Summary OF SECOND SUBTANTIAL Amendment
TO FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan AND fIRST SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO FY 2021-2022 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021)
(July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022)
The City of Salinas (City) is an Entitlement City in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program, and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The City of Salinas adopted its Annual Action Plan (AAP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 through its Consolidated Plan process on August 4, 2020 and submitted it to HUD for review and approval. The City of Salinas adopted its AAP for FY 2021-2022 on May 11, 2021 and submitted it to HUD for review and approval.
Per the Citizen Participation Plan a Substantial Amendment (Amendment) is defined as follows:
For larger projects, over $200,000, an increase of 25 percent or more in project funding. Changes that are less than $50,000 are not considered substantial.
An increase of 25 percent or more in project beneficiaries (i.e. income groups, limited clientele groups, residents of a targeted area) or a change in purpose, scope or location which would change the project beneficiaries by more than 25 percent or A determination by the Community Development Director, that the change is substantial even though it falls below the standards in Section 1 and 2 above.
For ESG components, as long as the maximum 60% threshold for Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter is not exceeded, funding can be moved within the other components to meet expenditure requirements without a substantial amendment.
The second amendment to the FY 2020-2021 AAP and first amendment to FY 2021-2022 are necessary as the City is proposing to de-obligate and reallocate CDBG funds from the Sherwood Recreation Center Phase IV (FY 2020-2021) and Chinatown Improvements (FY 2021-2022) projects into a new project, the Hebbron Family Center, through this Substantial Amendment. The de-obligation and reallocation of CDBG funds from these two previously stated projects will be in in excess of 25% towards a new project.
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
The City received a CDBG Entitlement (EN) allocation in the amount of $2,023,911 for FY 2020-2021 and $2,128,725 for FY 2021-2022. Through its Annual Action Plan (AAP) process for FY 2020-2021, the City committed $728,633 of CDBG Entitlement funds towards the renovation activities of the Sherwood Recreation Center Phase IV and $70,000 towards the Activity Delivery of this project. Through its AAP for FY 2021-2022, the City committed $577,980 of CDBG Entitlement funds towards Chinatown Improvements and $30,000 towards the Activity Delivery of this project.
The City’s Community Development Department received a funding request for CDBG funds from its Library and Community Services and Public Works Departments in early April of 2022. The City reviewed the request and has deemed this project as an eligible activity to receive CDBG funds. The project is located within the City’s Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA), and it will meet HUD Matrix Code 03F for Parks, Recreational Facilities. Additionally, the project will also satisfy the National Objective of benefitting a Low Mod Area (LMA) where 51% or more of the of the residents of the ANRSA are low and moderate-income persons. Because of this, it is the City’s Community Development intentions to reallocate the CDBG funds from the two above referenced projects into a new project, the Hebbron Family Center, through this Substantial Amendment.
