8A Page 2 Housing & Human Concerns Committee used this information to identify five priority strategies as presented in Attachment # 2 - Funding Criteria and Priorities and Attachment # 3 - Five Year Strategy and their Relationship to General Plan Policies. Redwood City will use the Five Year Strategy as a baseline for funding recommendations, monitoring and performance evaluation over the five year period, Annual and five year goals to be met under these priority strategies are contained in Attachment # 4 - Performance Outcomes document labeled as attached to this report. Annual Action Plan A key component of the Consolidated Plan is an Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan constitutes funding recommendations made by the Housing & Human Concerns Committee (HHCC) and approved by Council each year to implement one year of the effective Five Year Strategy. The funding recommendations suggest dollar amounts and specific programs and activities to be funded from each annual entitlement of CDBG and HOME funds-the City will receive during the five year term. The HHCC received and reviewed proposals for a wide range of programs and service providers, and is recommending an Annual Action Plan for 201 0-2011 that proposes funding of 17 programs and activities to be carried out during the first year of the Plan at a cost of $1,484,258. This budget included $783,457 in CDBG funds, $450,801 in HOME funds, and $250,000 from Program income received from the Home Improvement Program's revolving loan fund. These programs and activities implement the priorities of the Five Year Strategy for program year 201 0-2011. Other state and local funds will be used to leverage these dollars for housing and supportive service activities. Attachment # 5 - Annual Action Plan Recommendations and Budget Sources and Uses for the FY 2010-2011. The Annual Action Plan identifies fund sources and amounts allocated to each priority need. A binder of all proposals and financial statements received by the HHCC are available for review in the Office of the City Clerk and the Planning, Housing & Economic Development Department. Citizen Participation The Housing and Human Concerns Committee has met the requirements of the City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan in the development of this Consolidated Plan. The Committee began the process in the fall of 2009, when consultations were held with approximately 60 non-profit and other public and private organizations and focus groups through several public meetings, one study session, and two public hearings. The Planning Commission reviewed the Five Year Strategy on January 19, 2010 and Action Plan for conformance to the General Plan on March 16, 2010, finding the strategy, priorities, and funding recommendations to be consistent with land use, housing, and community building elements of the General Plan. Additionally, staff consulted with the Redwood City Human Services Network (a group of over 40 non-profit organizations providing services to Redwood City residents) and various other service, health, and housing providers to identify where needs have changed and the priorities required to carry out Plan goals during the five year period. Copies of the draft document, meeting agendas and minutes are available for public review in the Planning, Housing, & Economic Development Department. Needs Assessment Update Process The federal statute mandating the Consolidated Plan cites the most recent U.S. Census data and special income and ethnic data Census runs specifically for HUD funded programs as the official and primary data to be used to analyze needs (based on population, ethnicity, homeless count, housing inventory, substandard housing count, etc. within Redwood City.
