AP-35 Projects - 91.420, 91.220(d) Introduction CDBG funds can be used for four (4) general types of projects: housing, capital improvement projects, economic development, and public services. All projects must meet at least one (1) of HUD's national objectives: 1) to benefit low/moderate-income people; 2) to prevent or eliminate slums and blight; and 3) to meet an urgent community development need. Even if a project is suitable for one of the City's eligible categories, it must also pass the low- and moderate -income benefit test. A project meets this standard if at least 51% of the beneficiaries have low -moderate incomes (i.e., incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income) or if the project benefits an area (e.g., census tracts, service area, neighborhood, etc.) with a majority of low -moderate income people. Funded projects are required to document the income levels of persons and households receiving these services. After assessing the City's housing and community development priority needs, evaluating the Five -Year Strategic Plan objectives for FY 2020-2024, and analyzing CDBG eligibility criteria, the City is proposing to allocate its available CDBG dollars in the following eligible funding categories: Program Administration, Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing Activities, and Economic Development. # Project Name 1 CDBG Program Administration 2022 2 CDBG Public Services 2022 3 CDBG Public Facilities Funding 2022 4 CDBG Affordable Housing Preservation 2022 Table 7 — Project Information Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs In accordance with HUD regulations, the City may not commit more than 15% of its annual CDBG allocation (including program income) toward Public Services. The City issued a Community Assistance Program Grant (CAP) & CDBG Request for Funding/Grant Application in March 2021 to award two-year grants for FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023. At its April 28, 2021 meeting, the City's Human Services Commission (HSC) reviewed the applications for both the City's Community Assistance Program (CAP) and CDBG-funded Public Services for FY 2021-2023. For CDBG-funded Public Services, staff recommended four agencies to the HSC. All four of these agencies had received funding in the prior two fiscal years, met their contractual obligations to the City with high performance outcomes, and served priority needs under the City's HUD Five Year Consolidated Plan. These four agencies continue to meet these contractual obligations and are recommended to continue receiving a CDBG allocation in FY 2022- 2023. The proposed Public Service grant recipients are: CALICO (Child Abuse, Listening, Interviewing, and Coordination), Davis Street Family Resource Center; Service Opportunities for Seniors (SOS); and Annual Action Plan 2022 19 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
