<br /> Annual Action Plan <br />2026 <br />3 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) <br />Executive Summary <br />AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) <br />1. Introduction <br />The City of Redwood City (City) is a San Francisco Bay Area community located in the heart of the Silicon <br />Valley, a technology rich region extending from the San Francisco Peninsula to the foothills of the Santa <br />Cruz mountains. According to the 2020 Census, the City is the third largest city in San Mateo County, <br />accounting for approximately 34.67 square miles and is home to 84,292 people. Redwood City is defined <br />by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an entitlement community. <br />As an entitlement community, the City receives an annual allocation of Community Development Block <br />Grant (CDBG) funds to use for housing, economic development, public facility improvements, and social <br />services. Also, this will be the City’s first year participating in the San Mateo County HOME Consortium, <br />with the County of San Mateo, and the Cities of San Mateo and South San Francisco. <br />To receive these funds, once every five years the City must complete a five-year Consolidated Plan. The <br />Consolidated Plan is an assessment of housing, homelessness, and community development needs in <br />the community. Through statistical analysis and community input, the City of Redwood City outlines a <br />strategy to address those needs with CDBG funding. <br />Once a year, the City of Redwood drafts an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan). The Action Plan outlines <br />projects, and the amount of funding allocated towards meeting the goals outlined in the Consolidated <br />Plan. At the conclusion of each program year, the City of Redwood City drafts a final report, called the <br />Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), to report on the City’s progress in <br />meeting the Consolidated Plan goals. <br />This document will serve as the Program Year (PY) 2026 Action Plan for the City of Redwood, with a <br />program year from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. It will outline the projects to be funded with the City’s <br />PY 2026 CDBG allocation. <br />ATTY/RESO.0019/CC RESO 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (CDBG) - EXHIBIT A <br />REV: 05-01-26 LF <br /> <br />Page 3 of 107
