    CDBG 49 Program Year Public Service Agency Application

    The Glen Cove Community Development Agency, is currently assisting the following Public Service Agencies through the Community Development Block Grant, (“CDBG”):

    Public Facilities & Improvements

    Glen Cove Public Facilities Improvement completed in part with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the Pedestrian Improvements program. The project included planning, design, and construction of pedestrian improvements in downtown Glen Cove, specifically the replacement of 28 curb ramps and upgrades to 16 crosswalks on Bridge, Glen, and School Streets. The project also included the addition of a new crosswalk and curb ramps on School Street in a location where there was not previously a crosswalk and curb ramps. The project has enhanced the visibility and durability of crosswalks, brought curb ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, fixed ramps that had been in a state of disrepair, and improved pedestrian safety in downtown Glen Cove. (Pictured are Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck, CDA Director Ann Fangmann, and; Kevin Crean, Director, Terry Dukes, Deputy Director; and Donald Crosley, Deputy Director of Nassau County Office of Community Development)

    Glen Cove Public Facilities Improvement completed with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the Downtown Wayfinding Signage program.  Three kiosks were designed and installed in strategic locations throughout the Downtown BID, including near the Brewster Street Garage, next to City Hall, and in front of the Police Station at the NICE bus stop.

    Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program

    The Section 8 Housing Program was established by Congress in 1974. The program is administered in every state throughout the country. Glen Cove’s Section 8 Housing Assistance Program is administered with funding provided by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). The Section 8 Program helps eligible families, that fall within the income guidelines determined by Nassau County, afford permanent rental housing, subsidizing a portion of the monthly rent.

    Tenant-based vouchers increase affordable housing choices for very low-income families (i.e. families with income below 50% of area median income). Families with a tenant-based voucher choose and lease safe, decent, and affordable privately owned rental housing that meets HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and has a reasonable rent as compared to other units in the area.

    The Glen Cove Section 8 Program has 340 vouchers for rental housing. The Program received over 700 applications on-line during a three-day window (8/16-8/21/21) wherein the waiting list was reopened.  Only 500 applications were accepted via lottery.  Applicants whose application was accepted into the lottery received an “active status” reply from the software system.  To check to see if your application was chosen and your placement on the wait-list, please visit:  www.waitlistcheck.com and enter your user name and password.  The staff will be contacting applicants in the order their application was received in the lottery on a regular basis beginning in October 2021.

    NEW PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO WATCH AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO THAT DESCRIBES HOW THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM WORKS.  EXISTING PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO WATCH THE VIDEO.
