which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Annual Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to

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.
The jurisdiction shall not attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with CDBG
funds, including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or assessment
attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue sources. In this case, 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
(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.
