$750,000/year in federal Community Development Block Grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (CDBG/HUD) to solve poverty, including:
Rehabilitation and Preservation of Housing
Water and Sewer Improvements
Street Improvements
Economic Development Activities
Creating Jobs for Low and Moderate Income People
Downtown Revitalization
Parks and Recreation Projects
Drainage Improvements
Prior city managers eschewed grants, fearing audits of their works and pomps. It's our money, coming back to us. It is right and just that the City of St. Augustine should have an accountable process to seek and spend federal grants.
Just say yes to Our Federalism!
