Recommendation(s): |
That the Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution approving the amended 2022-2023 Community Development Program Plan for use of $715,483, including $473,719 in 2022-2023 grant funds and program income, and $241,764 in prior years’ grant funds being reprogrammed;
2. Authorize the Town Manager to submit the amended plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of the annual update to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan; and
3. Enact the attached project ordinance to amend the CDBG budget for the 2022-2023 program income.
Summary of Proposed CDBG Program Amendment
• Staff propose amending the 2022-2023 CDBG Program to increase funding allocated to the Neighborhood Revitalization affordable housing activity by $39,147.
o The 2022-2023 CDBG Program plan developed by the CDBG Application Review Committee recommended allocating any remaining balance of CDBG funding to Neighborhood Revitalization after other outside agency applications and Town programs were funded.
o The Neighborhood Revitalization activity provides a flexible source of funding not assigned to a specific activity at this time and allows us to be responsive to projects identified throughout the program year that serve lower income households.
o Examples of eligible projects include property acquisition or rehabilitation, water or sewer connections for low-income homeowners, public housing improvements, or other public improvements such as installation of sidewalks or parks and recreation facilities.
o The Town Manager approves identified projects, which must demonstrate compliance with Town policies and federal regulations.
