SUMMARY:
This Resolution supports the City of Pensacola’s application to the State’s Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Relief (CDBG-CV) Entitlement Program to address issues related to the impacts of COVID -19.
As part of the $2 trillion CARES Act, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG program was allocated $5 billion. HUD has provided three allocations of CDBG-CV funds to states and entitlement communities. Funds from rounds one and three have been awarded by HUD to the City of Pensacola. DEO has created the CDBG-CV Entitlement Program for the award of round two funds for entitlement communities through its state CDBG program.
The City of Pensacola, as an entitlement community, is eligible to apply for funding to the state CDBG-CV Entitlement Program. If awarded, these funds will be used for the acquisition of a facility to address the needs of the homeless community to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19.
