Summary
The City of Temecula currently receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
as an entitlement community from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). The upcoming Program Year 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan (Program Year 4) was
approved by the Temecula City Council at a Public Hearing on April 14, 2015, and subsequently
submitted to HUD on May 15, 2014. This document, consisting of a narrative as well as required
attachments, constitutes the formal Substantial Amendment to HUD.
Substantial Amendment Narrative
The 2012-13 Fiscal Year was the City's first year participating as an Entitlement Community
within the CDBG Program. This, in conjunction with other project specific factors, has resulted in
some delay in set-up and commencement of some of the 2012-13 and 2013-14
programs/projects which were allocated funding. Consequently, the City will also be processing
a formal Substantial Amendment to HUD to reallocate/re-program funds from various
projects/programs included in the respective Annual Action Plans into projects/programs
included in the 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan.
