Good question....Desi Martinez <br />Jul 5 (2 days ago)<br /><br /><br />Good question.<br /><br />The MHWSC should be looking at all possible city, state and federal sources. The City website reads "The primary eligibility requirement for any such activity to be funded is that the project or program principally benefits low and moderate-income persons in designated census tracts. U.S. Dept. of HUD defines low and moderate (LMI) as a household that is at or below 80% of the median income for the area." The 2017 LMI for the Brownsville-Harlingen SMSA is $37,700 for a family of 4 persons. See; http://www.cob.us/DocumentCenter/View/628. The question to be first answered if the area is indeed in the city limits, "Is the area in a CDBG designated LMI program area OR census tract?" I could not find the COB CDBG LMI Program Area Map on the web. The city decides the census tracts. I said "this a possible option that should be looked at". I do not suggest otherwise. Area may not be eligible. However, it should be looked into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016803033174468094.post-79136621178351674342017-07-05T16:11:19.744-05:002017-07-05T16:11:19.744-05:00Desi come on do they really qualify for CDBG fundi...Desi come on do they really qualify for CDBG funding? really or you are just blowing smoke so you can get hired as a consultant like in los fresnos where you didn't do a thing?
