City CV- $35,865 0 $35,865 Admin Oversight and management of NNRHA’s management of CV Admin Funds and recipients Total $1,741,495 $1,565,616.09 $175,878.91 Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified. The overall goal of the City’s Consolidated Plan for Community Development is to serve very low-, low- and moderate-income persons. The utilization and disbursement of CDBG funds considered the overall goals and priorities below: ● Housing preservation and neighborhood revitalization ● Expansion of economic development ● Homeless intervention and special needs population assistance ● Increasing affordable housing units ● Reduce homelessness ● Enhance youth development and senior services Housing preservation was advanced through the CDBG rehabilitation program known as Residential Repair. During the 2023-2024 program year, the Open House, Emergency Repair and Single-Family Rehabilitation programs were consolidated into a single program known as Residential Repair. This program improves the aging housing stock of income eligible owner-occupants by providing accessibility improvements, HVAC repair, new windows, bathroom conversions, roof replacement and other renovations deemed to be health and safety related up to $25,000 per home. The number of projects completed during PY 2023-2024 fell short of the annual target of 40 with a total of 21 single family homes improved. Approximately $302,234.33 in CDBG funds were expended during PY 2023-2024 to fund the improvements. Neighborhood revitalization was also accomplished by the elimination of old/dilapidated structures deemed unsafe throughout the southeast community. The annual target was five (5). The actual number of structures demolished was four (4) and represents nearly $55,000 in CDBG funds used to remove blight. Economic development for new and existing businesses was available through the continuation of the CDBG funded commercial loan program (called Newport News Urban Development Action Grant loan) available to small businesses who committed to hiring lower-to-moderate income persons. 6
