Could you tell us, Mr. Mayor, what is the criteria for CDBG Emergency Assistance Program? Is is the same as for SHP? I'm not sure I understand the difference between the two programs.

I don't know much of the specifics. I have felt that there is some overlap because the funds are coming from different sources, federal for CDBG and state for SHIP. You would have to contact the city administrator for these programs to learn more. However, I know that SHIP funds can be used for a broader spectrum of uses, including home buying.
