TITLE:
Public Hearing to Review and Adopt Final Funding Recommendations on the County of San Luis Obispo 2026 Action Plan, Including Community Development Block Grant Funds
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving final funding recommendations to forward to the County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion in the 2026 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends Council conduct a public hearing to take public comment and review and adopt a Resolution approving final funding recommendations for the 2026 Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The 2026 Action Plan is a component of the Urban County of San Luis Obispo 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (Plan).
The draft Plan may be downloaded from the County of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department webpage.1
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 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution R-2025-082 making its draft recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for the use of the City’s 2026 CDBG funds, estimated at $30,088. These funds include $3,911 for County administrative costs, for a net amount available estimated to be $26,177 (including the City’s administrative costs of $2,106). This number must be considered an estimate because HUD has not released the final 2026 allocation amounts The County will make the appropriate adjustments once the final amount is received. The Council’s December 2025 recommendation consisted of $4,513 being allocated to the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) for the Homeless Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing, and Subsistence Payments program and $19,558 to the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO) for the Minor Home Repair program. Included in this recommendation, is the City’s recommendation to award the allocated City administrative funds in the amount of $2,106 to CAPSO, bringing their total funding to $21,664.
More information regarding each of the programs proposed for funding can be reviewed in the December 2, 2025 staff report, available from the Access Pismo public records portal at: pismobeach.org/accesspismo2
Council Agenda 2-17-2026 11.A-1
Conclusion and Recommendation
In accordance with the City’s commitment to participating in the Urban County CDBG Program, staff recommends that Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) making final recommendations to the County of San Luis Obispo for inclusion in the 2026 Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant funding. Funding for the two applicants, 5 Cities Homeless Coalition and CAPSLO is consistent with City Council Goal for Development and Housing Access which includes assistance with housing and homelessness assistance where feasible. The recommended funding awards are also consistent with the Urban County Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with staff’s recommendation as the federal CDBG funding is not received by, or expended by the City and is disbursed to Applicants by and through the County, therefore it has no effect on the City’s budget. The total estimated amount of CDBG funding is estimated to be $30,088 and includes $3,911 for County administrative costs and $2,106 for City administrative costs. The funding recommendation includes the City awarding its administrative costs to CAPSLO for the Minor Home Repair program.
