CORPORATION, AND THE COUNTY OF PUEBLO RELATING TO THE
PARTICIPATION IN AND CONDUCT OF THE FEDERAL HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM AND PROVIDING FOR
THE EXECUTION THEREOF
SUMMARY:
The Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Pueblo and the County of

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council has consistently renewed the HOME Consortium intergovernmental agreement

BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo and Pueblo County, since the inception of the federal HOME
Program in 1992, have operated under a Consortium agreement whereby the HOME
funds have been shared on a percentage basis. While the City of Pueblo is the
Entitlement Community there have been mutual benefits in continuing this
administrative arrangement. The City as the Participating Jurisdiction acts in a
representative capacity, and therefore assumes overall responsibility for ensuring that
y and County programs) is carried out in
compliance with the requirements of the HOME Program regulations, including
requirements concerning a Consolidated Plan. The City assumes this responsibility and
there is no cost to the County.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
By entering into the consortium, the City of Pueblo receives more funding than would
be allocated to it under the Entitlement Community Allocation Formula. The County
receives HOME funding that it would not otherwise be eligible to receive on a non-
competitive basis. The funds are split on an 86/14 basis after set-asides for
administrative costs and funding of Community Housing Development Organizations
