Meeting: Regular Meeting of the City Council/Closed Session at 5:30 pm/Regular Meeting at 7:00 pm Item: 7. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2022-23 The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low and moderate-income persons. To participate in the CDBG program, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan that identifies needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public services, and economic opportunities. The Consolidated Plan is required every five years, and was most recently adopted by the City Council on April 21, 2020. Annually, the City is also required to prepare a one-year Action Plan that implements the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan. The proposed 2022-23 Action Plan set forth in Resolution No. 22-13 (Attachment A) fulfills this annual requirement. On March 1, 2022, the Tustin City Council held a public hearing for the 2022-23 Action Plan preparation process. The purpose of the hearing was to inform interested citizens about the CDBG program, obtain citizens' views on CDBG priorities, and receive a report on the performance of the current public service CDBG fund recipients (also known as non-profit subrecipients). During this meeting, the City Council recommended continued funding to all existing non-profit subrecipients. eComment: My name is Penny Lambright from Patriots and Paws and we currently recieve and have in the past received CBDG funding. I agree with your staff that the 3 year plan is best because it is more efficent for our organization to administor. Having 3 years of support is powerful and rare, since many grantors are still working on single years gifts. As a result, Tustin's commitment to 3 years shows investment in the wellbeings of Veterans that inspires and influences other cities, foundations and individuals to join us.
