DISCUSSION:
On April 13, 2010, the City Council approved the City s Action Plan for use of federal grant funds from
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program (HOPWA) (M&C G-
16884).
Budgets in the Action Plan were based on prior year's grant allocations from HUD and City Council
was informed that staff would return with updated budget recommendations if necessary. HUD
subsequently published its 2010-2011 Entitlement Fund Allocations which resulted in a net increase
of $632,506.00 in the City's funding for its 2010-2011 Action Plan as detailed in the following table:
