Redwood City believes that the pooling <br />of HOME funds and working collaboratively with other local jurisdictions is a more efficient way to place <br />these funds into the community. <br />To join the Consortium by Program Year 2026, the HOME Cooperation Agreement and Amended <br />Agreement between the County of San Mateo, the City of South San Francisco and the City of San Mateo <br />(Cooperation Agreement) will need to be amended adding the City of Redwood City, and must be <br />approved by each member jurisdiction by resolution, and submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing <br />and Urban Development (HUD) by June 30, 2025. <br />Upon receipt of this Notice, please respond in writing to the City of Redwood City to acknowledge this <br />request and begin preparation of the draft amending the Cooperation Agreement for review by HUD staff. <br />Once the amendment is approved by HUD, the Redwood City City Council will adopt a resolution <br />approving the Cooperation Agreement Amendment prior to June 30, 2025. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Alin Lancaster, Housing <br />Leadership Manager at alancaster@redwoodcity.org or (650) 780-7299. <br />Sincerely, <br />Melissa Stevenson Diaz <br />City Manager <br />Office of the City Manager <br />Melissa Stevenson Diaz <br />1017 Middlefield Road <br />Redwood City, CA 94063 <br />(650) 780-7301 <br />Fax (650) 780-7225 <br />6.L. - Page 5 of 5 <br />456
