Regarding Use of CDBG SSP Funds

The County is expected to apply for CDBG SSP $500,000.00 in FY22 federal CDBG funds from the Arizona Department of Housing. CDBG funds must be used to benefit

low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. A public hearing will be held at 9:00 am on 12/28/21 at 5515 S. Apache Ave Suite 200 to gather citizen input on the use of the potential CDBG SSP funds. The hearing will also be available via ZOOM. Examples of possible uses include the following:

1) Public infrastructure (e.g., water, wastewater, street improvements);

2) Community facilities (e.g., parks, health clinics, libraries, senior or youth centers);

3) Housing (e.g., owner-occupied or multi-family rehab, utility connections on private property, new housing constructed by a non-profit);

4) Public services (e.g., paying the salary of an additional staff person to expand a Head Start program, purchasing a van to transport persons with disabilities, equipment and rent to start a new job training program); and

5) Economic development (e.g., a loan to a business for job creation, micro-enterprise development, acquisition of land for an existing business expansion).
