ation of slums and blight; and meeting other urgent community development needs, and

for annual distribution to communities on a competitive basis with funding decisions
being made by the County Board following receipt and review of recommendations from
the Citizens Advisory Committee,

Development Block Grant funds for the rehabilitation of existing single-family dwellings
in previous years; and

aids if a Special Census shows our population exceeds 5,000; and

community; and
