body
Background:
Each year, the City receives Federal CDBG and HOME funds, which are provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds can only be used for specific purposes - primarily for the benefit of low- to moderate-income residents.
The City is expected to receive approximately $408,428 in new Federal CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and $146,529 in HOME funds.
Before CDBG funds can be allocated, the City Council must conduct a public hearing to consider requests for these funds. Staff solicited applications for these funds, and several have been received from private organizations and public projects.
Eligibility Criteria:
In order to be eligible for CDBG funds, projects much satisfy one of the three national objectives mandated by Congress. These objectives are:
1. To address the needs of low- to moderate-income persons.
2. To eliminate a slum or blighted condition.
3. To resolve an urgent need.
CDBG Funds:
In December 2023, the City published a legal advertisement promoting the availability of CDBG and HOME funds. Attachment 2 is a list of requests submitted by a number of public service agencies, as well as City-related projects, totaling $934,918.46.
Staff recommends approving the following project allocations in the amount of $408,428:
