• AP-35 Protects • AP-38 Project Summary HUD's CDBG allocation to the City was announced on April 15, 2019. The FY 2019-2020 for CDBG funding amount decreased just over 1% from last year's amount (from $714,909 to $707,517). The FY 2019-2020 HOME funding amount decreased 9% from last year's pro -rated share from Alameda County HOME consortium of $244,691 to a total allocation of $221,998. HOME funds are available for general administration and affordable housing projects as part of the Alameda County HOME Consortium. Staff analysis of the City's HUD funding shows that there is $364,991 unused prior year CDBG funds that will be carried forward with recommended allocations in FY 2019-2020. These prior year funds consist mainly of unused general program administration and public services funding from FY 2014-2015 and prior years, FY 2015-2016, and FY 2017-2018. There was an unexpected repayment of $300,000 from a 2009 capital improvement loan received by the City in January 2018. Staff consulted with HUD and received a HUD determination that these funds are not program income but rather a reimbursement based on a defaulted loan agreement. Additionally, In FY 2018-2019 the City received $35,424 in program income derived from the repayment of a CDBG rehabilitation loan that was made to a low- income San Leandro homeowner in 1993. This loan was repaid upon the sale of the property by the owner's estate. Therefore, the total available for CDBG allocation for FY 2019-2020 is $1,107,933. 2.
