CR-15 - Resources and Investments 91.520(a) Identify the resources made available Source of Funds SourceResources Made Amount Expended Available During Program Year CDBG public -federal 714,909 Otherpublic -federal 0 Table 3 - Resources Made Available Narrative CDBG: In FY 18-19 the City received a allocation of $714,909. The City released a Public Services RFP in Spring 2017 used to determine projects with activities that are HUD-eligible serving low and moderate- income persons. In FY 18-19 there was also $29,918 in prior year unallocated and unexpended funds allocated. Note that the January 2018 default repayment of $300,000 from a FY 10-11 capital improvement loan was not allocated in FY 18-19. In FY 19-20 City staff will work with HUD to determine how to account for these funds. The City Council has tentatively committed to use those funds for the Boy’s and Girl’s Club of San Leandro’s capital improvement campaign that addresses deferred maintenance updates to their public facilities. An update regarding Amendment No. 1 to the FY 10-11 Annual Action Plan that was adopted by City Council (Resolution No. 2017-106) on 7/17/19 that reprogrammed $100,000 in CDBG funds. Unknown to prior City staff, there was a negative balance in the City's HUD IDIS line of credit. Unfortunately, the City had to use these funds to clear this negative balance. HUD’s Accounting Division indicated that the there was $68,597.85 in FY 1997-98 grant funds that were used to pay a past due Section 108 loan installment. HUD’s belief is that the 1997 grant was shown as the originating grant in the wire when the City transferred funds in 2013. The authority to use the 1997 funds expired in 2004, and the funds in question were automatically recaptured by the U.S. Treasury when the past due payment was made in 2013. On 8/9/18, HUD CPD Staff consulted the Entitlement Communities Division. Their staff reviewed the email history between the City and HUD. Senior Staff at the Entitlement Communities Division were also consulted. Based on the meeting and the information gathered from the emails, HUD determined that these funds were recaptured by the U.S. Treasury in 2013 and were lost to the City. HOME Program: The City participates in the Alameda County HOME Consortium, which is made up of Alameda County cities (including unincorporated cities), excluding Berkeley and Oakland. The City receives HOME funds via a formula allocation through the Consortium. A portion of those funds are used for administrative overhead that covers staff costs. The rest of the funds are intended for housing projects. Since the City’s annual allocation is not typically large enough to be used for a HOME eligible housing program, Consortium cities pool their funds so that they can be used on a competitive and/or rotating basis among member cities. In FY 18-19, the City was allocated through the Consortium $244,691 of which $13,980 was allocated to cover administrative overhead. The remaining $230,711 in funds were used to pay down construction pool funding to City affordable housing developments.
