HUD’s FY 2001 Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-377) was enacted in October
2000. In December 2000, Congress enacted a Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L.
106-554) which requires an across-the-board rescission of 0.22% (less than one-fourth
of one percent) of all discretionary budget authority enacted for FY 2001. All
HUD programs will be impacted, including the formula allocations for CDBG, HOME,
HOPWA, and ESG.
With a few exceptions, the attached list shows the amounts that will be available
this year. The amounts shown include each jurisdiction’s share of the FY
2001 appropriation, plus their share of the reallocation of any funds recaptured
from prior years. Any metropolitan city that is in joint grant agreements with
an urban county does not appear in the list; their allocation has been added
to the allocation of the parent urban county.
Four grantees have entered into agreements with CPD to repay HOME funds. The
amounts that are to be returned will be deducted from the amounts shown in the
attached list. The grantees are:
Money is being retained from the State of New York’s CDBG allocation for
previous commitments made for the Canal Corridor projects. The amount being
retained is being determined and will be deducted from the allocation amount
shown in the attached list.
There are 5 communities that are getting $1,000 or $2,000 more HOME money after
the rescission reduction than they got before. This occurs because of rounding
allocations to the nearest $1,000. The communities getting a rounding based
HOME increase are: Surry County, NC; Bryan, Wichita Falls, and Brazoria County,
TX; and Kenosha, WI.
Again due to rounding adjustments, the ESG allocations to the states of Delaware
and Rhode Island will be $1,000 higher after the rescission adjustment.
The CDBG allocation for the State of Hawaii is shown as zero in the attached
report. The allocation for the HUD administered small cities program in Hawaii
is distributed among the three counties that participate in the program. These
places and their allocations are shown on the last page of the report along
with the insular areas.
Any questions about the allocation amounts may be directed to Marge Siegel
or Bob Meehan.
We are reworking the allocation files and documentation to reflect the amounts
in the attached table. It will take about a week for Systems Development and
Evaluation Division staff to get this to the Budget Division and from there
it will be sent to the HUD Accounting Division. Please contact your desk offiers
should you have any questions about the status of this effort.
