BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the City of Miami's Consolidated Plan goals and objectives of
improving the condition of our residents, the Community Development Department
maintains an ongoing review of the effective use of CDBG funding. There are times
when contracted agencies are unable to use all the allocation of funds entitled to them.
These unexpended funds can be used to address the needs of other agencies or
necessitated situations in the community that may arise. This reallocation will assist in
providing needed summer program activities to low-income District 5 children. The
reallocation of CDBG funds is detailed in the chart below.
