STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The projects funded by these agreements 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:
On June 26, 2024, City Council approved the Annual Action Plan that outlined the intended uses of CDBG and HOME funds for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The Plan awarded funds to five organizations for activities that further the objectives of the CDBG program. These agreements support the following projects:
• ACHIEVE Human Services, Inc - $72,824 CDBG - Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation; ACHIEVE will replace all of the exterior windows with energy efficient windows on a 12-unit apartment complex located at 2277 S. 1st Avenue in the Mesa Heights Neighborhood. If funding allows, additional minor improvements may be made. This will improve energy-efficiency and lower utility costs.
• Crossroads Mission - $40,000 CDBG - Homeless Outreach; Crossroads will administer a Homeless Outreach Program. The Outreach Coordinator will make daily trips seeking unsheltered homeless people. The Coordinator will encourage them to access services at Crossroads Mission and other service providers. The objective is to give support needed to transition into the shelter and ultimately into housing.
• Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) - $40,000 CDBG - Housing Counseling Program; WACOG will work with low-and moderate-income households to help avoid possible foreclosure. Counselors will work with lenders to modify mortgages to help clients stay in their homes. Financial Empowerment education is offered to both homeowners and renters.
• Southwest Fair Housing Council - $15,000 CDBG - Fair Housing; Southwest Fair Housing Council will coordinate a comprehensive Fair Housing (FH) program in the City of Yuma which includes a Fair Housing event, public service announcements, training, testing, and enforcement.
• Yuma County - $150,000 HOME - Housing Rehabilitation; Yuma County will provide owner-occupied housing rehabilitation for low-and moderate- income households.
By approving this motion the City Council authorizes the City Administrator to execute five subrecipient agreements totaling $317,824.
