THE CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) DRAFT STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR 1993.
The City Council of Pueblo, Colorado, proposes the following objectives for use of CDBG
funds in 1993. 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 1993, along with a program income from Housing Loan paybacks of
approximately $90,000. 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.
