Public hearing to consider use of third year program (2006-07) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) fiu-ids.
Staff explained that the City of Cupertino will receive a CDBG entitlement of
approximately $397,635 for fiscal year 2006-07, plus a reallocation of $18,000 in
projected program income. 'This is Cupertino's fourth year as an entitlement
jurisdiction receiving the CDBG grant directly from HUD.
Of the $397,635 entitlement Cupertino will receive, $83,127 may be used for
administration of the program and fair housing services and $62,345 may be used
to fund public service activities. Federal regulations do not allow the city to use
more than 15% of the combined total of the entitlement and any projected
program income ($18,000) for public service activities. Federal regulations also
prohibit the use of more than 20% of the entitlement plus projected program
income to be used for administration of the grant. Included in the program
administration category are fair housing activities. Public service activities must
benefit very low and low-income households and include activities such as
childcare, placement services, senior legal services, etc.
The remainder of the grant is available for activities such as the purchase of land
for affordable housing, rehabilitation of qualifying units, construction of
affordable units and public improvements in low and very-low income
neighborhoods. Staff received two applications for this pool of CDBG funds.
After presentations from all the applicants the CDBG Steering Committee and the
Housing Commission made the following recommendations to the City Council
