Overview: The purpose of this memorandum is to approve a proposed amendment to the 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program plan approved by the Council on May 10, 2023. After the plan was approved, the Town identified an additional $55,534 in prior years' CDBG grant awards to be reprogrammed. The proposed amendment would allocate these funds to a new affordable housing activity to rehabilitate Town-owned units in the Transitional Housing program.
Recommendation(s):
That the Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution approving the amended 2023-2024 Community Development Program Plan for use of $685,426;
2. Authorize the Town Manager to submit the Plans to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of the annual update to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan; and
3. Enact the attached project ordinances to amend the CDBG budgets for the 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 programs.
Summary of Proposed CDBG Program Amendment
* Staff propose amending the 2023-2024 CDBG Program to reprogram an additional $55,534 in prior years' CDBG grant funds.
o Funds being reprogrammed come from public service program and administration balances as well as funding left over after affordable housing activities were completed.
o Town staff have identified several Transitional Housing units that need substantial rehabilitation outside the normal scope included in regular maintenance and repairs completed on Town-owned units.
o All funding awards for activities included in the originally approved 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan remain unchanged.
