This report summarizes and requests City <br />Council approval of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan for FY 2025-2029 and the Annual Action <br />Plan for FY 2025-2026 that must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development (HUD) for the City to receive its FY 2025-2026 allocation of CDBG funds. As a <br />separate agenda item at this July 15 meeting, the City Council is requested to take action <br />regarding the allocation of the FY 2025-2026 federal CDBG funds as part of the allocation of <br />Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) funding to local non-profit agencies. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve the 5-Year Consolidated Plan (FY 2025-2029) and the Annual Action Plan (FY 2025- <br />2026) for the use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City receives an annual allocation of federal Community Development Block Grant <br />(CDBG) funds, generally to support housing-related programs and activities for eligible lower- <br />income residents. To receive its annual CDBG allocation, the City must submit an “Annual <br />Action Plan” to HUD. The Annual Action Plan includes a listing of projects and activities to be <br />funded with CDBG funds and an annual assessment of the City’s progress toward meeting its <br />housing and community development goals. Every five years, the City must also submit a <br />“Five-Year Consolidated Plan,” which must include a statement of its local goals and objectives <br />related to housing and community development. The last Five-Year Consolidated Plan was <br />submitted in 2020 for fiscal years 2020 through 2024. A new Five-Year Consolidated Plan for <br />fiscal years 2025 through 2029 (FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan), which includes the Year <br />One Action Plan (Annual Action Plan), must be submitted this year. As a separate but related <br />action, the City Council will review and consider approval of the CDBG-funded projects and <br />activities reflected in the Annual Action plan, as part of the annual Housing and Human <br />Services Grant (HHSG) process. <br /> <br />As a member of the Alameda County HOME Consortium (Consortium), Pleasanton is eligible <br />to receive an annual allocation of federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) <br />funds for affordable housing activities in addition to its CDBG allocation. The Consortium <br />coordinates the submittal of a composite Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan to HUD; <br />however, each city member of the Consortium must submit its own section of the Consolidated <br />Plan and the Annual Action Plan. The draft FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which includes <br />the FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, for the City of Pleasanton is attached to this report. <br />Page 162 of 694
