DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City to develop and submit a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) and an annual Action Plan that furthers the goals established in the Consolidated Plan, for use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Grant (HOME), and Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) funds. The current Consolidated Plan was approved by the City Council and HUD in 2012, and is valid through September 30, 2017. HUD requires that the City Council review and approve an annual Action Plan that describes how HUD funds will be used to support programs and services, which principally benefit low- and moderate-income residents, consistent with the Consolidated Plan as approved.
The attached Fiscal Year 2017 (FY 17) Action Plan, First Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2016 (FY 16) Action Plan and Third Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY 15) Action Plan (Exhibit A) describe in detail the proposed programs and services to be funded during the period of October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. The following table summarizes the funding proposed for the FY 17 Action Plan:
