
the
staff
and
myself
and
administration
as
well.
You
know
they
all
helped
us
and
all
the
head
of
the
departments
as
well.
G
B
The
next
meeting
you'll
get
heads
up
on
this.
One
I
mean
we
will
provide
these
documents,
for
you,
I
believe
ahead
of
time
yeah,
so
you
will
have
a
chance
to
read
it
because
we
will
eventually
need
your
vote
on
this.
So
this
one
is
a
public
hearing,
I
believe
the
next
one
is
also
a
public
hearing,
but
for
the
final
one
you
will
be
involved
in
the
process.
You.
C
B
H
Two
questions
for
you
director.
First
question:
any
of
these
that
are
actually
loans.
Loans
are
loans,
other
ones
are
two
residents
specifically
correct,
which
one's
the
homes
Salomon?
That's
our
actual
law
is
the
ones
with
you
give
somebody
money
for
rehabbing
a
home
right
beyond
there.
Everything
else
is
just
a
grant
right.
Yes,
there's
not
not
expected
to
be
paid
back
in
the
second
question.
As
far
as
I
know,
it's
a
no
but
I
just
want
verify.
None
of
the
money
comes
directly
from
the
city
itself.
Does
it
none
of
this?
B
E
B
F
It
was
Richard,
Nixon
was
it
and-
and
he
came
up
with
a
block
grant
program
and
that
program
was
established,
means
to
be
a
multitude
I,
say
fifty
hundred
different
programs
and
he
combined
them
all,
and
this
is
basically
a
housing
program.
The
other
thing
you
should
be
aware
of
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
they
think
I'm
correct
that
when
we
provide
a
loan
to
someone
and
they're
paying
it
back
or
in
many
cases
they
don't
pay
it
back
after
death
and
then
and
then
before
the
home
is
sold.
F
B
That's
what
we
call
program
income
and
after
the
downturn
every
time
in
2008,
we
were
not
getting
any
money
back,
but
from
talking
to
Chris
and
Jason
back
in
2012
2011
2013,
we
started
getting
chunk
of
this
money
back
as
the
house
has
been
sold
or
anything.
If
anybody
decides
to
leave
that
house,
we
have
a
lien
on
that
particular
house.
They
have
to
pay
us
the
money
back
and
how
it
requires
us
to
spend
that
money
first.
So
it's
like
a
fight
for
first
and
for
us
out-
and
you
are
very
right,
mr.
H
So
what
about
an
event
that
there
is
because,
when
there's
a
lien
on
the
property
somebody's
refinancing,
do
they
have
to
pay
it
off?
Also,
if
I'm,
if
I,
have
a
loan
on
this
and
I'm
keeping
my
home
but
I'm
just
refinancing
it
for
a
better
interest
rate
with
the
mortgage
company?
In
that
case,
and
let's
say
I'm,
you
know
max,
how
long
have
you
it
had
to
be
paid
off?
I
presume
is
that
correct,
councilman.
B
B
B
E
B
To
give
you
an
idea,
councilman,
we
we
are
receiving
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
give
or
take
a
year
in
program
income.
We
did
that
last
year,
I
think,
and
we
project
it
for
next
year
of
next
fiscal
year
that
we
will
get
a
hundred
thousand.
In
fact,
last
year
we
got
a
little
over
a
hundred
thousand.
F
B
G
B
Have
not
even
opened
those
package
to
be
very
honest
with
okay.
Our
first
stop
is
to
basically
do
the
public
hearing.
Our
next
step
is
to
basically
start
vetting
those
programs,
and
then
we
open
these
packages.
We'll
look
at
the
financials.
We
look
at
the
history.
I
know
that
I
have
received
few
phone
calls
from
some
of
our
sub
recipients.
Sub
recipients.
Time
is
not
City
entities
as
city
departments,
and
they
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
words
about
the
history
and
I
said
by
all
means.
I
B
First
criteria
is
to
meet
the
income
approach
that
we
have
that
Jason
or
Chris
talked
about.
If
there's
so
many
people
living
in
the
house
and
you
fall
within
that
range
of
income,
you
can
qualify,
you
would
come
to
our
department
and
we
will
give
you
a
package
there.
Pretty
much
spells
around
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
whole
application
process,
but
it's
very
spelled
out
on
our
website
and
we
have
available
packages
that
you
can
come
by
to
our
Center
pick.
It
up
fill
it
out,
bring
it
back.
B
B
Up
is
to
either
call
our
office
go
to
the
website
or
come
to
our
office
pick
up
an
application.
We
do
advertise
for
this
I
think
we
have
done
it
in
two
different
places:
the
turbine
pressing
guide.
We
have
done
that
and
we
did
it
in
Arab
American
news
just
for
because
we
have
an
Arabic
or
Lebanese
community
here
so
and
we
sent
it
at
one
time
in
the
water
bill
as
well.
So
we
are
looking
to
spend
this
money.
B
This
money,
we
don't
want
to
keep
our
objective-
is
to
help
this
citizen
citizens
of
the
great
city
of
the
urban
Heights
fix
your
houses,
fix
the
roofs,
get
out
more
efficient
windows,
more
efficient
heat
air
conditions
on
what
have
you
that's?
What
this
money
is
is
for
it's
not
for
us
to
put
in
the
bank
we're
not
allowed
to
an
interest
island
by
the
way.
Thank.
E
You
so
much
you
know:
I
was
speaking
specifically
for
the
rehab
program
or
in
general,
for
people
to
acquire
the
money
to
be
a
sub
recipient
would
have
to
be
like
a
nonprofit
entity,
but
individual
homeowners
can
apply
for
the
residential
rehab
program.
Was
that
when
you
were
asking
about
them
over
analytically
or
in
general,
as
it's.
I
B
I
B
E
G
D
Can
give
you
the
the
quick
version,
because
there
there's
a
pretty
detailed
formula
that
they
use
and
it's
based
on
your
population?
It's
based
on
your
poverty
level,
a
number
of
households
in
actually
I.
Looked
this
up
one
time
what
the
formula
looked
like
and
it
looked
like
this
long
algebra
equation,
but
the
bottom
line
is
it's
based
on
your
population
and
the
need
in
your
community,
so
they
take
into
account
the
the
income
levels
on
the
poverty
rate.
D
So,
as
your
population
goes
down,
you
may
see
funding
levels
decrease
as
your
population
goes
up
or
if
the
need
for
funding
goes
up,
you
may
see
that
that
number
go
go
higher.
The
goal
would
get.
This
would
be
to
get
to
zero,
might
tell
people
that,
because
you
know
your
goal
isn't
to
get
more
CDBG
money
than
your
voules
to
get
to
zero,
that
you
don't
have
any
low
and
moderate
income
areas
or
communities.
D
So
so
that's
that's
in
general,
the
the
criteria
and
they
use
census
data
from
the
you
know
the
every
ten
years
they
would.
They
would
calculate
that.
But
now
the
formula
is
done
annually
based
on
the
American
Community
Survey,
because
the
census
data
is
being
constantly
collected
now
opposed
to
every
ten
years
like
it
used
to
be
done.
So
so
that's
that's
pretty
much
the
the
basics
for
probably.
F
Get
one
thing
because
if
you
talk
to
neighboring
communities,
we
are
large
enough
population
wise
that
we're
a
direct
recipients.
There
are
other
communities
like
I,
think
Lincoln,
Park,
River
Rouge,
and
some
of
these
perfect
things
I'm,
not
sure
that
has
to
go
through
Wayne
County
in
an
allocation
process
so
like.
Where
were
sitting
here,
and
we
make
the
decision.
If
we
were
Lincoln
Park,
we
would
not
have
the
ability
to
determine
what
is
going
to
be
in
that
grant,
specifically
because
it
goes
into
the
bigger
grant.
F
What
Wayne,
County
and
the
reason
I'm
I
became.
Aware
of
this
is
the
last
two
years.
A
lot
of
these
local
communities
have
been
very
upset
because
Wayne
County
has
carved
out
some
of
these
monies
and
said
we're
gonna,
take
10%
for
administration,
we're
gonna
dictate
that
you're
gonna
spend
five
percent
on
this
and
it's
been
an
adjutant
with
these
smaller
communities.
I
mentioned
it
to
in
case
you
talked
to
some
of
the
other
West
Landsat
direct
recipient
Dearborn
is
lavanya's
we're
in
that
same
category.
B
She
said
some
one
of
the
committees:
basically,
they
rely
on
Oakland
County,
who
dispersed
that
money
and
some
of
them
get
like
$2,500
a
city.
Then
we're
talking
about
the
city.
They
get
$2,500
$5,500,
because
Oakland
County
is
the
decider,
so
they're,
not
a
direct
recipient
and
I.
Think
that's
what
I
started
my
presentation
with.
So
we
are
a
direct
recipient
because
of
the
population
and
because
we
keep
up
with
all
the
requirements
and
all
the
rules
that
HUD
requires.
Do
we
submit
an
application?
B
Absolutely.
This
is
part
of
the
application.
Actually
we
start
with
first
public
hearing.
We
do
a
second
public
hearing
and
then
we
bring
it
back
to
the
City
Council
and
the
administration
for
approval,
and
then
we
submit
it
to
her.
But
throughout
the
year
we
have
numbers
that
we
monitor
and
we
are
direct
contact
with
heart
and
basically
I
want
to
say
weekly
or,
if
not
twice
or
three
times
a
week.
I
think.
F
The
other
thing
in
general,
because
there's
a
lot
of
individuals
here
you
have
some
really
good
programs.
It
becomes
very
difficult
on
that.
One
page
we
got
to
cut
like
I,
think
it's
90
or
$100,000,
and
it's
extremely
difficult,
because
when
you
listen
and
hear
the
proposals,
it
really
hurts
us
as
individuals,
they
have
to
say
gee.
We
can't
fund
this
particular
one.
F
It's
not
talked
about
near
Van
Horn
and
they
really
do
a
great
job
that
their
food
pantry
and
while
we
would
like
to
support
them,
we've
had
difficulties,
but
I
can't
I
have
actually
witnessed
and
the
way
that
they
operate
and
the
number
of
people
they
help
is
significant
and
I.
Don't
know,
didn't
look
like
they
put
in
a
request
this
year.
But
those
are
the
kind
of
things
when
you
see
it.
When
you
see
them,
you
really
wish
we
had
an
extra
million
dollars
to
fund
all
these
particular
programs.
We.
B
B
Basically,
well,
we
went
to
a
seminar
where
we
had
a
representative
from
Washington
DC
and
they
told
us
that
they're
hoping
that
everything
going
forward
will
be
the
status-quo
2017.
The
money
that
we
are
spending
right
now
was
not
supposed
to
be
there,
because
the
president
wanted
to
eliminate
the
whole
thing
you
want
to
zero
it
out,
not
reduce
it,
and
eventually
they
reached
an
agreement.
B
We'll
keep
the
status
quo
and
the
representative
that
came
from
Washington
I
forgot
her
name
and
all
that's
okay,
but
she
did
say
that
they're,
hoping
that
the
next
fiscal
year
will
be
actually
the
same
as
this
year
stands
for.
Basically,
it's
something
between
the
Democrats
and
the
Republicans,
and
eventually
they
just
settle
in
a
status
ball.
She.
