Code and Form CDBG-N-4 is granted and the Department waives the requirement that only the leverage identified in the application for a CDBG subgrant may be used in the CDBG project, on the basis that the same benefit and program impact results from the use by Welaka of its general revenue funds as leverage for its project in lieu of the DEP subgrant award identified in its application.
