DISCUSSION Background The City's annual CDBG review process provides Council and the public with an opportunity to provide early input in the grant award process and assist the City Council with direct input to prioritize community needs. One of the main purposes of the process is to maintain an open, inclusive, and fair grant application process. The HRC advises the Council on community needs and funding recommendations. The four major steps in the 2020 CDBG review process are as follows: 1. HRC Hosts a "Community Needs Workshop": The HRC hosted a public hearing on October 2, 2019, to inform the public about upcoming funding amounts, how to apply for grants, and to receive community input on grant funding needs. The HRC discussed the community needs identified during public comment and adopted grant funding priorities for Council consideration. 2. Council Priority -Setting: On November 19, 2019, the City Council endorsed the HRC's recommended CDBG funding priorities for 2020. The priorities established by the HRC and City Council are listed below: a. Provide emergency and transitional shelter, homelessness prevention and services. b. Develop and enhance affordable housing for low and very -low income persons. c. Promote accessibility and/or removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and elderly. d. Enhance economic development (to include seismic retrofit, economic stability, low- and moderate -income jobs). These priorities were used by staff and the HRC in reviewing the applications to develop their recommendations for the 2020 CDBG funds: Packet Page 173 Item 12 3. CDBG Applications Hearing: On December 4, 2019, the HRC held a public hearing to review the 2020 CDBG applications with respect to the Council's adopted funding priorities and forwarded its funding recommendations to the County for inclusion in the 2020 Draft Action Plan. 4. CDBG Program Hearing: On March 3, 2020, the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the HRC's recommendation as shown in the 2020 Draft Action Plan and adopt recommendations for projects to be funded during the 2020 CDBG Program Year. This action will be submitted to the County Board of Supervisors for inclusion in the final 2020 Action Plan and Community Participation Plan for the Urban County. HRC and Staff Recommended 2020 CDBG Funding Allocations On December 4, 2019, the HRC recommended funding allocations of $496,355 in 2020 CDBG funds. The preliminary funding estimate was provided by the County based on available information from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The table below lists the applications received and the projects recommended for funding by the HRC, which are consistent with the previously adopted CDBG Funding Priorities. All of the applications received by the City for 2020 CDBG funding are included in Attachment B 1. The meeting minutes from the December HRC meeting, which reflect the approval of the staff CDBG funding recommendations, are provided in Attachment C. No. Applicant Project 2020 Funding Recommendation Public Services (Maximum allocation allowed. 15% of $496,355) 1 CAPSLO 140 Prado Homeless Shelter $74,453 Housing/Public Facilities/Economic Development 2 Peo les' Self -Help Housing Broad Street Place Apartments $322,631 San Luis Non -Profit Housing Housing for Homeless and Special 3 Corporation (in collaboration Needs/Mental Health Clients $0 with HASLO Stand Strong, formerly the 4 Women's Shelter Program of Safe Housing (SH) Project $0 San Luis Obispo County Program Administration (Maximum allocation allowed. 20% of $496,355) CDBG Program Administration 5a City of San Luis Obispo To administer the CDBG program $17,372 and all the approved activities associated withfunding Housing Capacity Building 5b City of San Luis Obispo To implement programs identified in $17,373 the Housing Element related to rovidin affordable housing 6 County of San Luis Obispo CDBG Program Administration $64,526 Total $496,355 ' The County of San Luis Obispo's application for CDBG Program Administration is not included in attachment. Packet Page 174 Item 12 Project Overview and Funding Recommendations 1. Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo (CAPSLO) - 40 Prado Homeless Services Center: CAPSLO has requested $73,269 in CDBG funds to increase the capacity, range, and efficiency of services offered at the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center; as well as to increase on -site partnerships with community organizations. The City typically chooses to fund 100% of the public services allocation of CDBG funds (15% of total) to homeless shelters and services. This project aligns with the first adopted Funding Priority. The estimated public services allocation is $74,453 and therefore the HRC is recommending funding $74,453 to CAPSLO. 2. Peoples' Self -Help Housing (PSHH) — Real Property Acquisition, for Broad Street Place Apartments: Peoples' Self -Help Housing has requested $496,355 of the City's CDBG money allocated for Housing projects. This funding will allow for PSHH to acquire real property, in order to build Broad Street Place Apartments, which consists of 40 units affordable to extremely low, very low, and low-income veterans. The project includes 1-bedroom, 2- bedroom, and 3-bedroom units, located at 3750 Broad Street in the City. PSHH has applied for a variety of additional funding sources, including HOME, County affordable housing in - lieu fees (i.e. Title 29 Funds), and the County's CDBG allocation, all of which will help leverage additional financing from private banks, and a 9% competitive tax credit award by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee. This project aligns with the second Funding Priority and is therefore recommended to receive the City's CDBG Housing fund allocation of $322,631. 3. Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) and San Luis Obispo Nonprofit Housing Corporation (SLONP) — Housing Rehabilitation, for Special Needs Housing Acquisition: The Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo and their affiliate, the San Luis Obispo Nonprofit Housing Corporation, are seeking $378,695 of CDBG Housing funds to assist with the rehabilitation of two existing homes in the City. Both homes have been operated as affordable, shared housing/group homes for homeless mental health clients for approximately 20 years. The homes were originally acquired with a private bank loan and general funds from SLONP and HASLO. All services related to the clients are provided by Transitions -Mental Health Association. The homes provide a stable affordable, supported living environment, but cannot continue without rehabilitation. It is not possible to finance the work with bank funds, as this would cause a substantial increase in rents which clients are unable to pay. The homes are currently under no regulatory agreement/use restriction. Use of CDBG would put them in good physical condition & enable a regulatory agreement assuring long-term use as affordable housing. Although this is an excellent project for CDBG funds, staff feels that this project could perhaps be a great utilization of City Affordable Housing Funds for completion. 4. Stand Strong, formerly the Women's Shelter Program of San Luis Obispo County — Housing Rehabilitation, for Safe Housing Shelter: Stand Strong is seeking $80,784 of City CDBG Housing funds for the rehabilitation of their organization's emergency safe house, which provides survivors of domestic violence, abused children, and homeless / at -risk of homelessness persons with supportive services. This project focuses on four key components of rehabilitation which will overall improve the quality of care provided at the safe house. Packet Page 175 Item 12 Specifically, this rehabilitation will increase safety, security, and dignity for these clients at the Stand Strong safe house by providing much -needed, enduring updates to the property itself. Stand Strong is also requesting $80,785 of the County's CBDG Housing allocation, which would allow them to complete the project. Although this is an excellent project, it does not meet the core CDBG priorities and staff recommends that this project could perhaps be a great utilization of City Affordable Housing Funds for completion. 5. City of San Luis Obispo — CDBG Administration and Capacity Building: City Community Development staff are requesting $17,372 for administrative costs of the CDBG program, and $17,373 for housing capacity building. The capacity building allocation can be used for affordable housing -related City programs. Staff anticipates using a portion of this funding for the final touches of the update of the City's Housing Element. Per the CDBG guidelines, a maximum of 20% of the total grant allocation can be utilized for program administration. The City is thus eligible to utilize 35% of the program administration allocation for associated City costs, per the 2018-20 Cooperation Agreement with the County. The two requests are consistent with the 35% allocation of $34,745. Policy Context The recommendation to adopt a Resolution to approve funding allocations for the 2020 CDBG Program Year, is supported by several goals, policies, and programs in the City's Housing Element and the 2019-21 Housing Major City Goal. For example, Policy 6.21 of the City's Housing Element states "actively seek new revenue sources, including State, Federal and private/non-profit sources, and financing mechanisms to assist affordable housing development for extremely low, very low and low- or moderate -income households and first- time homebuyers." This recommendation is consistent with this policy because CDBG is a Federal grant program and two of the projects recommended for funding are assisting with providing shelter and housing development for homeless and/or lower income households. Public Engagement Public engagement has been incorporated in every step of the City's CDBG process, which is described in the Background section above. All public hearings have been noticed properly and all outreach has been consistent with the public engagement manual. Additionally, the County of San Luis Obispo will continue to include the public throughout the remaining steps of the CDBG timeline. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is exempt from environmental review per Section 15061 (b)(3) General Rule of the CEQA Guidelines. The project is an action to award funding. Packet Page 176 Item 12 FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: Yes Funding Identified: Yes Budget Year: 2020-2021 Funding Sources Total Budget Available Current Funding Request' Remaining Balance Annual Ongoing Cost General Fund State Federal: CDBG $453,691 $453,691 Fees Other: Total $453,691 $453,691 Decisions made regarding CDBG funding determine how the limited pool of funds the City receives through the Urban County allocation process is spent. To the extent that projects and staff efforts are funded through CDBG, the burden on the City's General Fund and Affordable Housing Fund to pay for those projects is reduced. As a result, staff time and projects that receive CDBG funding have a positive fiscal impact on the City. Without CDBG, efforts to implement policies, programs, and projects to provide affordable housing, as outlined in the Housing Element and Housing Major City Goal, would have to be funded through City resources. ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council may modify the proposed funding amounts. 2. The Council may continue consideration of funding for the 2020 CDBG Program Year. Staff does not recommend this action because the City's recommended funding priorities must be received by the County by the end of March in order to be included in the final 2020 Action Plan.
