The City is anticipating to receive $650,261 in CDBG funds. There is no projected CDBG program income or unallocated CDBG funds from prior years. In addition, the City anticipates receiving $157,436 in new HOME funds available for general administration and affordable housing projects as part of the Alameda County HOME Consortium. These funding allocations are projections based on last year's FY2016-2017 CDBG and HOME allocations, but are subject to change based on approval of HUD's final FY2017-2018 budget. As a contingency provision, all proposed FY2017-2018 Action Plan activity funding levels, except the Section 108 loan repayment, will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. After assessing the City's housing and community development priority needs, evaluating the Five -Year Strategic Plan objectives for FY 2015-2019, and analyzing CDBG eligibility criteria, the City is proposing to allocate its available CDBG dollars in the following eligible funding categories: Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing Activities, and General Administration. For public services the City proposes to fund homeless services and a shelter, family support services for abused children and their families, and services for special needs population (i.e. meal delivery service for homebound seniors and meals in supportive settings for seniors). The funding allocated to public services for FY 2017-2018 will not exceed $97,539 to adhere to the HUD -regulated 15% spending cap on public services. The following public service agencies will be funded with CDBG in FY 2017-2018: CALICO ($20,071), Davis Street Family Resource Center ($35,731), SOS/Meals on Wheels ($41,737). For Public Facilities, the City must allocate $194,585 to HUD for principal/interest payments for the City's outstanding $2.5 million HUD Section 108 loan which was used to construct the City's senior center. In addition, staff proposes allocating $128,085 to continue to assist in the implementation of the City's 2010 Updated ADA Transition Plan by funding the completion of architectural modifications designed to make City facilities (including the Main Library, Marina Community Center, City Hall, South Offices, Police Department, Washington Manor Library, and Marina Park) more accessible to persons with disabilities. For Housing Activities, staff recommends providing $100,000 of CDBG funds to fund City's Single -Family Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program, which provides minor repair grants to extremely low- and very - low income San Leandro homeowners. The City's administration funding for FY 2017-2018 is $130,052 in order to adhere to the HUD -regulated 20% spending cap on general administration. Staff is recommending to allocate $120,052 to City staffing for program administration. CDBG funds will also once again be allocated to ECHO Housing's Fair Annual Action Plan 2 2017 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
