Although <br />Brooklyn Park has had the same opportunity since 1988, that city has <br />elected to remain a part of the Urban Hennepin County program. In <br />the future, other communities may be faced with the same option, <br />which could further alter the number of participants and the annual <br />grant amount. <br />Annual CDBG funding is determined by appropriations made by the <br />federal government. Funding has stabilized during the last five years, <br />leading to expectations that it will continue essentially unchanged. Like <br />ail national programs, however, the CDBG program is sensitive to <br />evolving domestic priorities and budgetary constraints As in the past, <br />we will monitor events and program changes and continue to <br />maximize the effective use of available resources in addressing the <br />housing and community development needs of our area. <br />pag» 9
