reduce Action Plan"budgets" five percent(5%) from last year's amounts.

Community Development Block Grant $2,671,303 $3,226,732 $555,429
Total Amount to be Reallocated $555,429
Reallocation of CDBG Funds
The total amount of CDBG funds to be reallocated is $555,429. Staff is proposing that these
funds be reallocated to the following projects:
1. Commercial Building Rehabilitation Program ($150,000): The Commercial Building
Rehabilitation programs primary objective is to provide financial incentives for
commercial property owners and tenants to make facade and sign improvements to their
structures. The long term objective is to upgrade the Downtown Business/Government
Center by improving the physical and economic vitality of the area. Staff recommends a
maximum of $20,000 grant per business. This is a new project, there was no prior
funding.
2. Small Business Facade Improvement Program ($150,000): The Small Business
Fagade Improvement Grant Program assists business owners, tenants, and property
owners with a matching grant of 50%, up to a maximum of$10,000 to enhance the curb
appeal of their business storefront by providing funds to complete certain exterior
improvements. This Program is for businesses located within the City of San Bernardino.
This is a new project,there was no prior funding.
3. Dangerous Building Elimination Program ($100,000): The City will develop a
Dangerous Building Ordinance and Elimination Program. A grantee may demolish any
building that meets their dangerous building code definition. In a CDBG demolition-only
project, not more than 25% of those demolitions may be commercial structures. A
grantee must have documentation of compliance with their local ordinance prior to the
initiation of the demolitions unless this documentation was provided in the application.
Each house to be demolished must have been formally cited under the grantee's

dangerous building ordinance. The grantee must have a copy of the citation in each
property owner's project file. This is a new project,there was no prior funding.

project was funded at$100,000.
5. Mobile Home Grant Program (+$100,000): - Although the compact nature of mobile
homes generally reduces maintenance costs, the cost of maintenance as units age and
deteriorate can overextend a lower or moderate income household's budget. The Mobile
Home Grant Repair Program is proposed to be administered by Old-timers Foundation,
Inc., Inland Housing Development Corporation, Inc. (IHDC) and Neighborhood Housing
Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE). The program provides grants between $5,000
and$10,000 for mobile home repairs. The original project was funded at$100,000.
