2020 CARES ACT Community Development Block Grant CV-1 Application Public H Hearing ng Sarah Hinman Community Services Division Manager Skagit County Public Health

CDBG CV-1 Grants • The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act ) has allocated funds, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to the state CDBG program at Commerce. This CARES CDBG- CV funding will be provided to Commerce in up to three separate funding rounds.

CDBG CV-1 Grants • Commerce is now accepting applications from CDBG nonentitlement (rural) city and county governments for the first round of these CDBG- Coronavirus (CDBG-CV1) funds. • Eligible activities: CDBG-CV1 grants can fund public services (including utility/rent/mortgage subsistence payments) and local microenterprise assistance programs; and public health, emergency response, or temporary housing facilities that address COVID-19 impacts and grant administration. Further information is in the CDBG-CV1 Eligible Activities Guide. • Each applicant/consortium determines how it intends to use the funds while adhering to CDBG guidance and federal requirements. • Timing - The CDBG-CV1 application is due by Sept. 3 . In limited cases, this due date may be extended. • Following the CDBG-CV1 Consortium Guide, if a city does not want its CDBG-CV1 allotment added into the county’s CDBG-CV1 grant, it needs to inform the board of county commissioners (or county administrator) and Commerce as soon as possible, but no later than Aug. 7 or five days after the CDBG-CV1 applicant’s local public hearing.
