-- DRAFT -- 2025-2029 ConPlan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan Page 4 of 90 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-05 Executive Summary – 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction HUD requires jurisdictions to complete and submit a ConPlan every five years and an Annual Action Plan to receive funding. The City of San Leandro (City) receives an annual CDBG entitlement funding. The City anticipates receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds worth $3,829,170 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over the next 5 years. The Draft FY 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) identifies the housing and community development needs in the City and outlines the strategies for meeting those needs. FY 2025-2026, year one, implements the strategies set forth in this ConPlan and are compliant with CDBG program guidelines, 24 CFR part 91. The City is part of the Alameda County HOME Consortium (HOME Consortium), which also includes the cities of Alameda, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, Union City, and Urban County. A consortium allows jurisdictions that would not otherwise qualify for Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding to join with other jurisdictions and participate in the HOME program. Alameda County, as the lead agency for the HOME Consortium, submits the Annual Action Plan documents on behalf of all consortium members. Each jurisdiction is responsible for completing its own Annual Action Plan as part of the process. The use of CDBG funds must pass the low—and moderate-income benefit test, with at least 51% of the beneficiaries being LMI or in a project benefit area containing residents who are low—and moderate- income.
