Santa Maria city officials have applied to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for increased federal funding, according to a press release from the city.
The city recently submitted a revised final annual action plan for Fiscal Year 2009-10 under the Community Development Block Grant Program.
According to the report, the city expects to receive almost $1.3 million in Community Development Block Grant funds and $30,000 in program income under its revolving loan fund programs throughout fiscal year 2009-10.
That money will go toward the city’s nonprofit and public facilities improvement program, a residential rehabilitation loan program, and a handful of public service programs.
Copies of the revised plan are available to the public at the Santa Maria City Clerk’s office, 110 E. Cook St.; the Santa Maria Public Library, 421 S. McClelland St.; and the City of Santa Maria Special Projects Division office, 110 E. Cook St., room 2. The report also can be accessed online at the city’s website, ci.santa-maria.ca.us.
For more information, contact the Special Projects Division office at 925-0951, Ext. 118.
