STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The projects designated for funding under the 2025 Annual Action Plan further the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by providing resources to meet the needs of the community, especially low-income residents.
REPORT:
Staff is requesting City Council approval of the City of Yuma’s 2025 Annual Action Plan (AAP), which is required under federal regulations for the administration of CDBG and HOME funds. As a recipient of these funds, the City must submit an AAP to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each program year. The purpose of the AAP is to outline the City’s goals, objectives, and expected outcomes for the program year, along with a detailed budget for how the allocated funds will be used to address community needs.
Development of the AAP was carried out in accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan. This plan ensures that residents have multiple opportunities to provide input on the draft AAP. Public engagement activities included public hearings, meetings, and consultations with the CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee. Public notices were published in both the Yuma Sun and Bajo El Sol.
On May 20, 2025, staff provided a briefing to the City Council on the draft AAP. The official public comment period opened on May 30, 2025, and closed on June 30, 2025. During this time, the draft AAP was made available for public review on the City’s website, at City Hall, local libraries, and other public locations throughout Yuma County. No public comments were received during this period.
The CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee participated in developing CDBG funding recommendations. The Committee reviewed applications, listened to presentations from each of the agencies/organizations requesting funds, and offered recommendations for funding. The City of Yuma will receive $984,398 in CDBG funding that benefits the residents of the City of Yuma. The Yuma County HOME Consortium (YCHC) Board actively participated in the development of the HOME funding recommendations for Program Year 2025. As part of this process, the Consortium reviewed submitted proposals, received information from agencies and organizations requesting funding, and made final funding recommendations. For 2025, the YCHC will receive $237,028 in HOME entitlement funding to support eligible housing activities throughout Yuma County. The City of Yuma serves as the lead entity for the Yuma County HOME Consortium and is responsible for administering the HOME Program on behalf of the Consortium.
Specific projects funded with CDBG and HOME awards are shown in the charts below:
This action approves the 2025 Annual Action Plan and authorizes the City Administrator to execute all documents and agreements with HUD to accept the funds that will be used to implement the Plan.
This reservation of funds is subject to the satisfactory completion of National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA)/ Part 58 environmental review - where required - and prohibits the City and any subrecipient or contractor from undertaking or committing any funds to physical or choice-limiting actions, including property acquisition, demolition, movement, rehabilitation, conversion, repair, or construction prior to obtaining the Notice to Proceed.
