Background: ITEM
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), through its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), issued the Coronavirus Relief (CDBG-CV) Rounds 2 & 3 - Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). This funding is made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. HCD has approximately $5.9 million of unclaimed funds from CV-1, $54,400,000.00 available from CV-2 and $ 16,800,000.00 available from CV-3 for eligible projects under this funding. In accordance with the NOFA documents, the city of Calexico is eligible to apply for up to $782,718.00 in Allocation from the Coronavirus Response Allocation combined CV Rounds 2 & 3.
The following activities can be applied for through this NOFA opportunity:
• Assistance to businesses and microenterprises impacted by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and shut-down.
• Public services related to COVID-19 support.
• Facility and infrastructure improvements related to COVID-19 impacts. • Acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, including housing to be used in response to COVID-19 impacts.
Discussion and Analysis:
Per CDBG grant application requirements, citizen participation is required to be eligible for grant funding. The city advertised the Notice of Public Hearing posted notices in a local newspaper of general circulation, posted the notices in various locations within the project areas, posted notices on the city websites for City of Calexico, social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) and physically posted the notices on bulletin boards at City Hall, Camarena Memorial Library and Calexico Community Center Facility. The hearing was also published for attendance via zoom. A file with all notices posted and advertised is available for review upon request.
The city was unable to start or complete any of the activities previously applied for due to a pending monitoring report. Although the city is still in the process of completing the pending report, HCD has agreed to amend the original four applications of the CDBG-CV2 & CV3 Coronavirus Response Allocation to the following activities:
Rehabilitation of Fire Station No. 2 [$611,736.00
Including $70,000 Administration
Subsistence Payments Program $170,982.00
Including $17,094 Administration
Total Application $ 782,718.00
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no fiscal impact to the general fund as this program is strictly funded with CARES Act - Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF).
