11. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEARS 2025-2029 AND ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2025-2026 The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the Community Development Block Grant program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate-income persons. To participate in the grant program, the City is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan that identifies needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public services, and economic opportunities. Annually, the City is also required to prepare a one-year Action Plan that implements the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan. The documents set forth in Resolution No. 25- 23 (Attachment A) fulfill these requirements. On February 26, 2025, the Citizen Participation Committee held the first of two required public hearings in the Consolidated Plan/Action Plan approval process. At this hearing, the Committee received an overview of the grant program, heard public input and testimony, and considered and provided a recommendation on the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan’s identified community needs, including associated priorities and goals, to be transmitted to the City Council for approval. Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-23: 1. Approving the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan including the proposed use of Program Year 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant funds for inclusion in the one-year Action Plan; 2. Authorizing the Community and Economic Development Director to submit the Consolidated Plan to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and make minor modifications to the Consolidated Plan and execute documents, certifications, contracts, or other instruments as may be required to carry out the CDBG program.
