FOR MORE INFORMATION

The County of Hawaii's Department of Research and Development has purchased a subscription to the eCivis Grants Locator online program, effective January 1, 2006.

Grants Locator is a web-based grant research system designed specifically for local governments to help them develop and improve their grant performance.

More than 370 local governments in 38 states are using eCivis and their grants programs have grown substantially.

Data base content is written by eCivis research analysts based on their research of federal, state, and foundation grants, and the content is updated on a daily basis.

Each grant posted is researched, condensed and packaged into comprehensive information that quickly allows users to see if the grant fits their project.

Through the Hawaii County Resource Center, a program of the Department of Research and Development, all County Departments will have access to this state-of-the-art user-friendly software and database.

On-site training by eCivis staff, access to eCivis online grant skills courses and unlimited toll-free telephone support are included in the subscription. Access to this program will enable each department to locate funding sources quickly and easily.

The Hawaii County Resource Center is also pleased to announce that in addition to Hawaii County Government, access to Grants Locator will be available to an unlimited number of nonprofit community-based organizations throughout Hawaii County, at no cost to these organizations.

Any nonprofit organization in the County that is not a State or Federal agency may enroll regardless of its 501 (c) status.

Mayor Harry Kim sees this service as a valuable tool that will provide each member of Hawaii County’s nonprofit community the opportunity to pursue the funding needed to expand their missions and contribute to making Hawaii County a great place to live.

Any nonprofit organization in Hawaii County that is interested in obtaining access to eCivis should send its organization name, physical address, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, web site, list of members, mission, 501 designation (if applicable,) and a list with the names and e-mail addresses of all intended users to the Hawaii County Resource Center.

Please fax or email this information to HCRC: Fax number: 935-1205, e-mail : hcrc@co.hawaii.hi.us  mailto:hcrc@co.hawaii.hi.us.  No telephone calls please.

A brief description of the CDBG and HOME Programs are as follows:

Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-383) created the CDBG Program, which became effective January 1, 1974. Under the CDBG Program, a community is able to develop a flexible, locally designed comprehensive community development strategy in order to address the program's primary objective: "...development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and suitable living environments and expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate income."

Under the CDBG program, grants or loan assistance may be used by eligible public agencies, private non-profit organizations, and Community Based Development Organizations (CBDO), (non-profit organization) for the following activities provided that these activities either 1) principally benefit low and moderate income families, 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or 3) meet other community development needs having a particular urgency.

• Acquisition, disposition of real property, relocation payments, clearance
• Public facilities
• Public service
• Payment of non-federal share
• Homeownership (i.e. subsidize interest, mortgage guarantee, down payment, closing cost)
• Rehabilitation and preservation
• Economic development, micro-enterprises
• Planning and administration

The HOME Program was created under Title II (the HOME Investment Partnership Act) of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. The purpose of the HOME Program is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for very low and low-income persons.

Under the HOME Program, equity investments, interest-bearing and non-interest bearing loans or advances, deferred payment loans, grants, may be used by eligible public agencies, private non-profit organizations, developers, owners, community housing development organizations or other private organizations are eligible to utilize HOME funds for the following activities.

• Development hard costs defined as the actual cost of constructing or rehabilitating housing.
• Acquisition costs.
• Related soft costs defined as other reasonable and necessary costs incurred and associated with the financing or development (or both) of new construction, rehabilitation or acquisition of housing assisted with HOME funds.
• Relocation costs.
• Cost related to tenant-based rental assistance.

Applicants applying for HOME funding are required to match for every $1.00 of federal HOME funds expended for the project with at least $.25 of eligible matching funds.

For more information, please contact the Office of Housing and Community Development at 961-8379.

FREE MULCH is now available at both the Hilo and Kailua-Kona (Kealakehe) Transfer Stations. At the present time, no loading fees are being charged, although the public is advised to ask the operator for loading assistance. There may be a short wait time if the operator is busy.

The public may drop off green waste at either facility between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm seven days a week. Loading assistance is available at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona processing sites Monday through Saturday.

Residents are encouraged to contact any of the local trucking firms to arrange for delivery of large loads of mulch to their homes or places of business. Although there is no charge for the mulch and loading fees are waived, the public will need to pay their own delivery charges as negotiated with a local trucking firm.

EKO Composting Systems has assumed the operations of the County of Hawaii’s green waste drop-off and pick-up areas at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona (Kealakehe) Transfer Stations as of July 1, 2005.

The County is working on the development of a composting facility at the materials recovery area of the West Hawai`i Sanitary Landfill, which will also include receiving bays for used cooking oil and grease trap waste. When the new composting facility is completed, EKO will commence the production of high quality, U.S. Council certified, compost.

In addition, EKO Composting Systems along with partner company Pacific Biodiesel will be initiating the capture of waste oils for the production of biodiesel.

The public should be aware that there are size requirements that must be met in order to drop off residential and commercially hauled green waste at the processing facilities at Kailua-Kona and Hilo green waste yards.

These size requirements must also be followed for any green waste dropped at the Keaau Recycling and Reuse Center, as well as for any green waste disposed of at one of the County’s 21 residential solid waste transfer stations.

Materials not accepted at these green waste drop-off sites include:

• No garbage bags
• No plastic
• No lumber (No logs greater than 5’ in length, no logs greater than 18" in diameter)
• No glass
• No metal
• No rocks

Please note that at this time, no pallets may be delivered to the green waste processing facilities although the County intends to begin receiving pallets for chipping starting next year.

If loads delivered to the green waste drop-off sites and/or County transfer stations do not meet these criteria, the other option will be to dispose of the load at either the County’s South Hilo or West Hawai’i Sanitary Landfills. Green waste loads that do not meet acceptable requirements will be charged a special handling fee of $85/load in addition to the tip fee of $65/ton IF taken to either County landfill.

For further information, please contact the County’s recycling coordinator at 961-8942.
