body
Background:
In January 2024, Charlotte County began the process of acquiring Entitlement Status, a prerequisite to receiving an annual allocation of Urban Qualification for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. To meet HUD requirements, several databases are utilized:
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS): Used for creating the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan and requesting disbursements.
Environmental Reporting Online System (HEROS): Fulfills environmental reporting, assessments, and reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act for all CDBG-funded projects.
Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR): Manages monthly and quarterly reports, including hurricane damage assessments and CDBG-DR funding requests.
The resolution will authorize the County Administrator, or his/her designee, to register, execute, and/or sign applications to utilize IDIS, HEROS, DRGR, and any other necessary related documents pertaining to CDBG funding.
