On May 3, 2010, the Mayor and Common Council adopted the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan that to guides the City and identifies certain needs to be addressed incrementally for the 2010-2015 period. The above referenced Plans and Federal application for funds were subsequently submitted by the City and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Department ("HUD") on September 28, 2010. The 2012-2013 Annual Plan was approved by the Mayor and Common Council on May 7, 2012 for submission and was approved by HUD on August 2, 2012. The intent of this process is to ensure that cities are meeting HUD mandates and are establishing goals and objectives that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities targeted primarily to low- and moderate-income persons. The 2012-2013 Action Plan depicts a year-to-year Plan outlining the goals, objectives and resources to be allocated incrementally to address the needs identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Moreover, the Five-Year Plan identifies community development, housing, infrastructure, homeless and public Updated: 10/2/2013 by Shauna Britton B Packet Pg.372 6B 2697 service needs and how those needs will be addressed using anticipated resources from Federal CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, State, County and local resources. In order to continue carrying out the housing functions, and meet its goal statements in the approved Five -Year Consolidated and 2012-2013 Action Plans and comply with the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant program requirements, staff is requesting authorization and consent to implement the following needed housing programs by allocating $2,360,000 in unprogrammed Federal HOME and $150,000 in CDBG funds. The proposed reallocation of funds is required to assist the City in meeting its housing goals in the approved Plans, and HUD, in a letter dated May 1, 2013, to the City (attached) notified the City of the need to have funds committed and expended. Additionally, the proposed reallocation of CDBG funds will not impact current funding for the Public Services programs or City funded program. The proposed housing activities to be implemented and funded under individual agreements with identified non-profit housing services provider are: Mobile Home Grant Repair Program Although the compact nature of mobile homes generally reduces maintenance costs, the cost of maintenance as unit's age and deteriorate can overextend a lower or moderate income household's budget. The Mobile Home Grant Repair Program is proposed to be administered Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE). The program provides grants up to $5,000 for mobile home repairs. In compliance with the substantial amendment definition of the Citizen Participation Plan in the approved Five-Year Consolidated Plan, 24 CFR 91.105 HOME implementing regulation, the general public were afforded the opportunity to review and provide oral and/or written comments to the proposed substantial Plans amendment. Public notices announcing the amendment and summary of proposed funding and activities were published in the San Bernardino Sun Newspaper on April 17, 2013 and May 6, 2013. Any public comments received will be incorporated into the Plan amendment; however, to date,no comments were received by staff. Current Issue• Presently, the agreement between the City and NHSIE stipulates a variety of requirements, including that the age of the mobile home be newer than 1980. The City has several mobile home owners who would like to participate in the program but there mobile homes are older than 1980. Staff has worked with HUD program staff and determined that there is no restriction on use of Home Investment Partnership (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars in mobile home grant programs. The attached First Amendment to the Agreement between the City and NHSIE removes the requirement that units be built afterl980 to be eligible for the Program. Environmental Impact: The requested action is exempt under Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act Updated: 10/2/2013 by Shauna Britton B I Packet Pg.373 '' 6.B 2697 ("CEQA") and 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3) of the National Environmental Protection Act ("NEPA") guidelines because the proposed action is required for federal program administration and compliance. Separate environmental clearances will be processed for each project as they are identified and processed for funding.
