Questions
CDBG-CV Program
•
The State submitted to HUD a Substantial Amendment to
the State’s Comprehensive Plan to create the CDBG CV
Program (CDBG-CV) which HUD has approved.
•
Division of Energy, Housing and Community
Resources(DEHCR) developed and obtained approval of a
method of distribution of CDBG CV funds.
•
On 8/20/20, HUD published the Federal Register containing
program rules, waivers and regulations as well as program
guidance on eligible activities and national objective
compliance.
Available Funding
•
Round One CDBG CV funding awarded to the State of Wisconsin
totals $16,107,955 and will be distributed to non-entitlement units
of general local government.
•
Round Two CDBG CV funding awarded to the State of Wisconsin
totals $16,970,300. This funding will be made available to
entitlement and non-entitlement units of government. 57% of this
total will be distributed to entitlements while the remaining 43%
will be added to the round one CV funding and be made available
to non-entitlement communities.
•
Round Three CDBG CV funding awarded to the State of Wisconsin totals
$10,919,141. These funds will be made available in non-entitlement
areas of the State. DOA is determining if these funds will be added to
CV1 and CV2 or used to create a renter or homeowner assistance fund.
Available Funding
•
Non-entitlement funding will be distributed within Regions
based on non-entitlement population within the regions.
CDBG Housing Regions are used as the regions. Applications
within each region will compete against the other
applications generated from within their region. If a region
lacks enough applications to utilize all the funds within a
region, the remaining funds will be transferred to meet the
needs of other regions.
•
Entitlement communities will be awarded a set amount of
funds based on the percentage of funding the entitlements
and State Small Cities program received in Round One.
