INVALID APPLICATIONS <br />Applications may be rejected without evaluation. Reasons may include: <br />1. Project clearly not eligible according to CDBG/HOME regulations; <br />2. Applicant has demonstrated poor past performance in carrying out government-funded <br />projects, or complying with federal regulations; <br />3. Applicant fails to provide financial audit or other required information; and <br />4. Incomplete applications, e.g. incomplete or missing sections. <br />PROJECT EVALUATION & FUNDS ALLOCATION <br />CDBG applications will be reviewed by Town of Chapel Hill staff and the recommendation for funding <br />will be approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council. HOME applications will be reviewed by the HOME <br />Program Review Committee consisting of an elected official and staff person from each participating <br />jurisdiction, and approved by the governing bodies of Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and <br />Hillsborough. Applications for both programs will be evaluated based on how well the proposed <br />projects fulfill the priorities in the 5-Year Consolidated Plan (see Attachment 3), whether they meet one <br />or more of the three National Objectives (CDBG only), the quality of the proposal, and the capacity of <br />the agency. In addition, the Town and County will seek citizen input through public hearings. See <br />Attachment 4 for a tentative schedule for development of the Community Development and HOME <br />Program plans. <br />Applicants should understand that this is a competitive application process for limited funding. There <br />may be applications for projects that satisfy many of the evaluation criteria but are not funded. <br />Successful applications may be funded for less than the amount requested. <br />Please be as accurate as possible in your application. If funds are awarded, information submitted in this <br />application will be used to develop a Performance Agreement for your project. Please notify staff of any <br />changes to your proposed project as soon as possible. <br />Do not submit this page <br />
