At this meeting, the City Council will receive public comment on the draft 2019-2020 HUD Annual Action Plan that is to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved the City of Riverside's Five-Year Consolidated Plan in 2015. The Consolidated Plan provides an inventory of existing programs and activities, resources, demographics, unmet needs, and identifies strategies and resources [such as Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG), HOME, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG)] needed to continue implementing existing programs and activities and to formulate programs and activities needed to address the unmet needs. Since the approval of the Consolidated Plan, it is the Annual Action Plan that incrementally addresses and implements identified programs and activities prepared and submitted to HUD for approval.
The Annual Action Plan prepared for 2019-2020 implements the strategy and goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.
Federal Regulation 24 CFR 91.105 requires the City to notify and provide its citizens an opportunity to comment and provide input on proposed changes to an approved plan.
This notice serves this purpose and allows the City to comply with the law. The proposed Substantial Amendment to the approved Plan affected by this Notice will allow the City to cancel the Ward 5 Sidewalk Improvements to Sequoia St. and Estrellita St. and its allocation of $142,314 and replace it with the Ward 5 Street Improvements to Shelby Dr., Crystal Ave., Snowberry St., and Monteel Pl. for $194,250.
