Housing services. Staff proposes to allocate $10,000 to fair housing services to assist the City in meeting HUD requirements to affirmatively further fair housing. Additionally, the City is also projected to receive $157,436 in HOME funds from the Alameda County HOME Consortium plus, but there are no funds carried over from prior year's HOME grants as these funds have been allocated to BRIDGE Housing's 85 -unit San Leandro Senior Housing development. The City uses HOME funds for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and/or new construction of affordable rental housing as well as tenant -based rental assistance to serve lower income households in need. However, the City's HOME allocation for FY17-18, as well as for the next 2 fiscal years (FY18-19 and FY19-20), will instead be used to repay an allocation loan with a remaining balance of $566,066 which was provided to BRIDGE Housing to assist in the construction of the 115 -unit Marea Alta development. Both CDBG and HOME funding estimates assume last year's funding levels since HUD has not yet finalized its CDBG and HOME budgets for FY 2017-2018 at the time of City Council's final review on June 19, 2017. 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. 3.
