Funding Overview

$14.550 MILLION

CDBG-MIT dollars are focused on funding projects that mitigate future disasters and flooding. Approximately $14.550 million is available to fund Pump Stations projects through CDBG-MIT. The program deadline for expenditure of these funds varies based on the completion date of each project in 2026. Projects funded through the CDBG-MIT program must meet the following criteria:

Benefitted Areas

50% of CDBG-MIT funds must be spent in low-to-moderate income (LMI) census tracts or census block groups with a 51% or higher LMI index.

After that criterion is met, “urgent need” projects may be considered, which do not have a minimum LMI requirement.

Additional Considerations:

CDBG-MIT funding cannot be used to supplant local funds already assigned to a project. The funds can only be used to cover unfunded project costs or project cost overruns.
