File Number: 14-064 <br />The City's CDBG entitlement grant from HUD for FY 2014-2015 is projected to be $649,471. <br />There is no projected CDBG program income. Staff estimates that the City should receive <br />$144,275 in HOME funds from the Alameda County HOME Consortium plus an estimated <br />$289,497 carried over from prior years' HOME grants. For this Draft FY 2014-2014 Annual <br />Action Plan, staff is assuming last year's funding levels for both CDBG and HOME estimates <br />since HUD has not yet finalized its FY 2014-2015 CDBG and HOME budgets. It is anticipated <br />that HUD's allocation of funding levels to entitlement cities and counties should occur soon. <br />The proposed CDBG-funded activities in the FY 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan fall into the <br />following eligible categories: Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing Activities, and General <br />Administration. <br />In accordance with HUD regulations, the City will commit no more than 15% (or $97,420) of its <br />annual CDBG allocation toward Public Services. The City issued a Community Assistance <br />Grant Program (CAP) Request for Funding Proposal (RFP) in November 2012 to award <br />two-year grants through FY 2013-2015 (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015). The Human <br />Services Commission made final funding recommendations in late February 2013, approving <br />CDBG grants for public services for two years, with the stipulation that CDBG grants are <br />subject to change if HUD increases or decreases the CDBG entitlement grant from the prior <br />year. FY 2014-2015 is the second year of the two-year cycle. Between FY 2009-10 and FY <br />2012-13, the CAP Program was funded solely with CDBG funds. In FY 2013-2014, the City <br />approved $150,000 in General Funds as part of the Community Investment Fund to <br />supplement funding for public service providers. <br />Under the draft Plan, the non -profits that were awarded CAP funding last FY 2013-2014, will <br />receive the same funding amounts for the upcoming FY 2014-2015. The Human Services <br />Commission confirmed this second year funding recommendation at its February 26, 2014 <br />commission meeting. <br />Proiect Name <br />CALICO <br />Davis Street Family Resource Center <br />FESCO <br />SOS/Meals on Wheels <br />Spectrum Community Services <br />Total <br />FY 13-14 <br />FY 14-15 <br />$ 13,000 <br />$ 13,000 <br />$ 41,520 <br />$ 41,520 <br />$ 13,000 <br />$ 13,000 <br />$ 16,900 <br />$ 16,900 <br />$13,000 <br />$13,000 <br />$ 97,420 <br />$ 97,420 <br />For Public Facilities, the City must allocate $204,037 to HUD for principal/interest payments <br />for the City's outstanding $2.5 million HUD Section 108 loan which was used to construct the <br />City's senior center. In addition, staff proposes allocating $40,000 to continue to assist in the <br />implementation of the City's 2010 Updated ADA Transition Plan by funding the completion of <br />architectural modifications designed to make City facilities (including the Main Library, Marina <br />Community Center, City Hall, South Offices, Police Department, Washington Manor Library, <br />and Marina Park) more accessible to persons with disabilities. Furthermore, $88,120 of <br />CDBG funds are proposed to be used for the continued installation of wheelchair accessible <br />sidewalks and curbs throughout the city to bring them into ADA compliance. <br />For Housing Activities, staff recommends providing $90,000 of CDBG funds to continue <br />funding the City's Single -Family Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program, which provides minor <br />City of San Leandro Page 3 Printed on 3/11/2014 <br />
