No impacts to the General Fund are anticipated as a result of these activities. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: Administration of the CDBG program falls under Goal A of the City of Tustin's Strategic Plan pertaining to Economic and Neighborhood Development. Goal A of the Strategic Plan strives to enable business opportunities and job development and to enhance the vibrancy and quality of life in all neighborhoods and areas of the community. Neighborhood revitalization and promoting economic development are both primary components within management of the CDBG program. I:L[OL,"Ed 141111111►193 The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, created the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return Federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing adequate housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate -income persons. Grants are awarded to communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and the provision of improved community facilities and services. To receive CDBG program funds, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires jurisdictions to prepare a "Consolidated Plan," a five-year planning document intended to identify a community's overall need for affordable and supportive housing, community development programs, social services, and economic opportunities for low- and moderate -income persons. The Consolidated Plan also outlines a five-year strategy to meet those needs and identifies resources and programs that would address them. The current Consolidated Plan covers 2020-2025. The City is also required to submit an Annual Action Plan for each of the five years covered in the Consolidated Plan. The City of Tustin has not yet been notified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of the City of Tustin's grant award for the 2022-23 funding year; however, based on prior year's allocations, the City of Tustin anticipates receiving approximately $800,000. CDBG Program Requirements Communities are permitted to develop their own programs and funding priorities, as long as each activity meets one of the three CDBG National Objectives. These objectives are as follows: 1. Benefit low- and moderate -income persons; 2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or DocuSign Envelope ID: 1E4DOB21-EOA5-43C8-9C4C-746F4B204097 CDBG Subrecipients Performance Evaluation March 1, 2022 Page 3 3. Meet community development needs having a particular urgency (conditions that pose serious or immediate threats to the health or welfare of the community where other sources of funding are not available). The CDBG program, as administered by HUD requires, that at least 70 percent of the total CDBG annual expenditures must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate -income persons over a one-, two-, or three-year period, and individual activities designed to benefit low- and moderate -income persons must assist at least 51 percent of low- and moderate -income persons. To assure that activities will meet the National Objectives, HUD established guidelines for Eligible and Ineligible activities. Eligible activities include: • Housing -related type of activities • Removal of Architectural Barriers to Public Facilities • Rehabilitation and Preservation Activities • Public Facilities and Improvements • Public Services Activities • Economic Development Activities • Planning and Program Administration, etc. The CDBG program limits the amount of allocation for public service activities and Program Administration. A maximum of 15 percent (15% x $800,000 = $120,000) of the total grant award may be allocated to public service types of activities. A maximum of 20 percent (20% x $800,000 = $160,000) of the total grant award may be expended on administrative and planning activities. Citizen Participation Process Federal laws relating to CDBG funds require cities to provide citizens with specific information about the amount of monies expected for the program and the range of activities that may be undertaken with those funds. Federal regulations also require a jurisdiction to hold at least two public hearings to obtain the views of citizens on such issues as housing, other community development needs, and the use of the CDBG monies. This is the first public hearing, and a second public hearing is tentatively scheduled in April to consider the draft 2022-23 Action Plan (a component of the Five-year Consolidated Plan and an annual application for a CDBG grant), to finalize funding allocations for program year 2022-23, and to authorize staff to submit the Action Plan to HUD. Staff is currently drafting funding allocation recommendations for non-public service projects such as Pine Tree Park Renovations, Code Enforcement, Fair Housing Services, and Program Administration. After City Council's approval, staff will submit the 2022-23 Action Plan to HUD detailing the City's specific use of the funds for Program Year 2022-23. The Action Plan is due to HUD on May 16, 2022. After receiving final approval of proposed projects, each non-profit DocuSign Envelope ID: 1E4DOB21-EOA5-43C8-9C4C-746F4B204097 CDBG Subrecipients Performance Evaluation March 1, 2022 Page 4 organization receiving continued funding will be asked to enter into agreements with the City requiring compliance with all Federal CDBG regulations relating to program management, reporting, auditing, and other grant requirements. No disbursement of monies can be made to any agency or organization until expenses are incurred and documented to benefit the intended program.

On November 14, 2019, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for public service programs/projects for the three-year funding cycle including program years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23. The Community Development Department compiled a list of non-profit organizations expressing interest in applying for a portion of Tustin's CDBG funds. Staff mailed over 80 "Request for Funding" applications to various private organizations and transmitted applications to all City departments. The City received twelve (12) completed applications and funding requests from non-profit organizations totaling $550,302, for the three-year funding cycle. On February 26, 2020, the City's Citizen Participation Committee held a public hearing and considered the twelve (12) funding requests and each were awarded funding. Following the initial year -one allocation for FY 2020-21, the approved non-profit programs may continue to receive funding for two more program years (FY 2021-22 and 2022-23), if they meet the following criteria: a. Activities must continue to meet the priority and objective for which the activities are funded in year -one; b. Activities must continue to leverage funds with other sources; C. Activities must be in compliance with contractual obligations; d. Activities must report accomplishments correctly in the Quarterly and Annual Performance Reports and/or other documentation as described in current year contract; e.

A list of non-profit subrecipients and their accomplishments is included as Attachment B to this report. On February 16, 2021, the City Council approved the continued funding for Year 2 for all eleven (11) non-profit subrecipients. DocuSign Envelope ID: 1E4DOB21-EOA5-43C8-9C4C-746F4B204097 CDBG Subrecipients Performance Evaluation March 1, 2022 Page 5 It is requested that City Council consider staff's assessment of each subrecipient's progress in meeting their program goals, and determine whether each subrecipient shall continue to receive funding for a third (final) year (Program Year 2022-23). The table below summarizes Staff's recommendations for consideration, and a summary of staff's monitoring reviews of each program is provided below. City Staff has completed monitoring interviews with each of the eleven (11) non-profit subrecipients to determine if each are making progress in meeting their program goals.
