The Plan contains the funding recommendations made by the Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Each recommended project to be funded with the 2011-2012 grant is an eligible project and has been through the application and public hearing process as required, as well as meeting an established priority of the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Ordinance. BACKGROUND As an entitlement city, the City of Pueblo is required by HUD to complete an annual action plan for each of the years of the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan and the accompanying documentation serve as the City’s application to HUD for the 2011 CDBG and HOME federal grants. This Action Plan is the second plan under the 2010-2014 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Two public meetings were held to receive citizen input and to interview applicants. The recommendations of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee were presented to the City Council at the September 20, 2010 Work Session. The recommendations were also published in The Pueblo Chieftain on December 10, 2010. The Plan was distributed to Council under separate cover and an original copy was on file at the City Clerk’s Office for public inspection. If CDBG funding is received in excess of the estimated amount the funds will be allocated to CD1119 - Program Administration up to the allowed cap. Any additional monies shall be allocated to CD0932 - Neighborhood Revitalization – Housing Acquisition/Rehabilitation. Excess funding received under the HOME grant will be allocated to HO1106 - Rehab/Infill/New Construction. FINANCIAL IMPACT The estimated funding that is being budgeted is as follows: 1- 2011-2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $1,799,904. 2- 2011-2012 HOME Investment Partnership Act Grant (HOME) $941,097. This amount includes the anticipated grant of $921,097 and an estimate of $20,000 in program income; however program income results from payment of outstanding rehabilitation loans and those funds automatically go into the HOME Rehabilitation Revolving Loan Fund. 3- The HOME grant requires a 25% local match and that match in the amount of $185,000 has been appropriated in the City’s 2011 Budget. The amount represents the City’s portion of the match requirement. The County is responsible for matching their 20% allocation.
