Background:
Seminole County receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funding as a qualified urban county from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This qualified urban county designation allows the County to be eligible for annual allocations of formula grant entitlement funds, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. HUD requires the County to renew the Urban County Partnership Program every three (3) years, with an automatic three (3) year renewal Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement allows the County to use the participating city's population in the calculation for eligibility for these HUD entitlement funds and allows the County to carry out activities using these funds in their respective jurisdictions.
As a confirmed Urban County Partner, each local unit of government has the option to apply for funds for eligible CDBG activities. The City of Sanford has received its allocation from HUD for CDBG funds since 2010 and is not included in the County’s program.
On June 26, 2018, the Board approved the Urban County Entitlement agreement for the years of 2018 - 2024. The City of Oviedo adopted Resolution No. 4463-24 on May 6, 2024, and approved the funding in the amount not to exceed $33,450 through the Interlocal Agreement under the Urban County Partnership program to refurbish flooring in Fire Stations 46 and 48 to meet ADA compliance standards. This project is acceptable under the national objective for the CDBG Entitlement program.
