The County of Fayette anticipates receiving a total FY2025 CDBG allocation of $1,377,768 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). This allocation includes $1,113,620 in CDBG funds reserved for the nine Entitlement Townships and $264,148 in CDBG funds available for projects in non-Entitlement municipalities. Seventy percent (70%) of available funds must benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
The proposed use of FY2025 CDBG funding includes various infrastructure and housing activities, including Street Improvements, Recreation, Housing Rehabilitation Delivery and Administration Funds for each municipality. See the chart on the following page for a detailed listing of activities and funding amounts.
The proposed activities will not result in any residential displacement. It is the stated policy of the County to avoid activities which result in displacement. In the unlikely event any activity funded by the CDBG program results in displacement, it is the responsibility of the County and/or local municipality to provide relocation assistance.
On behalf of Fayette County, the Fayette County Redevelopment Authority has developed a Citizen Participation, Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy, Drug Free Workplace Policy, Excessive Force Policy, Anti-Displacement Plan, MBE / WBE Plan, Section 3 Plan, Fair Housing Analysis and Annual Action Plan, Four-Factor Analysis and Language Access Plan, and 504 Plan, all of which are available for review at the Redevelopment Authority Office during normal working hours.
