satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.

persons of low and moderate income) and requirements of 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570.
Following a Plan -- It is following a current consolidated plan that has been approved by HUD.

funds, it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities
which benefit low- and moderate -income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of
slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include CDBG-assisted activities which the grantee

because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the
community, and other financial resources are not available (see Optional CDBG Certification).
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds, including Section 108 guaranteed loans,
during program year(s) 2023, 2024, 2025 [a period specified by the grantee of one,
two, or three specific consecutive program years], shall principally benefit persons of low and
moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for
activities that benefit such persons during the designated period.
3. Special Assessments. It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements
assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds, by assessing any
amount against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income,
including any fee charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such
public improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the
capital costs of public improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other
revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
In addition, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate -income (not low-income)
families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public improvements
financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds
to cover the assessment.

jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or

demonstrations within its jurisdiction.
Compliance with Anti -discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and administered in
conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d) and the Fair Housing Act (42
