CITY STAFFING: Feeding from the HUD chow line??

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For Program Year 2010, Doug requests another staggering percentage of the HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding (50+ PERCENT) to be spent for staff salaries-fringe benefits, travel-training, City vehicle mileage-maintenance, office supplies, telephone, postage-mailing, etc.  According to him, $130,000+ is for Program Administration, $221,000 is for Housing Code program delivery (mostly salaries-fringe benefits), plus $17,000 for Housing Rehabiliation program delivery (mostly salary-fringe benefits).

The above does not take into account additional Program Administration plus so-called Program Delivery expenditures from HUD Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, HUD Neighborhood Stabilization Program - Round One, plus HUD Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) Administrative Fees.  This almost sounds like a Public Employment gimmick?
