Under the Consortium’s rules, affordable housing projects within each local jurisdiction <br />may tap into HOME funds from the applicable local jurisdiction’s pro-rata annual share, and may also <br />apply for monies from the County-administered regional fund pool. However, local jurisdictions must <br />repay the County’s regional pool if their affordable housing projects receive funding from it. In the case <br />of Marea Alta Phase 1, the City Council approved $650,000 in 2012 from the City’s annual HOME <br />allocation allotment and BRIDGE Housing then applied for and received County approval for <br />approximately $566,000. <br />Current Agency Policies <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 />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />The Consolidated Plan addresses the goals of the General Plan Housing Element, such as increasing <br />the supply of affordable for-sale and rental housing, providing opportunities for home ownership, <br />preserving and rehabilitating existing affordable owner-occupied and rental housing, and addressing <br />special needs populations. <br />Environmental Review <br />National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the <br />latter when applicable, review will be conducted for each project or activity approved by the City Council. <br />Neither NEPA nor CEQA apply to the review and approval of the FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan, <br />because there is no foreseeable effect on the environment. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />Staff published a notice of the public hearing in the Daily Review newspaper on March 15, 2019. <br />Copies of the Draft FY 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan, as well as public notices with partial translations <br />in Spanish and Chinese, will be available for review at City Hall (in the City Clerk’s office and the City’s <br />Community Development Department), at the Main Library, and on the City’s website at <br /><https://www.sanleandro.org/depts/cd/housing/plans.asp> for a 30-day comment period from April 2 - <br />May 1, 2019.
