• SP -45 Goals One final note on this Substantial Amendment, the Federal Register and final guidance from HUD has not been provided. This Substantial Amendment is drafted with the guidance from HUD available to date, including that the CDBG-CV funds allocated under the CARES Act must be used in preparation for, prevention of, and response to COVID-19. All CDBG-CV activities must still meet one of three National Objectives of the CDBG Program noted in the original five year Consolidated Plan document. The City of San Leandro is taking this opportunity to document COVID-19 as an additional National Objective: Urgent Need. In order to do this, an Urgent Need Certification must be provided to HUD with the five year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan for the year of the Urgent Need activity(ies). Documentation and evidence the City certified that the CDBG activity was designed to address the urgent need must be maintained as part of the permanent CDBG records for the activity(ies). The Draft FY 2015-2019 Five -Year Housing and Community Development Strategic Plan (Consolidated Plan) identifies the housing and community development needs in San Leandro and outlines the strategies for meeting those needs. It updates the existing FY 2010-2014 Five -Year Consolidated Plan. The Draft FY 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) represents the first year of the FY 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and implements the strategies through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

In order to receive its annual CDBG grant allocation from HUD, the City must update its Consolidated Plan every five years and submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD.

The County serves as the lead agency for the Consortium and the HOME Program and is responsible for submittal to HUD of the Annual Action Plan documents on behalf of the entire Consortium. There are three major goals identified for the funds under the Housing and Community Development Act from which the CDBG Program originated: • Provide decent housing • Provide a suitable living environment • Expand economic opportunity In addition, CDBG funds must be used to meet one of three national objectives: 1) benefit low- and moderate -income persons, Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
