TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2014 Action Plan for the expenditure of Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership Grant, and Emergency Shelter Grant Funds. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City to develop and submit a five-year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and an annual Action Plan that furthers the goals established in the Con Plan, for use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Grant (HOME), and Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) funds. The current Con Plan was approved by the City Council and HUD in 2012 and is valid from October 1, 2012, 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 Con Plan as approved.
