INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: April 5, 2021
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Pam Langford, Development Services Manager
RE: P. R. #21855
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek the City Council's approval of P. R. #21855 for the
2021 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) allocations for$1,122,669.
Background:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated $1,122,669 in Community
Development Block funds for Program Year 2021. The Grant funds must benefit low or
moderate-income neighborhoods or households.
The 2021 allocation is a $30,034 decrease from the 2020 allocation of$1,152,703. Public
Service projects are eligible for CDBG funding but, funding for public services activities cannot
exceed 15%of the City's annual allocation ($168,400).
Staff Recommendation:
The staff has based its funding recommendation on the following criteria:
1. Funding availability
2. Past Performance
3. Number of the person served
4. Priority Needs
A total of ten CDBG public service organizations submitted applications to the Grants
Management division. Three new applicants (Court Appointed Special Advocates, Golden Tri-
Brothers Outreach, Inc., and Grace HUB) applied for CDBG funds for the first time. The
remaining seven organizations have been awarded CDBG funds in the past.
The staff has recommended award funding based on prior-year funding and the number of
potential low to moderate-income beneficiaries for the program year 2020.
Since housing assistance is a high priority for the City, most of the CDBG funds will benefit low
to moderate-income families needing housing assistance or repair.
City Council is responsible for approving final allocations. Staff recommendations are not
absolute but only a guide for the City Council.
Budget Impact:
Community Development Block Grant is the funding source.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P. R. #21855.
