U '
Recent changes to HUD's regulations require that no less than 70% of a grante 's
aggregate funds ($166,775) should be used to support activities that benefit pers ns of
low and moderate income.
We have received a request for $1,000 in CDBG funds from the Center for
Independent Living (CIL), a non-profit organization which assists the physically
disabled, hearing impaired and elderly residents in the San Gabriel and Pomo la
Valleys.
CIL provides the following free services; Information & Referral, Advocacy, H me
Health Aide placement Service, Emergency Shelter for the Homeless and Disabled
and Deaf Services. According to their letter, during the period of July, 1989 to 4ine,
1990 they have provided services to approximately 121 persons who reside in the
City of Arcadia. The major service was to the hearing impaired and the elderly.
However, other services induded housing placement for the disabled and horr,e
health aide placement for the elderly.
One of the Action Programs set forth in the Housing Element of the General Plan
reads:
"4.10 Continue supporting the efforts of non-profit organizations provi.ing
information, counseling and referrals for homeless and low and moder- e
income persons." ,
Staff is recommending that the 1991-92 CDBG funds of $238,250 be allocated for the
following projects.
Housing Rehabilitation Project - $165,775
The City will offer assistance to low/moderate income homeowners for
necessary home improvements. A maximum grant of $7,500 will be availa•le
per household. Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to: exte for
work to preserve or protect structures, including painting, roofing and sidin:;
repairs, restoration or replacement of important parts of structures such as
heating, plumbing, electrical repairs, etc.; other improvements to correct co.e
violations as authorized and interior work to make structures more livable,
including, painting, plastering, new flooring and tile work. It is estimated t at
approximately 18 households will be assisted (this indudes the cost of
administering the program).
Public Works Lighting Program #4 - $42,000
This project involves the conversion of 63 lights from series to multiple cir uit
lights on First Avenue from Huntington Drive north to Colorado Boulevard
1-999-94 CDBG Fjunds

and along Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Av nue.
The street lighting conversion from series circuits to multiple circuits cuts t e
electrical energy cost by 67%.
This project is located within the City's Redevelopment area (Census Tract
4308.01).
Public Works Lighting Program #5 - $17,475
This project includes the installation of 5 energy efficient lamps on Colorad.
Place from Huntington Drive (lower Y) to Colorado Boulevard (upper Y).
This project is located within the City's Redevelopment area (Census Tract

install and construct or to cause to be installed and constructed the public
improvements, public facilities and public utilities...necessary to carry out the
Plan. Such improvements...utilities include, but are not limited to...street
lights...."
Information and Referral Service - $1,000
This program would provide $1,000 of funds to assist the Center for Independent
Living (CIL) to continue their efforts in providing support services to the City's
disabled residents. CIL's services include information and referral, advocacy,
home health aide placement service, emergency shelter for the homeless an
disabled and deaf services.
The addition of this program will assist the City in meeting the goals set for in
the City's Housing Element.

which is committed to assisting the physically disabled , hear-
ing impaired and elderly residents of the San Gabriel and Pomona

Home Health Aide placement service , Emergency Shelter for the
Homeless, Disabled and Deaf Services , all of which are free .
Our Staff is made up of nine professionals with backgrounds in

working in the disabled and hearing impaired community.
We are requesting the amount of $1 , 000 from the City of Arcadia ' s
Community Block Grant Funds so that this Center may continue
providing services to your City ' s Residents . Between July, 1989
to June , 1990 , we have provided services to approximately 121

Without some additional financial assistance , it is altogether
possible that these services may have to be reduced , a step
