SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT
AUTHORIZING PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT OF UP TO $400,000 OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT – COVID-19 FUNDS TO
THE PUEBLO RESCUE MISSION THROUGH A SUBRECIPIENT
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 710
WEST 4TH STREET, PUEBLO, CO AND MAKE CERTAIN

SHELTER FOR THE PUEBLO COMMUNITY DURING WEATHER
EMERGENCIES DECLARED BY THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds in the amount of up to $400,000 from
the City’s available Community Development Block Grant – COVID-19 Funds to the
Pueblo Rescue Mission through a subrecipient agreement to purchase real property
and make necessary improvements required to operate the real property as a warming
shelter for the Pueblo community during weather emergencies declared by the City.
This payment is authorized by under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended (HCD Act), Public Law 93- 383, and 24 C.F.R. §
570.208. .
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
By Ordinance No. 9951, approved June 14, 2021, the City Council approved and
adopted the City of Pueblo FY2020 Action Plan for listing projects and programs for
funding from CDBG, CDBG-CV, and HOME federal funds. On October 10, 2023, the
City Council approved and adopted an ordinance to amend the FY2020 Action Plan to
include the expenditure of CDBG-CV funds for the purchase of property to facilitate the
operation of a warming shelter within the City.
BACKGROUND:
March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (Public Law 116-136) (CARES Act), which makes available $5 billion in
CDBG coronavirus response (CDBG-CV) funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to
coronavirus. City has applied for and received Community Development Block Grant
CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds from the United States Government under Title I of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (HCD Act), Public Law
93- 383.
The Pueblo Rescue Mission supports, empowers, and provides high-quality resources
to the Pueblo community in a safe and secure environment. It provides services that
increase access to stable housing, food, physical and mental health care, addiction
support services, and wellness resources intended for improved quality of life for the
Pueblo Community; and
The effects of COVID-19 have negatively impacted local employment, increased the
number of evictions, and resulted in an increased number of homeless individuals and
families in our community. Acquiring additional shelter space within the City will allow
the City of Pueblo to prepare for future emergencies, expand its shelter capacity, and
allow the city to isolate the spread of illness within the shelter population and increase
the ability to respond to future emergencies should there be a need to administer aid.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for this project will be paid out of available CDBG-CV Funds, Project CDCV-
070 in accordance with the City’s amended FY2020 Action Plan.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Citizens Advisory Committee heard a presentation on the project during the July
18, 2023 CDBG Presentations Hearing. The CAC reviewed and ranked the project
during this CDBG funding cycle.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could not authorize payment for the purchase of the real property and
improvements necessary to operate a warming shelter within the City of Pueblo.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
