2017 City of Indianapolis CDBG Application
CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS APPLICATION
PROGRAM YEAR 2017 - HUD ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMSCommunity Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The City of Indianapolis, Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD) is now accepting applications for projects to be part of the 2017 U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Entitlement Programs. The application will be made available June 15th, 2016. All applications will be required to be submitted by noon on July 27th, 2016 to Suite 2043 of the City County Building, 200 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
Application reviews will occur during the month of August. Project applicants will be asked to be available for a short question and answer session during this time. The date of the session will be tentatively scheduled for August 18th, 2016.
Award announcements are anticipated to be made September of 2016. The City of Indianapolis tentatively estimates a CDBG award for 2017 in the amount of $3,000,000.
Federal Funds through the City’s 2017 entitlement are contingent upon approval of the 2017 federal budget. The amount of project funding may be affected by federal budget cuts. The City may not be aware of its 2017 allocation of federal funds until June or July 2017. Likewise no contracts with the City can be executed until HUD approves DMD’s 2017 Action Plan – thus, contracts may not be fully executed until mid-2017.
DMD staff will not know how much total funding is available until closer to the application deadline. This funding is contingent upon the entitlement funding from HUD.
Please contact the following if you have questions regarding the application.

To be eligible, projects must meet at least one HUD approved National Objective. In addition, all projects must meet at least one eligible activity, and must benefit low to moderate income individuals and families, per funding guidelines.
Special Note:This application is not for CDBG owner occupied repair or public service activities. Contact the CDBG Manager for applications for these activities. Projects submitted in response to this application for owner occupied repair or public service activities will not be funded. However you may mention those activities to demonstrate additional activities you are focusing in specific areas.
Application Submittal GuidelinesTo be considered for funding, applicants must submit:
Three paper original signed and typed applications on 8.5’’ x 11’’ paper
Three paper copies of all attachments. If attaching a large document, such as an Environmental Phase 1 or 2 or Neighborhood Plan, only the relevant pages are required to be submitted as paper copies and with relevant sections highlighted.
Three paper copies of the completed Budget and Finance Supplement Excel spreadsheet(s) applicable to this project.
One electronic copy of the typed application, all attachments, and the applicable Budget and Finance Supplement Excel spreadsheet(s) on a flash drive.
Applicants must also adhere to the following general guidelines for preparing the application for CDBG funding:
Project specific questions will not be accepted after June 15th, 2016. General questions relating to eligible activities and programmatic regulations will still be allowed.
The application must be submitted with the required content and in the format requested. Do not submit any handwritten documents. Documents submitted in an inappropriate format will not be transferred to the review committee or evaluated.
Applications must address the items specified in the Project Narrative section and must be organized exactly as specified. Applications that have incomplete responses to questions or which are improperly organized will be given lesser consideration.
Submit only the documents specified in the Required Documentation sections. Do not submit annual proposals, video tapes, flyers, paraphernalia, or any other materials not requested at this time. Additional materials will not contribute to the evaluation process and will be discarded.
Submit ALL DOCUMENTATION requested. Only complete applications will be considered. A complete application includes ALL requested forms and documentation. Applications that are missing any required documentation will not be evaluated. All attachments and documents will be required to be submitted as separate digital files with descriptive titles.
If an applicant is submitting applications for multiple projects, each project should have a separate application response. However, the specific projects may have multiple activities. For instance, a housing project may have different construction, rehabilitation and remediation activities that should be part of one application response; that project should be submitted separately from a commercial project with its distinct activities. Those responses may indicate through maps or narrative how each project supports a larger redevelopment plan for the area.
Applications must be delivered no later than 12:00 pm July 27th, 2016 to:
CDBG staffCity County BuildingDepartment of Metropolitan Development200 East Washington Street, Suite 2042Indianapolis, IN 46204
Do not deliver applications to any other City department or office staff person of the City of Indianapolis. DMD will not review late applications.
Loans and Pro-Forma RequirementsThe City will be underwriting all of the projects that are chosen from this application. The ability of organizations and their associated projects to support loans in lieu of grants will be evaluated. Preference will be given to projects that can support debt. The City may still choose to fund projects through grants where appropriate. However, projects agreeing to the ability to accept a loan can be held to this selection.
Economic Development projects will be asked to complete an economic pro forma to determine the project’s ability to support a loan. Terms of any loans will be requested from the applicant but will be subject to DMD review and approval.
Processing of Applications
DMD will convene a review committee to evaluate eligible applications in terms of federal and local program priorities.

Funding Priorities:The City of Indianapolis has outlined several priorities as part of this application. Preference will be given to applicants who meet these priorities.

neighborhood safety and success that enhance additional development in the area to promote comprehensive and coordinated development.
Regulatory Considerations:
If the organization is selected as a sub-recipient under a Development/Rehabilitation category, the organization must comply with the following:
1. Davis Bacon and Prevailing Wages : The General Contractor is responsible for full compliance with the requirements of Davis Bacon/Prevailing Wage laws for all contractors, subcontractors, and any lower-tier subcontractors as provided by the Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations established by the U.S. Department of Labor (provided by the Division of Housing Assistance).Davis Bacon regulations can be found at Title 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7. (Title 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5, 6 & 7 Guide).
2. If funded, the Project Developer will be required to submit a Davis-Bacon Applicability Form to the City’s Davis-Bacon Compliance Officer to make a determination as whether this project triggers Davis Bacon Wages. Project Developers should also assume construction projects will trigger Davis-Bacon.
3. Environmental Review Process : The City will perform an environmental review as the project site per HUD regulation that can be found at 24 CFR 570.604 and at 40 CFR Part 1500-1508. Note that this full process may take 90-120 days; no work may start until this full process has been complete.
4. Reporting : To ensure compliance, the developer must submit concise reports to be discussed with City staff.
5. Monitoring : All recipients of federal funds will be monitored by City staff to verify project details.
6. Timely Competition : Recipients under contract to receive City and/or federal funds must complete work within the timeframe specified in the contract. Failure to complete the project work may be grounds, at the City’s discretion, for cancellation of the contract.
