PURPOSE:
The City Council is asked to hold a public hearing to consider approving a substantial amendment of HOME program fund reallocations for affordable housing development projects. The recommended housing development projects meet City MAP goal to maintain infrastructure and provide sustainable growth opportunities. City Council approval of the proposed amendment would reallocate available funding for affordable housing development projects in the City.
BACKGROUND:
Neighborhood Development is increasing its efficiency in meeting the HUD mandated HOME Program commitment and disbursement deadlines by amending the use of HOME funds previously allocated to projects that have not moved forward or that have funds remaining in their budgets that will not be used in a timely manner.
