REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager April 23, 2018 SUBJECT 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan and Fiscal Year 2018/19 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt a resolution to approve the 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan and authorize the City Manager to execute and file documents submitting the Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and 2. By motion, authorize the City Manager to execute funding agreements with organizations identified in the Annual Action Plan BACKGROUND Consolidated Plan As a condition of receiving federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the City must prepare, adopt, and submit a five year Consolidated Plan (Plan) to HUD. The Plan is a strategic policy document that provides priorities and strategies for addressing the needs of low-income community members over a five-year period, 2018-2022. The process for preparing the Plan involves assessing the needs of the community with stakeholders. Through this process, the City establishes priorities and strategies for the use of the federal funding resources. The 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan consists of four major components: a Community Needs Assessment; the five-year Priority Needs and Strategies; an Assessment of Fair Housing; and an Annual Action Plan that identifies the programs and activities to be funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds each year of the five-year plan. The Plan is designed to help local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing, community development needs and market conditions. The Plan process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from HUD block grant entitlement 7.A. - Page 1
