RE: 2012-2015 Community Services B ock Grant Application
and Plan between the Weld County Department of Human
Services and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs
Enclosed for Board approval is the 2012-2015 Community Services Block Grant Application and
Plan between the Department and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. This Grant
Application and Plan was reviewed at the Board's January 18, 2012, Work Session and approved
at the Board's January 23, 2012, Board meeting.
The purpose of presenting the Grant application again is to meet the new standards of the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs in advertising and holding a public meeting when
presenting the Community Services Block Grant Plan. The original Plan, as presented in the
January 23, 2012, Board meeting, remains the same.
The Department is.requesting $290,912 per year for the next three years for a total of$872,736.
In addition, the Department is requesting to roll over $80,000 from the current year that ends on
February 29, 2012, to the next CSBG fiscal year. These funds have to be spent by September 30,
2012, or the funds will be remitted back to the federal government.
This Plan was an annual plan; however, now the Colorado Department of Local Affairs has
simplified it and made it a three year plan that can be amended in the future, as needed.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at extension 6510.
