Executive Summary:
Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance Amendment (SROA) 2019-3 will appropriate a local match of $96,445 for the FY2018-2019 HOME Program project.

In years 2016 and 2017 HUD waived the match requirement for participating jurisdictions impacted by Hurricane Matthew. The 25% match requirement was reinstated for the 2018 fiscal year.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded a HOME program grant in the amount pf $835,404 which was appropriated by Council on October 22, 2018 on SROA 2019-2.
