1. Introduction
NOTE: Only the sections of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan that have been amended are outlined in this Substantial Amendment. Unless otherwise noted, all other sections of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan have not changed.
The City of Santa Clara (City) is an entitlement city that receives federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban and Development (HUD). The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME and Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds. The City is required to develop a 5‐Year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) that identifies the goals and needs of the community. During the ConPlan cycle, the City must develop Annual Action Plans (AAPs) which detail projects and activities to be funded in during the program year in support of the identified goals and needs.
When proposing significant changes to a previously approved plan, the City must complete a Substantial Amendment. The public is given at least a 30‐day Review Period to provide comment on the Substantial Amendment and its proposed changes, and the Substantial Amendment is presented at a public at a public hearing (i.e., City Council meeting).
Changes to the 2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan include, but are not limited to:
– Reprogramming of CDBG funds previously programmed for the City’s Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program (NCIP) to projects and activities that address the ConPlan Goal of improving Public Facilities.
– Adjustment to the estimated CDBG Program Income amount. – Adjustments to the estimated CDBG and HOME Prior Year Resources amounts. – Adjustments to the Expected Resources totals for HOME and CDBG funding. – Adjustments to the Goal Outcome Indicators affected by the adjustments to the amounts referenced above.
2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan – Substantial Amendment 4
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Substantial Amendment is required to have a 30‐day Review Period, and the plan must be presented at a public hearing for approval.
30‐Day Review Period. The 30‐day Review Period was noticed in the Santa Clara Weekly on March 2,
2022, and the Substantial Amendment was also sent to community non‐profit partners. The Review Period began on March 2, 2022 was completed on April 5, 2022. The Substantial Amendment was made available to the public on the City’s website, and at various locations throughout the City including City Hall, the Central Library, and at the offices of the Housing & Community Services Division.
Public Hearing. A public hearing is scheduled for April 5, 2022 at the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.
The 30‐Day Review Period, the public noticing and the public hearing satisfies the requirements noted in the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, and the requirements set by HUD.

TBD
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them The City did not receive any public comments that were not accepted. The City attempted to incorporate all feedback received through outreach efforts into the Plan.
7. Summary
HUD requires that CDBG grantees carry out their program in a timely manner. “Timely performance” is measured by the rate of expenditure of its CDBG funds from the grantee’s Line of Credit. A CDBG Entitlement grantee, in accordance with the CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.902 must have a balance no greater than one and one‐half (1.5) times its annual grant remaining in the line of credit, 60 days prior to the end of the program year which is on or around May 1st.
Due to pandemic, the City has seen a significant reduction in requests for services for the Neighborhood Conservation Improvement Program. In the same time period, the City has receipted more program income than anticipated. Due to these two factors, the City will not be able to meet its timeliness performance requirement for 2021‐2022. When a grantee does not meet its timely performance test, HUD requires that the City create a plan to meet its timeliness performance for the following year. These proposed changes in this Substantial Amendment will help to address the City’s timeliness issues.
2021‐2022 Annual Action Plan – Substantial Amendment 5 AP‐15 Expected Resources – 91.220 (c) (1,2)
1. Introduction
The amendments to this Expected Resources section (i.e., Program Income and Prior Year Resources) shown in table AP‐ 15 below are based on known amounts. When Annual Action Plans are drafted, Program Income and Prior Year Resources are estimates. Due to the proposed amendments related to the NCIP program and Public Facilities Improvements which initiated the need for this Substantial Amendment, the City has taken the opportunity to amend estimated amounts of Expected Resources to known amounts.
CDBG Funds: The total amount of CDBG resources expected to be available for FY21/22 is $1,717,699$1,261,020. This total is made up of the annual CDBG entitlement from HUD, Prior Year Resources (i.e., funds that are being re‐programmed and/or funds that were programmed but not spent), and Program Income (i.e., income generated from prior CDBG projects such as loan repayments).
‐ Annual Entitlement Funds $1,074,699
‐ Estimated Prior Year Balance $ 193,000$81,321
‐ Estimated FY21/22 Program Income $ 450,000$105,000

Introduction
For the purpose of this section, the term “affordable housing” is defined in the HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership.
The City of Santa Clara has identified the production and maintenance of affordable housing as the primary objective for the
expenditure of federal funds in the Consolidated Plan. While CDBG and HOME funds are limited, the City will continue to allocate funding to affordable housing projects, including owner‐occupied rehabilitation. The City has non‐federal funding sources that it will use toward the development of affordable housing during Fiscal Year 2021‐2022.
