These funds have been used for a diverse range of programs <br />including housing, street improvements, parks and public facilities improvements, social services, <br />historic preservation and community services. It is important to note that as of the date this <br />document was prepared, HUD has not notified the City of the actual amount of funds it will receive <br />for the aforementioned grants. For planning purposes, the City is estimating that the City's <br />entitlement for fiscal year 2010 -2011 will be $7,375,000; An adjustment based on the final 2010- <br />2011 grant amount will be necessary when HUD publishes final numbers. The Public Facility <br />Improvements category will be adjusted to reflect any difference between the City's estimate and <br />the final grant amount. The funding allows for no more than fifteen percent of this entitlement to be <br />used for social service programs. <br />75A -1 <br />
