Annual Action Plan <br />2019 <br />4 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br />capital improvement campaign with the goal of a full renovation of the 28,500 square foot San Leandro <br />facility. All remaining funds will be committed to the City-facility ADA upgrade program. If there is <br />another organization that submits an application to the City with a public facility in need of repairs or <br />rehabilitation the City will consider providing additional funding to other eligible public facilities. <br />For Housing Activities, staff recommends providing $100,000 of CDBG funds to fund City's Single-Family <br />Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program, which provides minor repair grants to extremely low- and very- <br />low income San Leandro homeowners. <br />The City's administration funding for FY 2019-2020 of $XXX,XXX adheres to the HUD-regulated 20% <br />spending cap on general administration. The City will allocate approximately $XXX,XXX to City staffing <br />for program administration. As a CDBG entitlement recipient, the City is required by HUD to <br />affirmatively further fair housing. Staff proposes to allocate $10,000 to support Eden Council for Hope <br />and Opportunity (ECHO Housing) to provide fair housing services to San Leandro residents. <br />Additionally, the City will have an allocation of $XXX,XXX in HOME funds from the Alameda County <br />HOME Consortium. In order to comply with encumbrance and expenditure rules of the HOME program, <br />these funds are combined with all the HOME Consortium member cities into a pool of funds. These <br />funds can be used by any HOME Consortium member City who has an opportunity site ready for <br />purchase or an affordable housing development with a funding gap. HOME funds can be used for <br />acquisition, rehabilitation, and/or new construction of affordable rental housing as well as tenant-based <br />rental assistance to serve lower income households. In FY 2015-2016 the City used $256,761 of the <br />HOME Consortium pool of funds to assist BRIDGE Housing’s 85-unit La Vereda (formerly San Leandro <br />Senior Housing) development. The City’s HOME allocation for FY 2019-2020 will be the last installment <br />of funds used to repay this and two other allocations made by the HOME consortium in the last eight <br />years. <br />3. Evaluation of past performance <br />The City of San Leandro’s FY 2019-2020 Action Plan is the last year of a five-year planning cycle. The <br />most recent required Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) was completed <br />for the FY 2017-2018 Action Plan and was approved by HUD in late 2018. The FY 2018-2019 Action Plan <br />recommended substantially similar programs as those recommended in the FY 2019-2020 Action Plan. <br />The CAPER for FY 2017-2018 found that all of the program activities were successful to the extent that <br />those organizations should continue to receive a portion of the City’s CDBG funding allocation. <br />Additionally, staff receive quarterly reports from the City’s CDBG funded organizations that provide a <br />narrative of accomplishments and demographic and economic data. <br />4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process <br />HUD Consolidated Plan regulations require and provide guidelines for the City to develop a citizen <br />participation plan that governs the public input and noticing process for creating the Consolidated Plan
