This grant aims to implement activities that benefit low- and moderate-income families and persons within Deltona. Up to 15% of these funds are specifically designated for eligible public service activities. The City of Deltona, as the donor, aligns its mission with HUD's objectives by addressing community development needs and improving the quality of life for its residents, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged. The program emphasizes a commitment to fostering a more equitable and supportive community. The target beneficiaries for this CDBG program are income-eligible Deltona residents, specifically low- and moderate-income families and individuals. The primary impact goal is to provide essential public services that might otherwise be inaccessible, thereby improving the overall well-being and stability of these residents. By supporting services for those most in need, the program seeks to alleviate hardship and promote greater self-sufficiency within the community. The City of Deltona's strategic priorities include enhancing community services and ensuring that vital resources reach vulnerable populations. The program prioritizes projects that offer either new services or a quantifiable increase in the current level of service provided by non-profit agencies or other public service organizations. This focus ensures that the grant funds lead to tangible and measurable improvements in service delivery, rather than simply maintaining existing levels. The City's theory of change posits that by investing in impactful public services, it can create a ripple effect that strengthens the social fabric of the community and addresses systemic inequalities faced by low-income residents. Expected outcomes include an increased availability and accessibility of critical public services for income-eligible residents.

Expected outcomes and measurable results are integral to the grant program. For Thriving Neighborhoods, organizations must demonstrate increased resident safety and awareness through surveys, crime reporting, or statistics. Empowered Youth/Young Adult programs should show improved conditions for participants through measurable impacts of services and formal mentorship components.
