The City will ask the grant agency to fund the application under the Urgent Need National Objective. The funds will be used to meet community development needs of recent origin having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. In addition, the grant agency will be asked to waive the limit of $700,000 in CDBG funds that the city is allowed to apply for under Section 73C-23.0041 (b) of the CDBG rule. The limit is also reflected in Table G-1 of the CDBG grant application form. If approved, the waiver will allow the City to receive CDBG funds that exceed $700,000.

Urgent assistance is needed for recovery and rebuilding. The following provides a proposed budget and accomplishments for this project.
