portions of the State under the regular CDBG
program and all of the other areas of the most
impacted counties not covered by the CDBG
entitlement communities getting a direct
grant. For example, the geography served by
Livingston County, South Carolina includes
one or more communities that cross over into
Richland County, South Carolina. Because
those communities participate with the
Livingston County CDBG program and not
the Richland County CDBG program, their
need is reflected in the award to Livingston
County. In addition, a number of
incorporated towns in Richland County are
served by the State CDBG program and the
data for those communities were factored
into the grant to the South Carolina State
government and not the grant to the Richland
County Urban County.
