Citizen Participation — It is in full compliance and following a detailed citizen
participation plan that satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan — Its consolidated housing and community
development plan identifies community development and housing needs and
specifies both short-term and long-term community development objectives that
that have been developed in accordance with the primary objective of the statute
authorizing the CDBG program, as described in 24 CFR 570.2 and 24 CFR, Part 570.
Following the Consolidated Plan — It will follow the five year-Consolidated Plan
as approved by HUD.
Use of Funds e It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted
with CDBG funds, the City of Kent certifies that it has developed its Action
Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low
and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums
or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee
certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having a
particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate
threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other financial
resources are not available to meet such needs;
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including section 108
guaranteed loans during program year 2015 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. Special Assessments. The City of Kent will not attempt to recover any capital
costs of public improvements assisted with CDBG funds including Section 108
loan guaranteed funds by assessing any amount against properties owned
and occupied by persons of low and moderate income, including any fee
charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such
public improvements. However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion
of a fee or assessment that relates to the capital costs of public
improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other
revenue sources, an assessment or charge may be made against the
property with respect to the public improvements financed by a source other
than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by
moderate-income (but not low-income) families, an assessment or charge
may be made against the property for public improvements financed by a
source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG
funds to cover the assessment

1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies
within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil
rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring

violent civil rights demonstrations within its jurisdiction;

administered in conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC
2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-3619), and implementing regulations.

abatement procedures concerning lead-based paint will comply with the
requirements of 24 CFR 570.608;
