City, and Urban County) to be based on the most recent data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.16 The bullets below provide guidance on how this affects your Urban County based on two different scenarios that may occur: If your Urban County is requalifying this year or the following year, and the UGLG is recognized by Census as dissolved, the former UGLG will be considered a part of the unincorporated area of your Urban County. In that instance, CDBG funds may be used for activities in the former UGLG, and its residents may benefit from CDBG-funded activities. • If your Urban County is requalifying this year, and the UGLG is not recognized as dissolved by Census (although dissolution has occurred), the UGLG will become part of your Urban County, as the UGLG has legally ceased to exist, regardless of being recognized as such by Census. 4.10.2 Qualification of New York Towns as Metropolitan Cities (CDBG Entitlements) In the State of New York, there are eight towns that can qualify as Metropolitan Cities if the town secures the participation of all the incorporated villages in their boundaries to attain Metropolitan City status. These eight towns are in existing Urban Counties and are eligible to be Metropolitan Cities but have not taken steps to qualify as Metropolitan Cities: Greenburgh, Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Clarkstown, Ramapo, Smithtown, and Southampton. These eight towns have decided to participate in their respective Urban Counties' CDBG programs as Participating UGLGs. But when their respective Urban Counties requalify, these eight towns may decide to become Metropolitan Cities and administer their own CDBG programs. This means that the towns would leave the Urban Counties in which they are currently Participating UGLGs. If a New York town decides to become a Metropolitan City and administer its own CDBG Entitlement program, they must take the following steps: 1. The New York town should decide before the Urban County requalification process starts whether it will accept its CDBG Entitlement status. HUD's experience has shown that UGLGs need plenty of time to complete all the necessary processes, so HUD recommends that this decision -making process should start the year before the requalification year. The town can't qualify as a Metropolitan City unless it secures participation of all the villages in its boundaries by executing a Cooperation Agreement with those villages. Depending on local circumstances, it may take several months to notify every village by letter of its intent to become a separate CDBG Entitlement community and to secure the participation of all villages. 16 HUD uses a variety of U.S. Census data sets for the CDBG program, including: Population and Housing Unit Estimates (updated annually), the American Community Survey 5-Year Survey (updated annually), and the Decennial Census (updated every ten years). HUD also uses OMB data as well. 30 6T.11
