R. #20812 Introduction: The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek the City Council's approval of P. R. #20812 for the 2019 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) allocations in the amount of$1,088,228. Background: The Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated $1,088,228 in Community Development Block funds for Program Year 2019. The Grant funds must benefit low or moderate-income neighborhoods or households. The 2019 allocation is a$13,249 increase from the 2018 allocation of$1,074,979. Public Service projects are eligible for CDBG funding,but funding for public services activities cannot exceed 15% of the City's annual allocation($163,234). Staff Recommendation: Staff has based its funding recommendation on the following criteria: 1. Funding availability 2. Past Performance 3. Number of person served 4. Priority Needs "Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur” P.O.Box 1089 X Port Arthur,Texas 77641-1089 X 409.983.8101 X FAX 409.982.6743 City of 141 Texas www.PortArthurTx.gov A total of six CDBG public service organizations submitted applications to the Grants Management division. Five of the organizations (Nutrition and Services for seniors, Program of Health Excellence, Julie Roger"Gift of Life", Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas, and Tender Loving Care Center dba Legacy CDC)have been awarded CDBG funds in the past and has a solid track record of serving low income residents. IBN Sina Foundation submitted an application in 2018 but was not granted CDBG funding. Staff has made recommendation to award funding to each of the applicants. The funding amounts are based on prior year funding and the number of potential low to moderate-income beneficiaries for program year 2019. Since housing and street improvements are high priorities for the City, the majority of the CDBG funds will benefit families in need of housing and to repair streets in low-income areas of the City. City Council is responsible for approving final allocations. Staff recommendations are not final but only provide guidance to the City Council. Budget Impact: Community Development Block Grant is the funding source. Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council approve P. R. #20812.
