SUMMARY:
The intergovernmental agreement between the City of Pueblo and the County of
Pueblo for a joint effort to undertake a Tenant Based Rental Assistance activity utilizing
Federal HOME Investment Partnerships Act funding to provide rental assistance for
individuals and families at-risk of becoming homeless and transition currently homeless
individuals to stable housing.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
No previous Council action has been taken.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo and Pueblo County, since the inception of the federal HOME
Program in 1992, have operated under a Consortium agreement whereby the HOME
funds have been shared on a percentage basis. While the City of Pueblo is the
Entitlement Community, there have been mutual benefits in continuing this
administrative arrangement. The City as the Participating Jurisdiction acts in a
representative capacity, and therefore assumes overall responsibility for ensuring that
the Consortium’s HOME Program (City and County programs) is carried out in
compliance with the requirements of the HOME Program regulations, including
requirements concerning a Consolidated Plan.
Collaboratively administering the TBRA program will streamline the operation of the
program and consolidate future monitoring responsibilities. The City assumes this
responsibility. Pueblo County authorizes the City to expend their HOME funds, located
in Project account No. HO2130 in the amount of $66,978.83, along with the required
HOME match of $22,326.17 due from the County.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
With approval of this ordinance, the City will expend $100,000 in HOME program funds
on the TBRA activity along with an additional $89,305 from Pueblo County for a total
funding amount of $189,305.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City could elect not to enter into the agreement with Pueblo County.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
