DRAFT Annual Action Plan 2018 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) requires that grantees include “contingency provision” language in this document. The contingency provision must note that all proposed FY18-19 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 once they are known. 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 proposes to allocate its available CDBG funding in the following eligible 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 2018-2019 will not exceed the 15% spending cap to adhere to HUD expenditure regulations. The following public service agencies will receive CDBG funds in FY 2018-2019: CALICO, Davis Street Family Resource Center, and SOS/Meals on Wheels. For Public Facilities, the City must allocate $190,635 to HUD for principal and 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, the City will allocate approximately $190,000 (this amount will be adjusted once the final allocation amount is received from HUD) to continue to assist in the implementation of the City's 2010 Updated ADA Transition Plan. This plan will design and install architectural modifications to make City facilities more accessible to persons with disabilities (locations for these investments to be determined). 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 2018-2019 will adhere to the HUD-regulated 20% spending cap on general administration. The City will allocate approximately $120,000 to City staffing for program administration. As a CDBG entitlement recipient, the City is required by HUD to affirmatively further fair housing. Staff proposes to allocate $10,000 to support Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO Housing) to provide fair housing services to San Leandro residents. 15
