administration. General Fund allocation will be reduced accordingly.

capital/housing projects cap until an applicant is fully funded. If an applicant reaches the
funding amount requested, any remaining funds will be distributed to other applicants who
have not yet reached the maximum funding amount.
In the ca se of a funding decrease, the following plan is r e commended:
@ Public Services ($47,331): Distribute any funding decrease proportionately among the
remaining public service applicants, but maintain a minimum funding allocation of $15,000 for
any applicant to the extent feasible .
@ Administration ($63,107): Any decrease in funding will be supplemented by the General
Fund for CDBG administration.
