Objectives and Outcome Pg. 2 PRIORITIES The County has established the following priorities based upon community input and data available from various studies and plan. The housing needs were expressed by the community, homeless providers and many faith -based organizations as the most important need for persons earning <80% of median income. The need for public facilities to provide healthcare, child/youth care and programs for the seniors was also expressed. In addition, public health and safety and activities to meet legal obligations or federal mandates are also a concern. Activities such as fire, police, and environmental protection are essential to meet public health and safety. In addition, the County must comply with federal mandates (ADA) in order to continue to receive federal funds. All other activities are considered medium priority. The County's CP priorities will be used to allocate CDBG, HOME and/or HTF funds in accordance with project eligibility requirements and program rules. (Higher points will be awarded to project proposals that address high priority activities in accordance with the County's Request for Project Proposal System.) The County's CP priorities will also be used to determine if projects applying for other HUD funds (Super NOFA) are consistent with the County's CP. For the County's CP, high and medium priorities will be considered as consistent with the County's CP. Consolidated Plan HAWAII COUNTY 3 OMB Control No 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/201B)
