FUNDS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City of San José (City) City Council approval of both the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2025-2030 Consolidated Plan) and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan as a condition for the City to receive approximately $13.1 million in annual formula funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs; and
WHEREAS, the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic planning document identifying priority needs, goals, actions, and funding strategies, while the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan is a spending plan developed each year and supports the goals identified in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan; and
WHEREAS, the priorities identified in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan are assessed from community needs, public input, and local policy priorities, and these inputs collectively informed a strategic framework that builds upon the goals of the previous five-year plan while refining the City’s focus to better respond to current challenges; and

WHEREAS, the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan outlines all recommended activities for funding, serves as a guide for directing available resources, and completing the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan enables the City to remain on track in meeting the goals of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan; and
WHEREAS, on May 13, 2025, HUD released their FY 2025 allocations for communities, which covers the City’s annual entitlement for FY 2025-2026, and summarizes the expenditure plan for the City’s federal formula funds received from HUD including FY 2025-2026 annual entitlement funding of $13,083,062, $500,000 in anticipated program income, and $23,014,042 of funding from prior years for a combined total of $36,597,104; and
WHEREAS, ordinarily these amounts would be programmed in the 2025-2026 Adopted Operating Budget within the HOME Program Fund ($20.8 million), the CDBG Fund ($12.0 million), and the Multi-Source Housing Fund ($3.7 million), but many federal agencies are imposing new terms and conditions on federal grant recipients that would require active support of federal immigration enforcement, as well as the prohibition of policies and programs supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion; and
WHEREAS, it is likely that the City could receive specific notice requiring certification of compliance to the new conditions to receive its allocation of the grants, and thus the administration continues to monitor the status of federal funding and will bring forward recommendations to recognize the receipt of these funds through a future budget action, as appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to authorize the Housing Director, or his designee, to accept grant funding and to execute all grant agreements and related documents with HUD for the reasons set forth in the May 27, 2025, memorandum from the Director of Housing, Erik L. Soliván, for the June 3, 2025, City Council Meeting; NVF:RM2:JMD
