RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2025-18 in concurrence with Stanislaus Urban County and the Stanislaus HOME Consortium Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan and Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029 and in support of submission to the HUD, and authorize the Finance Department to make the necessary budget adjustments.
BACKGROUND
The City in partnership with Stanislaus County (that together with the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Riverbank, and Waterford) form the Stanislaus Urban County for purposes of receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program funding. Stanislaus County is the lead entity with responsibility for implementing and administering CDBG and ESG funding.
Stanislaus County is also the lead entity for the Stanislaus HOME Consortium, established on July 1, 2023, that includes all the Stanislaus Urban County member cities and the City of Turlock. Participation in the Stanislaus Urban County and the Stanislaus HOME 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 Consolidated Plan outlines the goals and objectives for funding for the next five years of 2025- 2029 to assist low-income households and persons in the areas of housing, public infrastructure, public services and homeless assistance and prevention. The Consolidated Plan may be found at the following link.

As of the date of this staff report the final HUD allocations for the CDBG, ESG 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 the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 HUD funding and are only used as projections per HUD guidance. The 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan may be found at the following link.
