The Draft FY 2022-2023 Plan was presented to the City Council at a public hearing on March 21, 2022. The City Council noted that the plan would be available for public comment for a 30-day period from March 21 through April 25, 2022, but due to delay from HUD in announcing the CDBG allocation nationally, it was instead made available through June 20, 2022. The draft Plan was also available for public review at the City of San Leandro’s website: (<https://www.sanleandro.org/292/Housing-Plans>). Staff noted that the second public hearing to review the final Plan would be at the City Council meeting held on May 2, 2022, but due to unforeseen delays by HUD, the meeting was postponed to June 21, 2022. HUD announced CDBG allocations nationally in May 2022 and the City’s FY 2022-2023 allocation is $747,498. The FY 2022-2023 CDBG entitlement grant funding amount decreased by over 2% from last year’s amount ($763,357 to $747,498). There are unused general program administration and public services funding from FY 2020-2021 ($10,846) and FY 2021-2022 ($129,779) for $140,625 that will be carried forward with recommended allocations in FY 2022-2023. Finally, there was an unexpected repayment in the amount of $14,103 for a 1998 CDBG housing rehab loan. Therefore, the total available for CDBG allocation for FY 2022-2023 is $902,226. The FY 2022-2023 HOME funding amount increased from $224,884 to $245,827, approximately 9.3% from last year’s pro-rata share. In addition, there are $331,319 remaining from FY 2021-2022 funding allocation. HOME funds are available for general administration and affordable housing projects. Administrative overhead dedicated to City staffing is $14,041. The City will allocate $549,105 (available in HOME funds) to acquisition and rehabilitation of the Nimitz Motel (Lewelling Shelter) for use as an interim shelter and drop-in navigation center for San Leandro residents experiencing chronic homelessness. Four of the agreements are part of the CDBG public services budget, while one of the agreements is part of the CDBG housing budget (see below).
