Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution approving the City of Glendale’s updated Capital Fund Program (CFP) Five-Year Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2017-2021, and authorize the submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Background
Public housing capital funds are used for the modernization and improvements of the City’s three public housing communities in order to provide Glendale’s most income-challenged families with safe, decent and affordable housing. Cumulatively, the three public housing communities house 155 low income families. The three facilities are Lamar Homes located at West Lamar Road and 61st Avenue; Glendale Homes located at West Ocotillo Road and 52nd Avenue; and the Cholla Vista Apartment Complex located at 5320 West Maryland Avenue. The public housing capital fund grants are received from the Federal Government each year and in FY 2016-17, the City received $ 204,103.
In accordance with Federal Law, the City is required to submit an updated CFP Five-Year Action Plan as a condition for receiving actual capital funds from HUD.
Analysis
The CFP Five Year Action Plan submittal consists of form HUD 50075.2, “Capital Fund Program -Five-Year Action Plan.”
On February 16, 2017, Glendale Community Housing presented the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan to the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), and a public hearing was conducted. The CDAC unanimously recommended the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan for approval by City Council, with no suggested changes. No members of the public attended the public hearing.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
The City Council last approved the City of Glendale’s updated CFP Five-Year Action Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2016-2020 on March 22, 2016.
The Glendale Community Housing Division solicited input from staff, program participants, and the general public on any proposed revisions or modifications to the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan, during a 45-day public comment period, which began on December 30, 2016. The public comment period and public hearing on the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan was posted in the Glendale Star, was available for review at the Glendale Community Housing administrative office, and was posted on the City’s web site. The Plan was also submitted to the City Clerk for public access.
Budget and Financial Impacts
There are no costs associated with the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan review, approval and submission process. Submitting the 2017-2021 CFP Five Year Action Plan to HUD allows the City’s Community Housing Division to continue to receive federal funds for Public Housing modernization projects.
