PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7
7. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ONE YEAR ACTION
PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2022-23
Management Analyst Adrianne DiLeva provided a PowerPoint presentation.
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.
