Home My WebLink About2015-04-07; City Council; 21924; 2015-2016 Community Development Block Grant ProgramCommunity Development Block Grant Program April 7, 2015 Paqe2 regulations require jurisdictions to allocate funding according to the breakdown: • FY 2015-2016 Entitlement Grant $511,393 o Public service (maximum of 15 percent) $76,709 o Program administration/fair housing (maximum of 20 percent) $102,278 o Affordable housing $166,203 o Public facilities, improvements $166,203 The CDBG Advisory Committee recommends that approximately $76,709, as permitted by federal regulations, be allocated to eight unique organizations. One application was received for public facility improvement funds, and that organization is being recommended to receive the maximum $166,203 as requested. The CDBG Advisory Committee recommends that approximately $166,203 in funds available for housing be allocated to the city's Housing Reserve Fund for future affordable housing opportunities. Recommendations for the specific project(s) to be funded through the Housing Reserve Fund will be presented for City Council consideration at a later date. Finally, per the federal guidelines, a maximum of 20 percent of the funding ($102,278) allocation can be allocated to CDBG program administration. Of that program administration allocation, the CDBG Advisory Committee is also recommending that $15,000 of funds available be provided to the CSA San Diego County to assist residents with fair housing services as required by HUD. FISCAL IMPACT: For the upcoming Federal FY 2015-2016, the city will receive approximately $511,393. The CDBG Program is a federally funded program and has no fiscal impact on the General Fund. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, holding a public hearing to accept comments on the housing and community development needs of lower income households within the City of Carlsbad and accepting comments on the various proposals that have been submitted for CDBG funding does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
