The City of Mishawaka received $468,014 in Community Development Block Funds for Program Year 2025. Should the City receive an increase in funding, the increase will be applied to the City of Mishawaka Administration project but not to exceed the 20% Admin cap, Public Services Projects would received the increase distributed among all projects with the total allocation not to exceed the 15% Public Services Cap. Should the City receive a decrease in funding, the decrease will be taken from the South Bend Human Rights Project. Should the decrease affect the amount allowable to the public services cap, the Boys and Girls Club project will be reduced to meet the 15% cap. The remaining amount exceeding the required 15% for Public Services and 20% for Admin costs will be decreased or increased from the Spot and Blight Project.
