BACKGROUND:

The Goleta City Grant Program provides funding to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and quasi -governmental agencies for eligible civic services, community projects, programs, events, and public services that benefit Goleta residents. On December 16, 2025, City Council approved updates to the Goleta City Grant Program Guidelines and initiated the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 Goleta City Grant cycle. The updated Guidelines clarified eligible and ineligible uses of funds, eligibi lity requirements, compliance obligations, and other program requirements.

The FY 2026-2027 Goleta City Grant application period opened on January 5, 2026, and closed on February 6, 2026. The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) (Attachment 1) established the available funding, eligibility requirements, application procedures, review 1 Meeting Date: June 16, 2026

criteria, and grant timeline.

Staff conducted a preliminary screening of applications for compliance with the Grant Guidelines and NOFA. Applications determined to be ineli gible under the Guidelines or NOFA were removed from consideration.

For this grant cycle, the City received ninety -six (96) applications requesting $790,426 in funding. This represents a slight increase in the number of applications compared to last year’s ninety-four (94) applications, although the total amount requested decreased from $873,156 to $790,426. Of the ninety -six (96) applications received, eighty -seven (87) applications were reviewed by the applicable Committees or Commission following preliminary eligibility screening. The applications and supplemental attachments are available for public review in the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall . The City Clerk can be reached at (805) 961-7505.

DISCUSSION:

During the application review process, the Committees and Commission considered the review criteria identified in the NOFA, including the extent to which the proposed program, event, or service benefits Goleta residents; addresses an unmet or under-met community need; aligns with City goals; demonstrates organizational capacity; provides a service the City does not or cannot provide; and reflects an appropriate and reasonable use of grant funds. Collectively, the Committees and Commission recommend funding seventy -one (71) applicants, totaling $250,000.

2 Meeting Date: June 16, 2026

Following Council approval of the funding recommendations, staff will prep are grant agreements (Attachment 2) for the selected recipients, with payments to be issued after July 1, 2026. The complete list of final funding recommendations and approved applications is included in Attachment 3.

In addition to the Goleta City Grant awards, staff recommends increasing and extending the Professional Services Agreement with MDG Associates LLC to provide continued technical assistance and planning support for the City’s Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Program.

MDG Associates LLC was selected through a competitive procurement process conducted in partnership with the County of Santa Barbara to assist with the preparation of various CDBG planning documents (Agreement No. 2024 -072). Since that time, the consultant has continued to provide as -needed support to the City on CDBG -related tasks, including program planning, compliance assistance, and technical support.

Amendment No. 2 would provide for additional compensation in the amount of $45,000 , increasing the total-not-to-exceed amount to $90,000 and extend the termination to June 30, 2027, to allow the City to continue utilizing specialized CDBG support as program needs arise (Attachment 4).

GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:

City-Wide Initiative: 2. Support Community Vitality and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities
Strategic Goal : 2.1 Provide community development for neighborhoods and social welfare assistance for disadvantaged and/or marginalized groups Strategic Goal : 2.2 Support programs that enhance quality of lif e in the Goleta community such as recreation, public safety, human services, and cultural arts

FISCAL IMPACTS:

Sufficient funding has been included in the proposed FY 2026-2027 operating budget in the General Fund to support the $250,000 allocation for the Goleta City Grant awards.

The $45,000 for the MDG Associates LLC contract amendment is funded through the CDBG program budget and will not require additional General Fund appropriations.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may choose to modify the recommendations by increasing or decreasing award amounts to recommended applicants and/or awarding funding to applicants not recommended by the Committees or Commission. Council may also delay the grant awards and provide further direction to staff.

The consultant will include the most up-to-date data available including Census data, Census tabulations for HUD, State Department of Finance data, and any other relevant sources. To the extent feasible, data contained in the County’s and Cities’ Housing Elements should be incorporated to maintain consistency.

The consultant will summarize the governmental and market constraints to adequate and affordable housing (based on the Housing Element) and provide a narrative on the County’s and Cities’ CDBG, HOME, and CoC eligible community development needs. Mapping in this section would include low- and moderate-income Census block groups where HUD funds could be targeted, and racial/ethnic concentrations as potential areas requiring additional resources.

At a minimum, the Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment should include:
