Redwood6.3.A. -Page 181 <br />011VCalifornia <br />founded I887 <br />1�w <br />CITY OF REDWOOD CITY <br />INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT & NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING <br />2015-2020 CONSOLIDATED PLAN & 2015-2016 ACTION PLAN <br />The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) are federal prerequisites for receiving certain sources <br />of entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Action Plan is one <br />of three components of a Consolidated Plan; 1) a community profile and market needs analysis that describes <br />the disproportionate needs of the community's low income and minority residents; 2) a five-year strategic plan <br />that identifies quantitative performance outcomes the City will achieve using federal funding each year of the <br />five-year plan to meet the community needs, and 3) a one-year Action Plan for each of the five years that <br />identifies how funds will be used annually to meet the quantitative goals. The recommendations for 2015-2016 <br />constitute the specific Action Plan for the first year of the City's Consolidated Plan for 2015-2020. <br />The City estimates it will receive $693,622 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and $211,168 in HOME <br />Investment Partnership (HOME) entitlement funds from HUD. The Housing and Human Concerns Committee <br />(HHCC) made funding recommendations based on the estimated entitlement amounts and an estimated $300,000 <br />in program income from housing rehabilitation and first time homebuyer loans. These community development <br />objectives and proposed use of funds were developed on the basis of citizen comments regarding housing <br />and community development needs at a series of public meetings held by the HHCC and consultations at <br />which the needs assessment and funding proposals were discussed, and as outlined in the City's Consolidated <br />Plan strategy. The City intends to submit its 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan and Action Plan for 2015-2016 to <br />HUD which provides a detailed description of activities proposed for funding that target federal resources to <br />affordable housing development and preservation, support comprehensive services that help to reduce poverty <br />and homelessness, support an economic development program to assist micro -business enterprises. <br />The Consolidated Plan and Action Plan are available for public review on the City's website at www.redwoodcity. <br />org/phed/housing or a copy may be reviewed at the City of Redwood City, Planning & Housing Services, 1017 <br />Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA, 94063 or by calling 650-780-7234 or TDD 650-780-0129.
