Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108 guaranteed loans during program year 2008,2009 and 2010 shall principally benefit persons of low and moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70 percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit such persons during the designated period; 3.
