This ordinance relates to the adoption of the 2025 Annual Action Plan updates to the 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development, as required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The plan authorizes the submission of the Annual Action Plans to HUD and the acceptance of grant funds for various housing and community development programs. It also modifies appropriations within the 2025 Adopted Budget to reflect the actual 2025 grant amounts received from HUD, which differed from initial assumptions. The total federal grant funds authorized are $8,917,476 for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), $3,754,246 for Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), $795,737 for Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and $2,854,823 for HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME). These funds are allocated to various initiatives including homelessness services, affordable housing development and rehabilitation, mental health support, and economic development for low- and moderate-income residents. The plan aims to increase services and prevent homelessness, address mental health and substance disorders, promote equity in infrastructure and recreation, and increase affordable housing options.
