Executive Summary:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has approved the Economic and Community Development Department’s 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan, as adopted by City Council on April 23, 2018. Funding was approved on August 29, 2018 and will support activities identified in the approved Annual Action Plan. Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance Amendments 2019-1 and 2019-2 will appropriate the full amount of funding per the notice of grant award received by HUD.

The notice of funding approval specifies the date of obligation and period of performance for the grants, with the date of obligation for the grants to begin August 29, 2018.
