The Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) recommends Council approval of two (2) Substantial Amendments. In accordance with HUD’s Citizen Participation Plan regulations, the City is required to amend components of its Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan for a variety of reasons, including when a reallocation of funds increases or decreases the budget by more than 25%, when a new activity is added or deleted, and when the scope of any activity changes.
1. HCDD is proposing to create a new activity of "Tenant Based Rental Assistance" in Program year 2017 and reallocate $2,400,000.00 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from Multifamily Development activities to Tenant Based Rental Assistance activities.
