Additionally, approximately $6,000 is being reprogrammed for total available funds of $331,000 for the program year.

It is expected that 15% of the grant amount will be allocated for public services (i.e. homeless services and shelter, domestic violence victim services, senior care, youth programs, etc.), 20% for eligible administrative expenses, and the majority of the funding (approximately 65%) for housing rehabilitation, accessibility improvements, and public facility improvements.
