2005-2006 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
Program.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
BACKGROUND
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 that serve the identified needs of lower income persons. An initial public
hearing to invite comments on the City’s CBDG/HOME Program Funding Plan was held on November 9,
2004. Another public hearing was held on March 22, 2005 to obtain further comments on the needs of
lower income households in Carlsbad and the specific proposals submitted for funding through the City’s
CDBG/HOME Program. Staff is now requesting that the City Council make the final project selections and
funding allocations for the 2005-2006 CDBG/HOME Program.
FUNDING
The City of Carlsbad is entitled to receive an anticipated new CDBG allocation of $569,566 during fiscal
year 2005-2006. The CDBG Program has $1 1,551 available for reallocation that was previously allocated
to the canceled or completed projects. The City has also collected $56,432 from lease payments made by
the developer of the Villa Loma affordable housing project, which serves as “program, income” to the
CDBG Program. Income received from the lease payments will be allocated to projects funded in the
2005-2006 program year.
The total amount of CDBG funds currently available for allocation to eligible projects that meet the needs
of lower income persons is $637,549. The total amount of HOME funding available for allocation to
eligible projects is anticipated to be approximately $288,356.
PROPOSALS
The City received 23 proposals for use of CDBG/HOME funds from various organizations in response to a
Request for Proposals distributed in November of 2004. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated by
the Council-appointed CDBG/HOME Advisory Committee and staff prior to interviewing representatives
from the organizations on January 26th and February 9th. The Committee then met again on February
23rd and developed the funding recommendations outlined in Exhibit 1.
The chart below summarizes the funding available and the maximum amount that can be allocated in
each expenditure category:

ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Advisory Committee has made the funding recommendations noted in Exhibit 2 to this report. The
Committee recommends that $1 5,000 in funds available in the Public Facility Improvements/Other
Projects category be allocated to the Boys and Girls Club for various facility improvements and $1 2,115
be allocated to TERl Inc. to install fire sprinklers in their Carlsbad home for developmentally disabled
individuals. The Committee recommends that the remaining $1 91,986 in that category be allocated to the
development of the City’s Library Learning Center. The Committee recommends that the $85,434 in
public service category funds be used to fund thirteen programs as outlined in Exhibit 2.
The Committee also recommends that $219,101 in CDBG funds and $288,356 in HOME funds available
for affordable housing be allocated to the Housing Reserve Fund for future affordable housing uses. Staff
is recommending that those funds be allocated to development of fifty-six affordable apartments by
Carlsbad Family Housing on the southeast corner of El Camino Real and Cassia Road. Staff also
recommends that $477,876 in 2004-05 CDBG program year funds previously allocated to the Housing
Reserve Fund be reallocated to the Carlsbad Family Housing project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2005-091 approving the project
funding recommendations as outlined in Exhibit 2 for the City’s 2005-2006 CDBG/HOME Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A total of $925,905 is available for allocation to the City’s 2005-2006 CDBG/HOME Program. An
additional $477,876 is available for reallocation from the Housing Reserve Fund. The City Council made a
previous decision to use the maximum twenty percent (20%) of the new CDBG allocation, or $1 13,913, for
administration of the City’s CDBG program. The Program has no impact on the General Fund.
