H/RED TITLE- k&T SELECTION AND FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR 1998-99 FEDERAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT/HOME PROGRAM C1TYATTY.e CITY MGa> RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 98’ - $0 approving the projects and funding allocations for the City of Cartsbad’s 1998-99 Community Development Block Grant/Home Investment Partnership program and authorizing the Housing and Redevelopment Director to submit the City’s Consolidated Funding Plan Strategy for 1998-99 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for final approval. ITEM EXPLANATION: Under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the City of Carlsbad continues to be eligible to receive funding under the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program to finance projects which serve the identified needs of low and moderate income persons. As a participant in the San Diego Urban County HOME Investment Partnership Consortium, the City will also receive federal HOME funds to provide affordable housing opportunities for lower income households. The City of Carlsbad is entitled to receive an anticipated new CDBG allocation of $606,000 during fiscal year 1998-99. The City also has !$32,996.80 in CDBG funds which were allocated in previous years but now need to be reallocated to new projects. These funds include: l $2,910 from a previously approved public service project which was canceled (Family Service Association); l $30,086.80 from the remaining balance for general administration of the CDBG/HOME Program. The total amount of CDBG funds currently available for allocation to eligible projects which meet the needs of low and moderate income persons is $638,996.80. The total amount of HOME funding available for allocation to eligible projects is anticipated to be approximately $210,183. In response to the City’s “Request for Proposals”, a total of (24) proposals, with $1,085,464 in CDBG funding requests, have been submitted to date for consideration by the City Council. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated, based upon pre-established criteria, by the Council-appointed CDBG Funding Advisory Committee, Housing Commission, and staff. A chart outlining each request for CDBG funding received with the Committee’s evaluation of the proposal and the funding recommendation is attached as Exhibit 2 for consideration by the City Council. A chart outlining the recommended housing activity for HOME funding with the Housing Commission’s evaluation of HOME proposals and funding recommendations is attached as Exhibit 3. On March 17, 1998, the City Council held a public hearing to accept comments on the housing and community development needs of low and moderate-income persons within the City of Carlsbad and the various proposals which were submitted for funding under the City’s 1998-99 CDBG/HOME program. During the noted meeting, the City Council expressed its intent to approve the final project funding allocations at a future meeting. Staff is now requesting that the City Council make its final project selection and approve funding allocations for Carlsbad’s 1998-99 CDBGIHOME program. Although every proposal submitted for funding under the CDBG/HOME program should be considered by the City, the Council has no obligation to fund every proposal. The City Council should select projects which best meet the identified needs of the low ‘ Page 2 of Agenda Bill # 74. iif3 and moderate-income population within Carlsbad. The chart below summarizes the funding available and the maximum amount which can be allocated in each expenditure category: I I AMOUNT OF REQUESTED AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE EXPENDITURE CATEGORY FUNDING I$1 I FUNDING ($1 Public Services Public Facility/Improvements & Other Projects Administration Section 108 Loan Repayment 233,475 (19 proposals) 539,200 (5 proposals) 121,200 191,589 90,900 235,308 121,200 191,589 Residential Rehabilitation 210,183 210,183 Subtotal 210,183 210,183 TOTAL 1,295,647 849,180 The Annual Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development, which specifies CDBG/HOME funded projects and the designated funding levels, must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by May 15, 1998. To assist the Council in its decisions, the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee and Housing Commission met several times to review and discuss the various proposals submitted for consideration. RECOMMENDATIONS: Consistent with the City’s CDBG Application Review Process, the minimum funding level recommended by the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee for each public service activity is $5,000 and $20,000 for public facility activities or the full amount of the request, whichever is less. The CDBG Funding Advisory Committee conditioned their funding recommendation for the development of the Join Hands-Save A Life youth activity facility to require Join Hands to provide $1 cash for each $1 in CDBG funds awarded. It was the opinion of the Committee that Join Hands should not be allowed to use in-kind services or materials to satisfy the matching funds requirement. The Committee felt is was important that Join Hands obtain more private funding for the youth facility project to ensure its success. In addition to the Committee recommendations, Staff is recommending that all CDBG funds awarded for public facility and improvement activities be provided in the form of a non-interest bearing, forgivable loan. The term of the loan shall be a minimum of five (5) years, Repayment of any and all of the loan principal will be required if at any time during the term of the loan, the use or planned use of such property changes from that for which the acquisition or improvement was made or the property no longer qualifies in meeting the national objectives established for the CDBG Program. If all requirements of the CDBG Program are fulfilled upon the expiration of the term of the loan, any and all obligations for repayment are forgiven. At this time, it is staffs recommendation that the City Council accept and approve the project funding recommendations of the CDBG Funding Advisory Committee and the Housing Commission for Carlsbad’s 1998-99 CDBG/HOME program, including such conditions recommended by the Committee and staff, and authorize the Housing and Redevelopment Director to prepare and submit the required application 2 Page 3 of Agenda Bill # /T 6fJ documents to the U.S. Department of HUD. FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Carlsbad will receive an estimated new allocation of $606,000 in CDBG funds for program year 1998-99. An additional $32,996.80 in CDBG funds is also available for reallocation from previously approved, canceled or completed projects. The City may use a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the new allocation, or $121,200, for administration of the City’s CDBG and HOME program. The CDBG Program has no impact on the General Fund. As a participant in the San Diego Urban County HOME Investment Partnership Consortium, in 1998-99, the City will receive approximately $210,183 to increase affordable housing opportunities in Carlsbad. Administration of the HOME Consortium, including overall program management, is the responsibility of the County of San Diego. The HOME Program has no impact on the General Fund. EXHIBITS: 1.
