This memorandum transmits a resolution to approve the FY 2025 Annual Action Plan. BACKGROUND The city is required to submit an Annual Action Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

Our actual allocation shows a slight increase in formula entitlement allocation and is reflected in the final Annual Action Plan. DISCUSSION The final FY 2025 Annual Action Plan provides for use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the actual entitlement allocation of$1,035,721 and revenues of$108,142 in program income, for a total of $1,143,863. Based on the contingency provision on the Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan, the slight increase of $4,269 in formula entitlement allocation will go toward Emri Apartments, increasing their allocation from $77,527 to $81,796. FY 2025 Annual Action Plan has several reoccurring programs such as a Microenterprise Assistance Program, First Time Homebuyer, Homeowner Rehab, Lead and Healthy Homes Program, Neighborhood Recreation Program, Zoning Enforcement and Low-Mod Income Parks. These activities will meet the 5-year Consolidated Plan Goals as well as the Goals and Priorities of the City Council. Additionally, FY25 Annual Action Plan includes two new activities approved by Community Development Advisory Commission at the November 29 meeting to be included in the FY25 Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan. These two activities were applications received during an open application process from October 2-October 31. The two applications, now approved activities, are being recommended for funding as part of the FY25 Pre-Allocation Annual Action Plan are Area Residential Care's Penn Community Living Home Remodel and acquisition of land for Emri Apartments. Per our Citizen Participation Plan, this final FY25 Annual Action Plan is considered a "non-substantial" amendment. Therefore, non-substantial amendments shall be approved by the Community Development Advisory Commission and forwarded to the Council to adopt by Resolution. The Community Development Advisory Commission reviewed and approved this FY25 Annual Action Plan at their May 15, 2024 meeting and recommends City Council adopt the changes.
