RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2024-21 of concurrence and support of the Stanislaus Urban County and Stanislaus HOME Consortium Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Patterson is a member of the Stanislaus Urban County CDBG and HOME Consortium, consisting of Stanislaus County, the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Riverbank and Waterford. Participation in the Consortium enables the County and Participating Jurisdictions to access funds directly from the federal government for the Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs, rather than compete for funds through the State. The FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan covers both CDBG and HOME Programs. As of the date of this staff report, the final HUD allocation for the CDBG and HOME programs had not been released. Once released, the funding allocations for all members of the Urban County and Consortium will be adjusted proportionally.
The estimated funding allocations in the Draft AAP are based on Fiscal Year 2023-2024 HUD funding and are only used as projections per HUD guidance.
CDBG
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, it is anticipated that the City o f P a t t e r s o n will be allocated approximately $181,638 under the CDBG Program (see attached allocation chart).

The City of Patterson's CDBG allocation for FY 2024-2025 will be utilized for the continuation of the Washburn Infrastructure Project consisting of infrastructure improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, and ADA improvements). During FY 2024-2025 staff will also initiate environmental work and design for Apricot Estates Infrastructure Project; which is an extension of the improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, and ADA improvements) under the Washburn Infrastructure Project. A portion of the CDBG allocation ($5,000) is earmarked for administration.
