Office of Community & Economic Development Fiscal Year 2019 Budget Presentation
Office of Community & Economic Development The City of Clarksville is an Entitlement City according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG entitlement program allocates annual grants to larger cities and urban counties to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and opportunities to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The annual grant amount received by the City is determined by a formula administered by HUD. The formula is comprised of several measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas. The broad goal of the CDBG program is to make Clarksville a safe, decent community. Affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization are priorities, while other objectives include public facilities, and public infrastructure. Supportive services for persons who are homeless or at risk of being homeless are also an importance task for the program. The Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds are allocated through the Citizen Advisory Task Force process. The Citizen s Advisory Task Force is appointed by the Mayor and charged with reviewing annual grant applications and making recommendations that are presented to the City Council and Mayor for approval.
