COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION At its Regular Meeting on March 22, 2023, the Community Development Commission (CDC) held a public hearing to receive resident and stakeholder comments on funding priorities and needs for activities funded with the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships grant, and Emergency Solutions Grant programs in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Annual Action Plan. No comments were received during the meeting. The Community Development Commission recommended approval of the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs to the City Council by a vote of 5:0. DISCUSSION Every five years, the City of Santa Ana (City) must submit its Five-Year Consolidated Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) programs. These federal funds provide for the development of affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, public services, the expansion and retention of businesses, and for the delivery of services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In general, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan describes how the City will invest and allocate these limited federal funds for and on behalf of the community. In May of 2020, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 was submitted to HUD. As part of this five-year strategic planning process, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan each year that describes how the City will achieve the goals stated in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Action Plan covers Fiscal Year (FY) 2023–24 and seeks to allocate funding where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit 1). The Annual Action Plan describes the intended use of the City’s federal entitlement grants specifically for FY 2023-24. For FY 2023-24, the City will receive $4,808,057 in CDBG program funds, $1,605,667 in HOME program funds, and $447,249 in ESG program funds from HUD: Program Allocation CDBG $4,808,057 HOME $1,605,667 ESG $447,249 TOTAL $6,860,973
