WELD COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
Weld County now has the sufficient population to meet the definition of an urban county
under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This means that Weld
County is entitled to an annual formula allocation of CDBG funds in Federal Fiscal Year (FY)
2020 and in each subsequent year. We estimate that the County's FY 2020 CDBG allocation
would be approximately $960,200. A difference in the amount appropriated by Congress for
2020 and other changes that affect the formula distribution of funds will cause the final amount
to differ from this estimate. In recent years, final formula amounts have become available in late
March.
Weld County must provide a written confirmation to the U.S. Dept. of Housing and
Urban Development's Region VIII Office of Community Planning and Development no later
than September 23, 2019 of its intent to accept or defer its entitlement status.
Should Weld County elect to receive these CDBG funds, the county must follow a citizen
participation plan and prepare a Consolidated Plan (Plan) that includes a housing and homeless
needs assessment, housing market analysis, strategic plan, action plan and certifications. The
Plan must be submitted to this office between November 15, 2019 and August 16, 2020.
Please be advised that CDBG Program rules (24 CFR § 570.200(h)) permit a new CDBG
formula grant recipient to receive reimbursement of costs necessary to develop its Consolidated
Plan and undertake other administrative actions necessary to receive its first grant. Such costs
may be reimbursed from Weld County's initial grant, provided that Congress appropriates funds
for FY2020, that the County completes an acceptable and timely Consolidated Plan, and that the
costs meet other applicable requirements.
Please contact Mr. Phillip McKeough, CPD Program Manager, at (303) 672-5064 or e-
mail at Phillip.E.McKeough@hud.gov if you have any additional questions or concerns. We look
forward to building an effective partnership with Weld County.
