Community Benefit Agreements with Nati's House, Santa Ana Xtreme and WISEPIace August 20, 2019 Page 2 Nati's House, Santa Ana Xtreme and WISEPIace had applied for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for FY 19 — 20. However, there was insufficient CDBG program funding to award funds to these three additional organizations. As such, City Council approved a one-time appropriation on July 2, 2019 to fund these three additional programs. Following this appropriation, staff have prepared community benefit agreements with Nati's House, Santa Ana Xtreme and WISEPIace for review and approval by City Council (Exhibit 1, 2, and 3). The federal regulations for the CDBG program will not apply to these three programs because the funding is not going to be from the CDBG program. However, staff will administer, oversee and monitor these three programs using the same policies and procedures as the other CDBG-funded programs approved by City Council on June 18, 2019.
