SUBJECT: FFY2018/FY 2019 Annual Action Plan and Substantial
Amendment to the FFY 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action Plans and Neighborhood
Stabilization Programs (NSP) 1 & 3
INITIATED BY: Community Reinvestment Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested for the filing of the FFY 2018/FY 2019
Annual Action Plan, applications for Entitlement funding for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnership Program
(HOME), including a substantial amendment to the FFY 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action
Plans and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) 1 & 3.
Background: The Annual Action Plan is a document required by HUD illustrating
how the Entitlement funding will be expended during FFY2018/FY 2019 (see
attached). The Annual Action Plan is an annual update of the City's Five Year
Consolidated Plan for the years 2017 - 2021.
The City has prior year CDBG allocations that will be allocated to projects in
FY 2019 which require a substantial amendment to the 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action
Plans. We are also submitting a substantial amendment to the NSP 1 & 3 Action
Plans to use program income for land banking activities for the acquisition and
redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed properties. A public hearing was held
on June 25, 2018, and the required public comment period expired on July 9,
2018. These plans must be submitted to HUD no later than August 16, 2018.
Analysis: A resolution is needed to authorize the filing of the Annual Action
Plan, the substantial amendment to the 2014 ? 2017 Annual Action Plans, and NSP
1 & 3, and applications for programs administered by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Financial Considerations: The sources of federal funding and programs for
FFY2018/FY 2019 are the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in the amount
of $2,256,354, the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) in the amount of
$1,024,592, and NSP 1 & 3 program income in the amount of $550,677.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement:
Legal Considerations: Council must approve the Application for funding.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the attached Resolution authorizing the
filing of the FFY2018/FY 2019 Annual Action Plan, the applications for
Entitlement funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and the substantial amendment to
