Background/Discussion

As a HUD entitlement jurisdiction, the County receives HUD funding allocations under three programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME); and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). To receive these funds, the County is required to submit a Consolidated Plan every five years to HUD. This document serves both as an application for funds and a local planning document for housing and community development needs. To further ensure that entitlement jurisdictions meet specified goals and objectives, jurisdictions are required to also submit annual action plans that delineate outcomes for the use of the HUD funding

The new Consolidated Plan covers the five-year period, FY 2008-09 through 2012-13. The adjunct Annual Action Plan proposes activities for year one of the Consolidated Plan. The total FY 2008-09 Annual Action Plan budget, including loan repayments and reprogrammed funds, is $6.6 million, as shown below. Attachment A of the full Board Report lists the Annual Action Plan projects.
