Full Status Report: In late March 2018, OCR sent packets of information to each community that had received NYS CDBG assistance since 2000; the first year NYS took over the Program. The mailing was to 278 Towns, 47 Counties, 32 Cities and 157 Villages. Each packet contained OCR’s new Program Income Policy, a Program Income Fact sheet, and a certification form to be completed and returned to OCR. Each community was required to list their uncommitted Program Income on-hand and return the completed form by May 31, 2018. Those communities that did not submit the form have had their CDBG funds suspended. Any uncommitted Program Income after March 31, 2019 must be returned to the Corporation. The aggregate uncommitted Program Income amount was over $8.53 million as of July 2018.
