7.A. - Page 2 For fiscal year 2011 -2012, the City has not yet received confirmation of its annual entitlement amounts for CDBG and HOME, however, the HHCC has recommended funding on the basis of receiving approximately $670,000 in CDBG funds, $362,000 in HOME funds, unallocated prior year program income revenue of $14,000 and an estimated $225,000 of fiscal year 2011 -2012 program income for a total of $1,271,000.00 in federal revenue. If the entitlement is less than the amount estimated, the HHCC will make reductions to these recommendations; and if the entitlement is more than the amount estimated the HHCC may allocate additional funding to programs and activities and the Annual Action Plan will be amended accordingly.
