![]() ![]() If HUD can conclude that the users have primarily consisted of low- and moderate-income persons, no further submission is needed by the recipient. In analyzing this data to meet the requirements of this section, HUD will assume that the distribution of income among the callers generally reflects the income characteristics of the general population residing in the same geographic area where the callers reside. As available, the recipient must provide information that identifies the total number of calls actually received over the preceding 12-month period for each of the emergency services to be covered by the emergency telephone number system and relates those calls to the geographic segment (expressed as nearly as possible in terms of census tracts, block numbering areas, block groups, or combinations thereof that are contained within the segment) of the service area from which the calls were generated. (B) Submit information that serves as a basis for HUD to determine whether at least 51 percent of the use of the system will be by low- and moderate-income persons. The request for approval must include a list of the emergency services that will participate in the emergency telephone number system (A) Demonstrate that the system will contribute significantly to the safety of the residents of the area. To obtain such approval, the recipient must: (iii) An activity to develop, establish, and operate for up to two years after the establishment of, a uniform emergency telephone number system serving an area having less than the percentage of low- and moderate-income residents required under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section or (as applicable) paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, provided the recipient obtains prior HUD approval. (D) If block group data are not available for the entire jurisdiction, other data acceptable to the Secretary may be used in the above calculations. Any service area located within the recipient's jurisdiction and having a proportion of low and moderate income persons at or above this level shall be considered to be within the highest quartile. (C) The proportion of low and moderate income persons in the last census block group in the highest quartile shall be identified. (B) In any case where the total number of a recipient's block groups does not divide evenly by four, the block group which would be fractionally divided between the highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile. For urban counties, the rank ordering shall cover the entire area constituting the urban county and shall not be done separately for each participating unit of general local government. (A) All census block groups in the recipient's jurisdiction shall be rank ordered from the block group of highest proportion of low and moderate income persons to the block group with the lowest. In applying this exception, HUD will determine the lowest proportion a recipient may use to qualify an area for this purpose, as follows: This exception is inapplicable to non-entitlement CDBG grants in Hawaii. (ii) For metropolitan cities and urban counties, an activity that would otherwise qualify under § 570.208(a)(1)(i), except that the area served contains less than 51 percent low- and moderate-income residents, will also be considered to meet the objective of benefiting low- and moderate-income persons where the proportion of such persons in the area is within the highest quartile of all areas in the recipient's jurisdiction in terms of the degree of concentration of such persons. An activity that serves an area that is not primarily residential in character shall not qualify under this criterion. ![]() Such an area need not be coterminous with census tracts or other officially recognized boundaries but must be the entire area served by the activity. (i) An activity, the benefits of which are available to all the residents in a particular area, where at least 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate income persons. ![]() (The recipient shall appropriately ensure that activities that meet these criteria do not benefit moderate income persons to the exclusion of low income persons.) In assessing any such evidence, the full range of direct effects of the assisted activity will be considered. Activities meeting the criteria in paragraph (a) (1), (2), (3), or (4) of this section as applicable, will be considered to benefit low and moderate income persons unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. (a) Activities benefiting low- and moderate-income persons. The following criteria shall be used to determine whether a CDBG-assisted activity complies with one or more of the national objectives as required under § 570.200(a)(2): Link to an amendment published at 88 FR 30498, May 11, 2023. ![]()
