In addition, the FY 20-21 Annual Action Plan identified $617,689 in unused prior year funds that had been programed in FY 20-21. The total amount of available from these two sources was 1 385 882. 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. As a result, the U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) suspended the public services cap typically applied to Community Development Block Grants. Given the gravity of need and the ability to do so under the auspices of the CARES Act, the City used a portion of these funds to address public service needs in response to COVID-19. HOME Program: The City participates in the Alameda County HOME Consortium, which is made up of Alameda County cities (including unincorporated cities), excluding Berkeley and Oakland. The City receives HOME funds via a formula allocation through the Consortium. A portion of those funds are used for administrative overhead that covers staff costs. The rest of the funds are intended for housing projects. Since the City's annual allocation is not typically large enough to be used for a HOME eligible housing program, Consortium cities have historically pooled their funds so that they can be used on a competitive and/or rotating basis among member cities. In FY 20-21, the City was allocated $238,792 through the Alameda County HOME Consortium of which $13,684 was used to cover the City's staff administrative overhead. Of the remaining balance of $225,128, a final reimbursement to the HOME construction pool in the amount of $57,710 was subtracted from this remaining balance. Given this, there was $167,418 in HOME funds available for use by the City in FY 20-21. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alameda County HOME consortium CAPER 0 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
