those organizations should continue to receive a portion of the City’s CDBG funding allocation. Additionally, staff receive quarterly reports from the City’s CDBG funded organizations that provide a narrative of accomplishments and demographic and economic data. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process HUD Consolidated Plan regulations require and provide guidelines for the City to develop a citizen participation plan that governs the public input and noticing process for creating the Consolidated Plan and subsequent annual action plans. The goal of the citizen participation plan is to encourage broader public involvement in the planning and allocation of CDBG and HOME funds and implementation of related programs. A minimum of two (2) public hearings are required with at least one (1) hearing to be held before the Draft FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan is published for public comment. Notice of a summary and the availability of the Draft FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan for 30-day public comment was published in a locally circulated newspaper, Daily Review, on March 15, 2019. The City Council will hold a public hearing on April 1, 2019 to receive initial public input on the Draft Annual Action Plan and to begin the 30-day comment from April 2 through May 1, 2019. The Draft Action Plan will be available for public review and comment during the 30-day period at City Hall (City Clerk’s office and Community Development Department), the San Leandro Main Library, and the City’s website (https://www.sanleandro.org/depts/cd/housing/plans.asp). The second and final public hearing was held on May 6, 2019. Additionally, On March 6, 2019, the City’s Department of Recreation and Human Services released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit applications for both the City’s Community Assistance Program (CAP) and CDBG-funded Public Services programs over the next two fiscal years (FY 2019-2021). CAP public services are funded from an annual allocation of City General Fund monies ($150,000 for FY 2019- 2020), while CDBG funds available for public services are capped and lower (see discussion below). The deadline to submit applications was March 28, 2019. The City received 15 requests for funding applications. The total amount requested from all the applications was almost two and a half times the amount of funds available from both programs. On April 10, 2019 the Human Services Commission heard presentations from the majority of the applicants. On April 24, 2019 Recreation and Human Services Department staff provided the Human Services Commission its recommendations for CAP funding recipients based on those applications and input from the Community Development Department’s Housing Division’s recommendations for CDBG- funded public services. The Housing Division’s recommendations were based on past performance and priority needs identified in the Human Services Gap Analysis, dated April 2017 and adopted by City Council in October 2017. 5.
