Of this amount, the City of Orlando’s allocation is $1,145,176. To receive these funds, the City must first certify that a minimum of 20% ($229,035.20) of our allocation will be used to serve persons with special needs as defined in section 420.0004, Florida Statutes and that we will meet this requirement through the existing approved strategies identified in our local assistance plan.
The Certification Form is being presented to City Council for this purpose.
