of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This is the 41st year of grant funding and acceptance for these
programs. The CDBG program will be $5,759,812, with $700,000 of that estimated to be in CDBG
Revolving Loan Funds. One of the CDBG program’s national objectives is to meet the needs of low to
moderate income persons in households by working with clients who qualify for home improvement loans,
Meals on Wheels for seniors, for street improvements, and code enforcement. The HOME program will be
$3,372,799, with $2,100,244 being the grant allocation, $472,555 being the grant match through the
general fund, and payback of loans estimated to be returned in the amount of $800,000. The ESG program
will be $330,459, with a focus on ho meless needs, and a required match from in -kind donations or cash
through the shelters themselves. Ms. Spradlin identified five shelters within the County that are funded
through the grants: South Oakland Shelter, Haven, Common Ground Sanctuary, H OPE Hospitality, and
Lighthouse PATH. All of these shelters belong to the Alliance for Housing, the continuum of care group for
Oakland County, and are a ble to direct you where to go, depending on your need.
