RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CDBG EXPENDITURES Hi HIGHEST PRIORITY ACTIVITIES The City's 2005 - 2009 Consolidated Plan identified several high priority activities. During the report period, the City allocated substantial resources to meet these high priority needs (i.e., street and park improvements). Other high priority community needs undertaken during the report period included anti-crime programs, youth services, senior services, and code enforcement. CDBG funds also provided assistance for high priority homeless needs such as transitional housing and homelessness prevention. EXHIBIT 6 provides a summary of 2008-2009 accomplishments that address high priority needs. EXHIBIT 7 CDBG ACTIVITY SUMMARY REPORT (GPR) provides detailed expenditure and accomplishment data. T.
