Date: January 7, 2019
Item: Resolution: Authorize Submittal of 2019 CDBG Budget
Council Action Requested:
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing submittal of the 2019 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget to Dakota County. The estimated
funding of $74,200 would be allocated as follows:
$37,100 – Assessment Abatement
$37,100 – Dakota County CDA Home Improvement Loan Program
Action requires a simple majority of Council.
Background Information:
CDBG funding is intended to fund activities for low and low\moderate income
individuals including affordable housing, anti-poverty, and infrastructure
development. Dakota County receives a direct allocation of CDBG funding
from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and sub-
allocates funding to individual cities within the County.
Assessment Abatement – Similar to past years, a portion of CDBG funding
would be allocated toward providing assessment abatement for local public
infrastructure projects; allowing qualifying homeowners to reduce or eliminate
their assessment. The proposed allocation would be added to remaining funds
from previous years to meet anticipated demand.
Dakota County CDA Home Improvement Loan Program - The CDA
manages the Home Improvement Loan Program to assist low and moderate
income homeowners with making repairs and improvements. The loans are
commonly used for roof replacement, furnace replacement, electrical and
plumbing repairs, insulation, and improvements for special needs such as
ramps, bathroom or kitchen modifications. The loan is repayable when
ownership changes or upon a refinance that takes equity out of the loan; there

are no monthly payments or interest accrual. The average loan is about
$25,000. The CDA has issued 18 loans to Hasting residents since 2013.
Financial Impact:
CDBG funds will assist low to low\moderate income households in abating
assessments and housing repairs.
