Some of the programs which would affect Iowa City are liste Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG), cut to zero. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), cut at least 10%. Section 108 Loan Guarantees, cut to zero. General Revenue Sharing, cut to zero. Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), unknown, but drastically cut. No new infrastructure funding. No new funding for assisted housing programs. Although it is not known at this time if any of these proposals will be enacted, we can assume that the Administration's efforts to reduce the federal deficit and simplify taxes could result in many of the above budget cuts. Since the primary purpose of the Committee on Community Needs is to advise the City Council on programs and activities that benefit the City's low- and moderate -income residents, the Committee recommends that the City Council consider the impact of the reductions in federal programs and contact Iowa's legislators urging them to support continued funding for these programs, particularly the Community Development Block Grant Program. Through CDBG funding, the City Council has approved projects that have helped preserve the City's neighborhoods and provide special programs for the elderly, handicapped, disabled and disadvantaged residents, including: the Housing Rehabilitation and Weatherization Program; Ralston Creek improvement activities; the Nelson Adult Center renovation; Goodwill Industries renova- tion; Congregate Housing; the Shared Housing Program; the Rental Rehabilita- tion Program; and park development for the City's low and moderate income families. Unless funding is continued, these programs that have benefitted the City's low- and moderate -income families directly will be in jeopardy. The Committee appreciates the support the Council has given to these programs and hopes that Council members will consider our recommendation. mn/sp a6-7 9 R Please Return To OELIN,HARRIS.
