body
Statement of Issue:
The City receives CDBG and HOME federal entitlement grant funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To remain eligible for these grant funds, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) to HUD each year outlining how these funds will be used during the upcoming fiscal year.

The CPAB recommendations for Fiscal Year 2024-25 are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 of this report and described in detail in the 2024-25 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" of Attachment 2). The deadline for submission of the 2024-25 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2024.

The City's estimated 2024-25 CDBG and HOME program budget comprised of $1,264,681 in CDBG and $1,235,731 in HOME funds is based upon the current 2023-24 funding allocations.
