Proposed Changes to the Draft FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan ·AP-15 Expected Resources discussing CARES Act and additional HUD guidance and authority to the City to use CDBG funding for COVID-19 relief. This section identifies prior year un-used CDBG funding that will be re-allocated from the ongoing ADA Transition Plan to COVID relief activities; ·AP-20 Annual Goals further defined existing identified goals in response to HUD guidance and COVID-19 response; ·AP-35 Projects were edited per guidance to staff from HUD technical assistance to be less specific about the entity funded to allow for more flexibility. Consequently, staff may re-allocate funds from within an identified Project if a HUD subgrantee does not achieve goals/expend funding as outlined in the Action Plan. There are no substantive changes recommended involving HOME funds. The City’s CDBG entitlement grant from HUD for FY 2020-21 is $768,310. There is no projected CDBG program income. There are unallocated CDBG funds from prior years of $617,689. The City will receive $238,792 in HOME funds from the Alameda County HOME Consortium. The proposed CDBG-funded activities in the FY 2020-21 Action Plan fall into the following eligible funding categories: Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing, and General Administration. In addition, given the lifting of the Public Services funding cap, the City is taking a one-time action to assist the following social service providers in the dollar amounts listed below. These service providers address the critical and basic needs for primarily lower income households severely impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis: food distribution, mental health services, domestic violence services and rental housing payment relief/assistance. City staff made its public service funding increase recommendations based on the following criteria for eligible nonprofits: 1) has experienced or is anticipating increased service demand related to food supply/distribution, mental health counseling, domestic violence services, 2) has been publicly vetted under the current two year FY 2019-2021 Community Assistance Program (CAP) grant funding cycle, and/or 3) has capacity and experience to comply with federal CDBG administrative requirements.
