WHEREAS, all entitlement jurisdictions, such as San José, that receive HUD federal funds by formula are required to have an adopted Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”); and
WHEREAS, the City’s CPP describes the efforts that the City will take to encourage its residents to participate in developing federal spending plans, and includes guidance regarding the public engagement process to be used when a substantial amendment to programs or services funded in the AAP is proposed; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the City’s CPP, a substantial amendment constitutes a change to a previously adopted Five-Year Consolidated Plan or AAP that: increases or decreases by more than $100,000 or a 25% change in the amount allocated to a category of funding; or makes a significant change to an activity’s proposed beneficiaries or persons served; or funds a new activity not previously described in the AAP; and
WHEREAS, the Second Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021–2022 AAP is necessary because staff is recommending a change in the amount allocated to a category of funding that exceeds 25% in order to adjust funding sources to align with programmatic needs and changes; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the HOME-ARP funds originally allocated in the First Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021 - 2022 AAP towards homelessness prevention be reallocated as additional funding for the Tenant Based Rental Assistance (“TBRA”) Program, to balance the need to increase the number of households served in the TBRA Program as previously requested by City Council; and
WHEREAS, the TBRA will maintain full funding as originally planned using HOME-ARP funds; and
