CDBG Program FY 2016 -2017 April 5, 2016 Page 2 applications. Funding these programs for a second year will address a learning curve created by the federal requirements, provide the opportunity for the enhancement of the programs and services, and allow additional time for the nonprofit organizations to leverage resources to continue the programs. Second year funding amounts are based on the City's CDBG allocation for FY 2016 -17 and the programs' performance. Performance reviews demonstrate that all nonprofits are on track to meet required outcomes. Funding recommendations are based on a 2.7 percent reduction from FY 2015 -16 due to the City's overall reduction in funding from HUD. Recommendations and performance are summarized in Exhibit 1. The proposed FY 2016 -2017 CDBG program and budget (Exhibit 2) consists of the CRHC's funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs and staff's funding recommendations for program administration, code enforcement, economic development, capital improvements, city administered public services, and housing programs. Upon approval of this item, staff will prepare and execute agreements with nonprofits (Exhibit 3) and memorandums of understanding with internal departments (Exhibit 4) for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
