The major theme of the Consolidated Plan is "housing production and basic human needs". The proposed activities to be undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds reflect the City's strategy to target funds to programs that integrate a continuum of activities ranging from homeless assistance to economic development and the preservation and production of affordable housing. The target group to be assisted is households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income for San Mateo County. All activities proposed for funding meet one or more of the City's Consolidated Plan priorities. The City has identified a number of programs that will be delivered under each priority. Funding recommendations for CDBG were based on 50% for Affordable Housing activities, 15% for Public Services, 10% for Non -Housing Community Development and Economic Development, and a statutory allowance of 20% for Administration, Planning and Fair Housing. Funding recommendations for HOME were based on 75% for Affordable Housing activities, 15% set-aside for use by a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and a statutory allowance of 10% for Administration. The City of Redwood City, in partnership with non-profit organizations and County agencies, will undertake numerous programs and activities to meet the five identified priorities of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan during fiscal year 2019-2020. The timeline for completion of these projects and programs and use of funds is June 30, 2020.
