The total amount requested from all the applications was almost two and a half times the amount of funds available from both programs. On 4/10/19 the Human Services Commission heard presentations from the majority of the applicants. On 4/24/19 Recreation and Human Services Department staff provided the Human Services Commission its recommendations for CAP funding recipients based on those applications and input from the Community Development Department's Housing Division's recommendations for CDBG-funded public services. The Housing Division's recommendations were based on past performance and priority needs identified in the Human Services Gap Analysis, dated April 2017 and adopted by City Council in October 2017. S. Summary of public comments This could be a brief narrative summary or reference an attached document from the Citizen Participation section of the Con Plan. There were no public comments received during the public comment period nor at the June 1, 2020 public hearing where the First Substantial Amendment to this document was considered by City Council. This section will be updated as needed in the final Second Substantial Amendment to this document. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them Not applicable. 7. Summary The City has proposed allocating its available CDBG funds to the activities and projects, described above, in order to address the City's housing and community development needs. The objectives and outcomes for each of these CDBG-funded activities are described in detail in Section AP-38 Projects Summary. It is critical to emphasize that the main obstacles to addressing the City's underserved needs are: 1) the continued reductions in funding levels for the CDBG and HOME programs, and 2) the needs of San Leandro residents far exceeds the amount of funding available for services intended to address those needs.
