Only four applications were received for the Rental Rehab/Reconstruction Housing Activity and all four were ineligible. We are requesting to reallocate the funds to two activities as noted below because projected funds necessary to complete the activities has increased. After completion of detailed modeling in conjunction with the other infrastructure activities, it was found that the Clarewod/Barbara Activity does not reduce flooding in a significant amount to justify expended the remaining funds. We are requesting to terminate this activity and reallocate the remaining funds to the Blanco Gardens activity. Due to refined design, the budgets of Uhand Road are over budget.
