BACKGROUND INFORMATION A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The Action Plan is the annual implementing document for the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan 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 We are estimating an allocation of $613,959 in CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2017/18 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Federal appropriations for entitlement programs, including the CDBG Program, have not yet been approved through Congress, so we do not yet know what our annual allocation will be and are going forward with an estimated allocation amount based upon last year's allocation. The City Council has a policy of allocating 40 percent of the annual CDBG award (net of administrative costs) to community-based organizations (CBOs), with the remainder going to City projects. There is a 15 percent Public Service Cap on the overall annual allocation. Based upon the estimated allocation amount, the distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects CBO projects Administration TOTAL 15% Service Cap $294,701 $196,467 $122.791 (20% of the Annual allocation) $613,959 $92,093.00 Reallocation In addition to the 2017-18 allocation amount, the Draft Annual Action Plan includes $18,000 in reallocated CDBG funds from previous program years.
