File Number: 22-119 there are three major goals identified for the funds: 1) Provide decent housing; 2) Provide a suitable living environment; and 3) Expand economic opportunity. In addition, CDBG funds must be used to meet one of three national objectives: 1) Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; 2) Aid in the prevention of slum and blight; or 3) Meet an urgent need. HOME funds must be used specifically for housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons. To date, HUD has not yet announced the City’s CDBG allocation. It is expected that the FY 2022-2023 CDBG funding amount will be around $750,000, similarly to FY 2021-2022. The FY 2022-2023 HOME funding amount is announced simultaneously with CDBG Funding. It is expected that, based on FY 2021-2022, the City will receive an estimated $250,000 as its pro-rata share from the Alameda County HOME Consortium. HOME funds are available for general administration and affordable housing projects as part of the Alameda County HOME Consortium.
