The law includes a special allocation of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) to enable communities to effectively address the impact of COVID-19 on their communities, especially low- and moderate - income residents. This substantial amendment No. 3 to the City's 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan will account for the revision of proposed budgets to be carried out with the City's CDBG-CV3 funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); totaling $1,193,916. It should be noted that the City's previous substantial amendments that allocated the CDBG-CV funds to activities (Substantial Amendments No.1 and No.2) were previously approved by City Council on June 9, 2020 (Substantial Amendment No. 1) and November 10, 2020 (Substantial Amendment No. 2). Sources The City of Temecula's summary of grants from HUD under the CARES Act are identified below as: Temecula Assist Program $329,916 Emergency Rental Assistance Program $500,000 Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program $264,000 Homeless Assistance Program $55,000 CDBG-CV Administration $45,000 These funds are separate and distinct from the City's regular CDBG funds and must comply with the requirements summarized in 24 CFR § 570 and the flexibilities authorized in the CARES Act and summarized in Federal Register Notice 6218-N-01. The Temecula City Council is responsible for determining how CDBG-CV funds will be used to prevent, prepare, and respond to the COVID- 19 virus. In consultation with the City Council, City departments, and partners serving the needs of low- and moderate -income in the community, this submission to the City Council requests approval to invest CARES Act funding for the CDBG-CV project listed below. Proposed Revisions of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV3 funds) Based on the level of activity in the City's current Mortgage and Rental Assistance Program, staff is proposing Substantial Amendment No. 3. The proposed Substantial Amendment to CDBG-CV Activities within the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan provides the following recommendations: Close out the City's Emergency Rental Assistance Program; and reprogram remaining funds in this activity to the newly identified Mary Phillips Senior Center Outdoor Recreation project. - Close out the City's Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program; and reprogram remaining funds in this activity to the newly identified Mary Phillips Senior Center Outdoor Recreation project. - Of available funds from closed out projects identified above; increase budget of CDBG- CV Administration by $4,967.42 Draft Substantial Amendment Annual Action Plan 2020-2021 No. 3 —for public review IPROCESS 1 1 Given the urgency for these funds to be used expeditiously on these programs with the CDBG- CV allocation, the CARES Act authorized grantees with the flexibility of providing 5-day public review periods such that residents are provided with reasonable notice of the amendment for the proposed use of the CDBG-CV funds. As such, the City of Temecula is conducting an extended review period over what is required as a minimum for this substantial amendment from August 29 — September 13, 2022. The City will conduct a public hearing for the substantial amendment as part of the September 13, 2022, City Council meeting.
