This time period comprises the 2023 Program Year (PY) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The primary objectives of the CDBG program include the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income. In keeping with those objectives, the City has previously funded a variety of public social service activities in support of those objectives. These activities have included such services as those related to youth services, counseling, employment, medical screening and treatment, and programs for the homeless. Also included in this category are programs and services to assist the City in fulfilling its mandate to affirmatively further fair housing choice. All activities, projects and programs must serve low- and moderate-income residents (a moderate income is one that is not more than 80% of the Los Angeles area median, adjusted for family size). Carson qualifies as an entitlement community under the CDBG program due to the proportion of low- and moderate-income persons among its residents. Funding for the CDBG program is made possible by the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and its subsequent amendments and is administered by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). See Exhibit A for detailed Specifications and Scope of Work. Criteria for evaluation will include at a minimum, the qualifications of the firm and key personnel, technical approach, and pricing.
