Executive Summary
On April 14, 2020, the City held a virtual needs assessment public hearing to gather input on the ConPlan priorities and funding recommendations for the Federal Program Year 2020 AAP. The City was able to conduct a virtual public hearing due to guidance issued by HUD in March 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic that stated, "HUD understands the exigencies of a public health challenge and will not penalize a grantee who does its best to comply with citizen participation requirements and documents its efforts and urges jurisdictions to proceed with the development of the plans in accordance with statutory requirements." Staff recommends the following priorities to be included in the City's five-year ConPlan: public infrastructure, public services, community facilities, and economic development. The City is scheduled to receive $724,987 in CDBG funds for use in the City's Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 budget. The City's FY 2020-21 budget year corresponds to Federal Program Year 2020. Staff recommends funding the following projects/activities in the Federal Program Year 2020 AAP: ADA Improvements to Public Facilities, $531,342, Fair Housing Services/Testing/Outreach, $34,630, Non-Profit Coordination (211 San Diego), $32,408, and CDBG Program Administration $126,607.
