The FY 2018-2019 HOME <br />funding amount increased over 50% from last year’s pro-rata share from the Alameda County HOME <br />Consortium of $162,675 to a total allocation of $244,691. <br />Analysis <br />Below are the changes to the Draft FY 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan presented to City Council on April <br />2, 2018 and incorporated in the Final Plan: <br />·There is an estimated $29,918 in unused prior year CDBG funds that will be carried forward to <br />FY 2018-19. This unused CDBG funding appears to be administrative savings resulting from the <br />temporary departure of the Housing Specialist, who was replaced by the current Senior Housing <br />Specialist in summer 2017. Both the added HUD entitlement grant and the FY 2017-2018 <br />carryforward will be allocated to increase funding for public services and ADA Transition Plan <br />upgrades to City facilities. <br />·For public services, staff recommends a proportionate 8% increase in CDBG funding to each of <br />the following three public service grantees: CALICO (San Leandro Child Abuse Intervention <br />Project) increased from $20,537 to $22,260; Davis Street Family Resource Center (Basic <br />Needs Program) from $36,197 to $39,223; and SOS (Meals on Wheels) from $42,203 to <br />$45,743. CDBG regulations set a 15% total spending cap on public services. <br />·For CDBG general administration, staff recommends a 9% increase from $121,916 to <br />$132,982. CDBG regulations set a 20% total spending cap on general administration. <br />There was no increase to the Section 108 loan repayment for the Senior Community Center <br />construction which is based on a HUD loan repayment schedule. Additionally, there was no <br />increase to the Single Family Rehabilitation Program which is sufficiently funded. The remainder of <br />added funding will go into the ongoing ADA Transition Plan upgrades, which increased from a <br />projected $138,094 in the Draft Plan to $203,974 in the Final Plan. <br />Current City Council Policy <br />Current City Council Policy is defined by the FY 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, adopted by Resolution <br />No. 2015-080 on April 20, 2015. <br />Previous City Council Action(s) <br />A public hearing was held on April 2, 2018, to consider the proposed FY 2018-2019 Plan, receive public <br />comments, and start the 30-day public comment period for the plan. <br />Committee Review and Actions <br />On April 26, 2017, the Human Services Commission met to review and make two-year <br />recommendations on public services funding to be allocated in FY 2017-2018 and FY 2018-2019.
