There are eight procedural steps which typically precede actual initiation of CDBG project activities. The eight initial steps are:
- Step 1: Receipt Of The Award Letter.
- Step 2: Completion Of And Submission Of Application Documents. (pre/post app.)
- Step 3: Preparation Of The Environmental Review Record. (pre/post app.)
- Step 4: Negotiation And Execution Of The Contract.
- Step 5: Selection Of A Local Management Structure. (pre/post application)
- Step 6: Identification Of Local Requirements That May Affect Project Implementation. (pre/post application)
- Step 7: Addressing Special Federal And State Requirements. (pre/post app.)
- Step 8: Establishing A Recordkeeping System.
These steps are considered to be typical. All eight steps, however, are not necessarily present in all projects. Also, the steps are not intended to be strictly sequential or seperate. In some cases the order of the steps may be altered, and in many cases a number of the steps can be undertaken concurrently.
