Old Business
A. Status of 2017 HUD Funding
The first item of business was to announce the status of 2017 HUD funding. Staff Member Murphy stated there was an increase in funding; the Commission received $23,000 more than expected. This was within the 5%variance and therefore staff adjusted the grant amounts for each organization by the amount of the increase.
