ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Request to APPROVE a Substantial Amendment to the 2020 HUD CONSOLIDATED PLAN and 2021 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.
Body
BACKGROUND: The purpose of these substantial amendments is to reallocate funding in the plans to reflect programs and projects previously approved by City Council for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and CDBG COVID funds.
The Consolidated Plan outlines how funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be spent over five years.

It also updates the outcome goals to reflect the changes in funding for these projects.
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan of how that year's funding will be spent on projects and goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The amendment to the 2021 Annual Action Plan reallocates CDBG funding to Public Facility projects for the CDBG portion of the Non-Profit Capital Program (Item #22-041) that was previously approved by Council. The specific allocations of this funding will be determined by the CDBG Public Service Advisory Commission.
