COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) 
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS AND FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS 
 
CDBG Public Services: 
 
COC Community Development and Resources – Community Navigation and Client 
Services 
Recommendation:     $151,521 
 
Funding to continue to provide community navigation and client services to individuals 
experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Chandler. This funding helps to identify and 
establish relationships; coordinate care and communications with appropriate service 
providers; facilitate access to housing; and provide support and advocacy necessary to 
maintain housing.  
 
COC Housing and Redevelopment – Public Housing Youth Program 
Recommendation:   $50,000 
 
Funding to continue to provide after school and intersession programming to youth, ages 6-
18, who reside in Chandler’s four Public Housing family sites. Activities include academic 
support; mentoring; youth development; arts; books and reading services; and sports and 
recreation. Programming is offered Monday through Friday on regular school days at each 
public housing site. During intersession, youth from all four sites come together to participate 
in regular programming and special events. In the summer months, activities are offered in 
the morning for younger children, in the afternoon for all ages, and in the evening for teens. 
 
CDBG Capital Projects, Housing, and Neighborhood Revitalization: 
COC Community Development and Resources – Homeowner Rehabilitation Operations  
Recommendation:   $100,000 
 
Funding to continue support for staff who identify, assess, and prepare single-family Chandler 
homeowners with low- and moderate-income that have significant housing rehabilitation 
needs to receive assistance. The city will process client applications to determine eligibility for 
program assistance. The Homeowner Rehabilitation program works in tandem with a third-
party contractor which provides emergency repairs, minor repairs, ADA modifications and 
exterior improvements. The city is evaluating the ability to include additional eligible services 
that are covered under the housing rehabilitation program.

Homeowner Rehabilitation Program Activities 
Recommendation:   $408,261 
 
Funding to continue emergency repairs, minor repairs, ADA modifications and exterior 
improvements for eligible Chandler residents with low- and moderate-income who own and 
occupy a single-family home. Programs benefit households by:  (1) addressing the health, 
safety, or welfare of households; (2) making improvements or modifications to remove 
accessibility barriers; and (3) elevating neighborhoods. The city is evaluating the ability to 
include additional eligible services.  
 
COC Housing and Redevelopment – Relocation Assistance 
Recommendation:   $250,000 
 
Funding will provide relocation assistance to households who are currently residing in public 
housing and will be transitioning from their current units to newly constructed units at Villas 
on McQueen or other future affordable rental sites constructed by the city.  
 
COC Neighborhood Preservation - Code Enforcement in Low–Mod Neighborhoods 
 
Recommendation:     $115,000 
 
Funding to continue the systematic, proactive inspection program in CDBG eligible areas, with 
an emphasis on north Chandler. The program supports a Code Inspector specifically assigned 
to low- and moderate-income areas to initiate code enforcement inspections and take 
necessary enforcement actions to remediate neighborhood degradation. Residents receive an 
advisory notice providing information about common code violations for self-evaluation and 
correction prior to inspection.
