Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources - 91.420(b), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction In response to the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19), the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Public Law 116-136 was adopted and authorized on March 27, 2020. In April 2020, HUD awarded the City $451,972 in Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Round I funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. In a letter dated October 22, 2020, HUD notified the City of San Leandro that it had received an additional $768,193 in CDBG-CV Round III CARES Act funds. In addition to prior year unused funds identified in the FY 19-20 Annual Action Plan in the amount of $364,991 there were additional unused prior year funds that had been allocated to the ADA Transition Plan since FY 12-13 (specifically the following fiscal years: 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 17-18, and 18-19). As of the beginning date of this Annual Action Plan Program Year (July 1, 2019) the City of San Leandro has unspent and reserved for the ADA Transition Plan $508,840. Given the gravity of need and the ability to do so under the auspices of the CARES Act, the City plans to use a portion of these funds to address public service needs in response to COVID-19. The total amount of available prior year resources amount to $873,831. After all of the funding recommendations for the FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment are adopted, there will be a total of $476,189 unallocated. The amount of federal CDBG entitlement funding significantly decreased during the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan 5-Year planning period. In the 2015-2019 Consolidated 5-Year planning period, as of the 2017 program year, there had been a 5% increase since the 2015 program year. When this analysis is done over a 10-year period from the 2007 program year to the 2017 program year CDBG funds have decreased overall by 12% (note that these amounts have not been adjusted for the current year dollar value). For the HUD program years of 2018-2019 to 2019-2020 there was a year -over -year decrease of 1%. This changes the 10-year analysis (difference between what was received in FY 10-11 to date) to an overall decrease of CDBG fund to 10%. A note on if the CDBG allocation to San Leandro is not available until after the beginning the City's Fiscal Year starting July 1, 2019. San Leandro wants to ensure that the public service providers do not have an interruption in services offered to the residents of San Leandro. According to the government -wide Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements regulation at 2 CFR § 200, contains language concerning agency approval of pre -award costs. The language at 2 CFR § 200.458 applies to any program that does not have separate provisions concerning authorization of pre -award costs: 2 CFR § 200.458. Pre -award costs are those incurred prior to the effective date of the Federal award Annual Action Plan 2019 20 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
