GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION <br />This application handbook provides information and forms to apply for a 2017 Public Services Grant <br />from the state Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. <br />CDBG Public Services Grants are distributed through a regional -based approach with rural counties <br />to ensure all CDBG nonentitlement areas of the state have equitable access to CDBG-funded <br />services. Each of the 17 eligible county grantees has determined to continue to partner with its local <br />community action program as grant subrecipient and service provider for the 2017 funding year. This <br />partnership builds upon the existing community action program network. The CDBG Public Services <br />Grant allocation formula determines the specific grant amounts and was updated to incorporate <br />current population estimates and poverty rates for each regional service area. <br />APPLICATION CHANGES FROM 2016 <br />The application forms have been updated. To ensure your application meets CDBG requirements <br />and to expedite processing, DO NOT use previous application versions. <br />The Environmental Review exemption form has been updated and is required this year. <br />The Quarterly Beneficiary Report has been updated. <br />ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES <br />The county and its subrecipient organization that will provide public services must coordinate to <br />complete this application. <br />FORMS AND REQUIREMENTS <br />COUNTY AND <br />COMMISSIONERS <br />SUBRECIPIENT <br />Submit these application documents and certifications by April 7, 2017 (or earlier). <br />Project Summary <br />Complete with <br />Complete with county <br />subrecipient <br />Project Description and LMI Benefit Table <br />Review for approval of <br />Complete <br />services to be funded <br />Annual Budget <br />Review for approval of <br />Complete <br />proposed use of funds <br />Citizen Participation Documentation form <br />Assess outreach, <br />Share public hearing <br />• Copy of the published public hearing <br />advertise and conduct <br />notice with stakeholders <br />notice or an affidavit of publication <br />public hearing, <br />and attend hearing <br />• Public hearing minutes <br />distributing CDBGhandouts at the hearing <br />• Grievance Procedure <br />Resolution with Certifications of Compliance <br />Complete and adopt <br />Title VI Certification <br />Complete and sign <br />Determination of Exemption (NEPA) <br />Complete and sign <br />Categorical Exemption (SEPA) <br />Application Process Feedback Form <br />Complete with <br />Complete with county <br />subrecipient <br />10 <br />
