THE CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) DRAFT STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR 1992.
The City Council of Pueblo, Colorado, proposes the following objectives for use of CDBG
funds in 1992. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living
environment and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate - income persons
through rehabilitation and preservation, economic /job development and public facilities
improvements.
It is estimated that approximately $1,500,000 in CDBG funds will be received by the City
of Pueblo in 1992. It is the intent of the City of Pueblo that approximately 76% of the
program funds would benefit the needs of low- and moderate - income persons. Permanent
involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated. Any
low- and moderate - income housing which is demolished or converted will be replaced in
compliance with the CDBG regulations.
