body
Statement of Issue:
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (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. As part of this annual process, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) evaluates funding applications and makes funding recommendations for CDBG public services activities to the City Council. The CPAB recommendations for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 are summarized in Table 2 of Attachment 1 of this report and described in detail in the 2023-2024 Action Plan (Exhibit "B" to Attachment 2). The deadline for submission of the 2023-2024 Action Plan to HUD is May 15, 2023.
In addition to the 2023-2024 Action Plan, the City Council is asked to consider an Amendment (Substantial) to the Citizen Participation Plan ("Amendment") authorizing various updates and revisions described below.
Financial Impact:
The City's FY 2023-2024 CDBG and HOME program budget is comprised of $1,560,363 in CDBG and $1,036,525 in HOME funds and includes HUD's annual entitlement allocation, carryover funds from prior fiscal year, and program income. Approval of the 2023-2024 Action Plan or the Amendment will not impact the General Fund.
