PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #11.A
SUBJECT/TITLE:
PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMUNITY REQUESTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO 2023 ACTION PLAN,
INCLUDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution making final recommendations to the County of San Luis Obispo for the 2023 Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant funding.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this public hearing is for the Council to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the Urban County of San Luis Obispo 2021-2023 Consolidated Plan (Plan) that includes the 2023 Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The draft Plan may be downloaded from the County Planning and Building Department’s website at www.slocounty.ca.gov/planning .
To comply with federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements, the County prepares the Plan, which identifies funding policies and objectives for the annual allocations of HUD grant programs, including the CDBG program.
On December 6, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution R-2021-105, making its draft recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for the use of the City’s 2023 CDBG funds, estimated at $51,083. These funds include $4,334 for County administrative costs, for a net amount available estimated to be $46,749 (including the City’s administrative costs of $2,278). This number must be considered an estimate because HUD has not released the final 2023 allocation amounts. The County will make the appropriate adjustments once the final amount is received. The Council’s recommendation consisted of $5,191 being allocated to the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) for the Homeless Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing, and Subsistence Payments program and $41,559 to the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO) for the Minor Home Repair program.
More information regarding each of the programs proposed for funding can be reviewed in the December 6, 2022 staff report, available from the Access Pismo public records portal at www.pismobeach.org/accesspismo.1
Conclusion and Recommendation

opportunity to speak on the Plan and the 2023 Action Plan and then adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) confirming its final recommendation for use of the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated amount of CDBG funding is $51,083 and includes $4,334 for County administrative costs and $2,278 for City administrative costs. However, at its December 6, 2022, meeting, the City Council allocated the City’s administrative cost amount to CAPSLO for the Minor Home Repair program since it determined that there would be no City costs to administer the specified programs beyond staff report preparation. The County receives and allocates the funding so there is no direct fiscal impact to the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Revise staff’s recommended funding amounts, then adopt the Resolution.
