Title
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/24, AND ADOPTION OF THE 2023-2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
Each year, the City Council conducts a public hearing on the City's Annual Action Plan (AAP), its application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Staff noticed the required public hearing for this Council meeting and prepared a draft 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan for public review based on a requirement to a) submit the AAP to HUD not less than 45 days prior to the July 1 start of the CDBG program year (generally by May 15 each year), and b) prior to that submission, subject the AAP to a period of public review and comment of not less than 30 days.
HUD posted the PY 2023 entitlement allocations for its grantee jurisdictions on its website on February 28, 2023. The allocation for Carson is $709,223, a reduction of $7,139 (1%) from the PY 2022 level of $716,352. Staff then proceeded to prepare a draft AAP, subject it to the required minimum 30-day public review period and published the public hearing notice.
