AP-35 Projects - 91.420, 91.220(d) Introduction CDBG funds can be used for four (4) general types of projects: housing, capital projects, economic development, and public services. All projects must meet at least one (1) of HUD's national objectives: 1) to benefit low/moderate-income people; 2) to prevent or eliminate slums and blight; and 3) to meet an urgent community development need. Even if a project is suitable for one of the City's eligible categories, it must also pass the low-and moderate-income benefit test. A project meets this standard if at least 51% of the beneficiaries have low-moderate incomes (i.e., incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income) or if the project benefits an area (e.g., census tracts, service area, neighborhood, etc.) with a majority of low-moderate income people. Funded projects are required to document the income levels of persons and households receiving these services. 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 is proposing to allocate its available CDBG dollars in the following eligible funding categories: Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing Activities, and General Administration. The City of San Leandro allocates its annual federal CDBG and HOME funds to address the City's housing and community development needs identified in the City's FY 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. #Project Name 1 CDBG Program Administration 2 ECHO Housing -Fair Housing Program 3 Section 108 Loan Repayment 4 City of San Leandro ADA Transition Plan for City Facilities 5 Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program 6 CALICO 7 Davis Street Family Resource Center 8 SOS / Meals on Wheels 9 Spectrum Community Services 10 Boys and Girls Club of San Leandro CIP 11 Building Futures for Women and Children CIP Table 7 – Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs The four (4) public services agencies (CALICO, Davis Street Family Resource Center, SOS/Meals on Wheels and Spectrum Community Services) that were funded in FY 2018-2019 are the first of a two-year funding cycle (including FY 2019-2021).
