FIFTH Substantial Amendment Summary
FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan (July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020) Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Through the CARES Act, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated COVID-19 (CV) funding allocations to the City of Salinas (City) for both the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) to support the preparation for and response to the community impacts of the CV pandemic. HUD’s distribution plan for the additional funding included multiple phases that would allow for quick access to funding necessary to address the immediate crisis resulting from the rising pandemic, as well as phases that would support post-pandemic community recovery.
In Phase 1, the City was allocated $1,190,782 in CDBG-CV and $617,245 in ESG-CV funds. The City amended the FY 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan (AAP) to receive and plan for the expenditure of these additional funds for COVID responses. On May 26, 2020, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved a necessary Substantial Amendment to its FY 2019-2020 AAP to allow the City to receive and program project funding and activities.
On June 9, 2020, HUD notified the City that it would receive an additional $5,814,926 ESG-CV Phase 2 (2) Cares Act funding allocation. In order to accept this ESG-CV (2) funding, enhance coordination with other funding, and comply with CARES Act nonduplication of benefit requirements, the City approved a Second Substantial Amendment to its FY 2019-2020 AAP on June 23, 2020.
On September 11, 2020, the City was again notified by HUD that the City would receive an additional $1,209,375 in CDBG-CV Phase 3 (3) CARES Act funds. A Third Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019-2020 AAP was approved to received and allocate this new CDBG-CV (3) funding.
On December 6, 2022, the City amended the FY 2019-2020 AAP reallocating funding in Phases 1, 2 and 3 of HUD’s CARES Act resource distribution plan. The City de-obligated and reallocated ESG funding to Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter.
This document represents the City’s Fifth Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019-2020 AAP which will reconcile and reallocate CDBG-CV funding within its AAP.
