STAFF RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula
basis to eligible cities and counties to improve the living conditions for low and moderate - income persons.
Recipient communities develop their own programs and funding priorities. In the 2020–2024 Consolidated Plan
submitted to HUD, the City prioritized the use of these funds to further its affordable housing goals and provide
public services for persons experiencing homelessness and persons most at risk of homelessness.
The HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) provides annual grants on a formula basis to
Participating Jurisdictions to implement local housing strategies designed to increase homeownership and
housing opportunity for low and very low-income residents. These funds are used annually to further the
affordable housing goals outlined in the Housing Strategic Plan.
On May 13, 2022, HUD released the formula allocations for both the CDBG and HOME programs. This
appropriation includes $1,120,412 for CDBG and $803,409 for HOME. Additionally, the City receives annual
repayments into the CDBG & HOME programs, referred to as Program Income (PI), through the payoffs of
Home Buyer Assistance (HBA) loans and loan payments on affordable housing projects. These payments go
back to their respective programs for re-allocation to eligible projects. Since April 1, 2021, the CDBG program
has received $79,461 in Program Income and the HOME Program has received $186,484 in Program Income.
Ordinance No. 068, 2022, appropriates a total of $1,199,873 into the CDBG Program, which includes the
Agenda Item 11
Item # 11 Page 2
Entitlement Award of $1,120,412 and $79,461 from Program Income.
Ordinance No. 069, 2022, appropriates a total of $989,833 into the HOME Program, which includes the
Entitlement Award of $803,409 and $186,484 from Program Income.
These funds are allocated through an annual Competitive Process, with funding recommendations being made
to Council by the Human Services and Housing Funding Board. Recommendations for the use of these funds
will be presented to Council at its regular meeting on June 21, 2022.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This item will appropriate $2,189,766 in federal funding to the City of Fort Collins which will be allocated to
housing and community development related programs and projects and administration of the funds, thereby
reducing the demand on the City’s General Fund budget to address such needs.
