CORRECTED NOTICE
The Honorable Nancy Backus
Mayor of Auburn
25 W Main Street
Auburn,WA 98001-4916
Dear Mayor Backus:
I am pleased to inform you of your jurisdiction's Fiscal Year(FY)2020 allocations for the
Office of Community Planning and Development's(CPD) formula programs,which provide
funding for housing,community and economic development activities, and assistance for low-and
moderate-income persons and special needs populations across the country. President Trump
signed Public Law 116-94 on December 20th,2019,which includes FY 2020 funding for these
programs.
Since issuing the original allocation announcement letters, HUD has discovered an error in the
formula calculation for two CPD formula programs,the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG)and the HOME Investment Partnerships(HOME)programs,stemming from issues at
HUD field offices in California which are currently being resolved. HUD informs you that the
correction to the formula has resulted in a decrease in the allocation for your community, an amount
representing 99.98%of your total CDBG grant for FY 2020. Auburn's original CDBG allocation
was $632,034. Your jurisdiction's FY 2020 available allocation is now as follows:
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) $631,937
This letter highlights several important points related to these programs. We remind grantees
that CPD seeks to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide
decent housing and suitable living environments while expanding economic opportunities for low-
and moderate-income and special needs populations, including people living with HIV/AIDS. The
primary means towards this end is the development of partnerships among all levels of government
and the private sector, including both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Based on your jurisdiction's CDBG allocation for this year,you also have$3,160,170 in
available Section 108 borrowing authority. Since Section 108 loans are federally guaranteed,this
program can leverage your jurisdiction's existing CDBG funding to access low-interest, long-term
fmancing to invest in Opportunity Zones or other target areas in your jurisdiction.
HUD continues to emphasize the importance of effective performance measurements in all of
its formula grant programs. Proper reporting in the Integrated Disbursement and Information
System(IDIS)is critical to ensuring grantees are complying with program requirements and

policies,providing demographic and income information about the persons that benefited from a
community's activities, and allowing HUD to monitor grantees. Your ongoing attention to ensuring
complete and accurate reporting of performance measurement data continues to be an invaluable
resource with regard to the impact of these formula grant programs.
The Office of Community Planning and Development is looking forward to working with you
to promote simple steps that will enhance the performance of these critical programs and
successfully meet the challenges that our communities face. If you or any member of your staff have
questions,please contact your local CPD Office Director.
Sincerely,
I
