This Resolve will accept and appropriate an additional $283,175 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Funds authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The City's FY19 Annual Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan (Annual Action Plan) was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in April 2019. Entitlement communities must submit a plan annually in order to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The City received additional Community Development entitlement funds authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This $498,873 of additional funding, which is referred to as CDBG-CV1 funds, was incorporated into the FY19 Annual Action Plan through an amendment in May of 2020. This funding was used to help prepare and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by addressing needs of the homeless population, offering grants to eligible businesses, and addressing food insecurity caused by the pandemic. The City's CDBG program has received an additional $283,175 of CARES Act funding (CDBG-CV3). The 2019 Annual Action Plan must be amended again to incorporate the CDBG-CV3 funding. The purpose of this Amendment is to increase the total 2019 CDBG allocation to include the additional $283,175 that has been allocated through the CARES Act. The total amended allocation for the 2019 CDBG program year is $1,869,728. The attached spreadsheet details the new allocation amounts. The purpose of this additional CARES Act funding is to further aid in the City's prevention, preparedness, and response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Among the projects to be funded with these monies are business assistance and short-term rental assistance for eligible households.
