File Number: 20-103 <br />funding recipients based on the applications and input from the Community Development <br />Department’s Housing Division’s recommendations for CDBG-funded public services. The <br />Housing Division’s recommendations were based on past performance and priority needs <br />identified in the Human Services Gap Analysis, dated April 2017 and adopted by City Council in <br />October 2017. HUD is only concerned with CDBG-funded activities in the City’s Annual Action <br />Plan; therefore, CAP funded public service programs are not included in this staff report. <br />Project Name FY 20-21 <br />CALICO $ 24,028 <br />Davis Street Family Resource Center $ 46,899 <br />SOS/Meals on Wheels $ 31,673 <br />Spectrum Community Services $ 19,113 <br />Total $ 115,437 <br />General Administration <br />For CDBG General Administration, HUD allows entitlement cities and counties to charge up to <br />20% of the total CDBG allocation. Therefore, a total of $153,662 ($768,310 x 20%) is available <br />for the administration of CDBG funded activities including the provision of federally mandated fair <br />housing services. Of this amount, staff recommends $143,662 be allocated for CDBG general <br />administration costs. Staff also recommends $10,000 in CDBG funding should be granted to the <br />nonprofit entity, ECHO Housing, to continue providing fair housing services to San Leandro <br />residents. <br />Public Facilities <br />For Public Facilities, the City must allocate $182,972 to HUD for principal/interest payments for <br />the City’s outstanding $2.5 million HUD Section 108 loan, which was used to construct the City’s <br />Senior Community Center. In addition, staff proposes allocating the remaining $166,239 to <br />continue to assist in the implementation of the City’s 2010 Updated ADA Transition Plan by <br />funding the completion of architectural modifications designed to make City facilities more <br />accessible to persons with disabilities. <br />Housing <br />For Housing Activities, staff recommends providing $150,000 to the nonprofit Rebuilding <br />Together Oakland/East Bay to continue administering the City’s Single-Family Home <br />Rehabilitation Program. The program remains in high demand for lower income San Leandro <br />single family homeowners in need of minor home repairs. In the last two fiscal years, Rebuilding <br />Together Oakland/East Bay made substantial progress in processing applications to complete <br />rehab work and expend CDBG funds. The $150,000 is an increased amount from $100,000 in FY <br />2019-2020 given that there is a waitlist for minor rehabilitation grants. Staff recognizes that <br />Rebuilding Together Oakland/East Bay is providing outstanding public and customer service <br />under this program. <br />Summary of CDBG FY 2020-2021 Budget <br />Public Service Grant Program $115,437 <br />Page 6 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/11/2020 <br />26
