STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
Alternative 1: Approve the 2021 HUD Action Plan as shown in Attachment 2 of the staff report.
Approval of the Action Plan will allow the City to receive the 2021 CDBG and HOME grants and use them to address local needs for affordable housing and related programs, consistent with the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. Most of these projects leverage additional funding from other sources. The Commission made its recommendations on the funding proposal at its March 24 meeting, as shown in Attachment 3, before recommending approval of the Action Plan on April 14. Once approved by the City Council on May 4, staff will forward the Action Plan to HUD no later than May 15, 2021.
