STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

REPORT:
[Clerk Note: A motion was made at the June 26th meeting to amend the City of Yuma 2024 Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program Annual Action Plan, to move $50,000 from the AWC-SBDC Micro-enterprise Assistance Program to Unprogrammed Funds, which will be programmed into one of the approved activities at a later date.]
Staff is seeking approval of the 2024 Annual Action Plan that is required for the administration of CDBG and HOME funds. Under federal regulations, as a recipient of CDBG and HOME, each year the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD. The purpose of the Annual Action Plan is to describe the goals, objectives and outcomes expected to be accomplished. In addition, the Annual Action Plan includes a budget showing how funds will be spent in the upcoming program year.
The Annual Action Plan was developed in compliance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, which provides opportunities for citizens to offer comments on the draft plan. Citizen participation opportunities consisted of public hearings and meetings, consultation with the Citizen Advisory Committee, and public notices published in the Yuma Sun and Bajo El Sol.
A public comment period on the draft Annual Action Plan began May 1, 2024 and ended on June 18, 2024. The draft Annual Action Plan has been available for review on the City website, at City Hall, at the libraries and other public locations in Yuma County. One comment was received during the public comment 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 $947,370 in CDBG funding and will reallocate $53,347 of reprogrammed funds to projects that benefit the residents of the City of Yuma.
The Yuma County HOME Consortium (YCHC) board participated in developing the HOME funding recommendations. The YCHC reviewed proposals, received information from agencies/organizations requesting funds, and made funding decisions. The YCHC will receive $222,171 in HOME funds and will reallocate $197,853 of reprogrammed funds to be used for housing activities throughout Yuma County. The City of Yuma is the lead entity and administers the HOME Program on behalf of the YCHC.
Specific projects funded with CDBG and HOME awards are shown in the charts below:
This action approves the 2024 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 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.
