Proposed Use of 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and
Reallocation of Community Development Block Grant ‐
Coronavirus Round 3 (CDBG‐CV3) Funds
The City of Renton’s estimated 2024 federal Community Development Block Grant
entitlement is $653,538. The funding available after King County contractual set‐asides
for the King County Housing Repair Program, Housing Stability Program, and
administration is estimated at $379,052. These funds must serve low‐moderate income
Renton residents and be allocated in accordance with federal regulations. The City is
proposing to allocate these funds as follows:
1.) Planning/Administration: $65,354 or the maximum amount allowable to City of
Renton, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057 to plan and administer the City’s
CDBG program activities.
2.) Capital: The estimated balance of $313,698 is proposed for design, construction,
and construction management costs for a roof replacement at the Don Persson
Renton Senior Activity Center. The Center is located at 211 Burnett Ave N,
Renton, Washington 98057 and serves seniors, which is a presumed low‐
moderate income group.
The Contingency Plan if there are any increases or decreases to Renton’s 2024 CDBG
allocation is as follows: Planning/Administration to the maximum amount allowable;
and then increases or decreases to funding, CDBG program income, and any recaptured
funds to the Don Persson Renton Senior Activity Center Roof Replacement Project.
The City of Renton received federal Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus
Round 3 (CDBG‐CV3) funds through King County. These funds must be used to serve
low‐moderate income Renton residents and must prevent, prepare for, and respond to
the Coronavirus. There is unspent CDBG‐CV3 funding in the amount of $448,208 that
was previously awarded to the Renton Housing Authority and as a rent assistance set‐
aside, that needs to be reallocated. The City proposes to reallocate this $448,208 in
CDBG‐CV3 funds to a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Improvements
project at the Don Persson Renton Senior Activity Center at 211 Burnett Ave N, Renton,
Washington 98057.
