A. APPLICANT City of San Juan Capistrano 32400 Paseo Adelanto San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 B. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION - In November of this past year the City as part of the CDBG/HOME grant application process submitted a number of projects and funding request to the County of Orange for their consideration which included housing rehabilitation funding and youth scholarships. After going through further reviews and competition with other grant requests, the City has been awarded grant funding for housing rehabilitation and disadvantage youth scholarships in the cumulative amount of $207,500.00. As general information grant funding is based upon the merits of the request and are not allocated to City based upon any formulas. As the City Council is aware, the housing rehabilitation grants have been a recurring funding program over many years. A year ago, the City had applied and was granted $7,500 for a scholarship program to help provide access to children of low income families to participate in non -school sponsored recreation and cultural events. These funds were in addition to those that we receive for housing rehabilitation. This year we made a similar grant request and received continued funding for both housing rehabilitation grants and the youth scholarship program. The grant funding is broken down as shown on the following page. FOR CRY COUNCIL AGEN#.,,. J / / AGENDA ITEM -2- September 5, 1995 1. Contract No. EC41807 $100,000 (Housing Rehabilitation) 2.
