AGENDA TITLE: Set a Public Hearing for March 17, 2010, to approve the Draft 2010/11 Action Plan
and the reallocation of available funding for the Community Development Block
Grant Program.
MEETING DATE: March 3, 2010
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set a public hearing for March 17, 2010, to approve the Draft
2010/11 Action Plan and the reallocation of available funding for the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements
of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
In May 2009, the Council approved the 2009-14 CDBG Consolidated Plan, a five-year plan for identifying
and addressing community needs. The Consolidated Plan contains an assessment that defines housing
and community development needs for low-income persons and families, as well as a variety of special
needs populations, including homeless, elderly, and disabled persons. The needs assessment is based
on Census data, other available data sources, and input from community residents and service
providers. The second component of the Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan, which lays out the City's
method for expending CDBG funds over the five-year period and sets goals and priorities for each type
of eligible activity.
The Action Plan is the Consolidated Plan's annual implementing document and provides a detailed
description of each activity proposed for the fiscal year, as well as the City's CDBG budget and goals for
the fiscal year.
Funding Allocation
The City is anticipating a funding allocation equal to that of last year, $751,211. Final allocations are
typically released by HUD in February or March. Allocations are not currently anticipated to differ
significantly from what was received last year.
In addition to the 2010/11 CDBG allocation, the City will be looking to reallocate any unused funds from
services approved in the 2009/10 Plan, as service funding cannot be carried over and must be
reallocated to eligible projects. The City also expects to have a reallocation of Urban County CDBG
funds available.
