Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91, the County of Hawaii’s Office of
Housing and Community Development (OHCD) has developed its draft
2017 Action Plan with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) CDBG Program and is providing affected
citizens an opportunity to examine the proposed plan.
2017 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
The County of Hawai'i estimates that the County’s total 2017
CDBG allocation is $2,500,000.00. This amount is an
approximation and the County will proportionally adjust its
proposed project funding levels by increasing or decreasing the
actual project amounts to the actual funds received. In
addition, the County anticipates receiving $100,000 of
additional program income from the Residential Emergency Repair
Program (RERP) for a total $2,600,000.00 of available CDBG
monies. To meet the County’s five (5) year 2015-2019
Consolidated Plan, Priorities and Objectives, the following
projects will be included in the 2017 Action Plan.

Boys and Girls Club Facility Improvements - Fencing $ 125,000.00
Administration, Planning & Fair Housing $ 450,000.00
Total $2,600,000.00
The CDBG project amount for all projects may change to
accommodate the actual amount of grant funds or program income
received or if there are any cancelled project(s) or
reprogramming of CDBG funds. In its efforts to expedite and
timely implement its projects, the Public is advised that the
County of Hawaii may utilize County funds for the Kulaimano
Elderly Renovation project to incur pre-award cost under the
CDBG program that will not exceed 25% of current CDBG
allocation. This is in accordance with the CDBG regulations 24
