end
Background and Discussion:
In accordance with 24 CFR Part 91, the Consolidated Planning regulation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all participating jurisdictions have a long range Consolidated Plan that identifies housing, homelessness, and community development needs and resources, and establishes a strategic plan for meeting those needs. In addition, HUD requires all participating jurisdictions provide an annual update to the Consolidated Plan. This one-year plan (Annual Action Plan) must explain how the jurisdiction will address its service area residents’ needs, community revitalization efforts, and the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan over the next program year. The Annual Action Plan also describes how the jurisdiction will spend its community and housing funds and the federal, state and local resources available, and how these resources will be utilized to implement the County’s community development program. To secure the County’s annual Entitlement Grant funds, HUD requires the submission of the Program Year 2023 Annual Action Plan (PY2023 AAP).
Based on PY2022 HUD Award amounts, Harris County will receive $20,488,884 for use towards community development activities during Program Year 2023, which begins October 1, 2023, and ends September 30, 2024. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines this allocation amount based on Harris County’s Service Area population, poverty, housing overcrowding and age of housing. Based on this formula funding, for PY2023 the total HUD Entitlement funding will be comprised of $14,018,830 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, $1,215,732 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, and $5,254,322 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); including an estimated $40,600 in program income for a total of $20,529,484 in available funding.
Expected Impact:
The approval allows Harris County CSD to submit the PY2023 Annual Action Plan to HUD in order to receive $14,018,830 in CDBG funds, $1,215,732 in ESG funds, $4,624,834 in HOME funds that will be used for affordable housing, community development, public and homeless services.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternatives. If the PY2023 AAP is not approved to submit to HUD, HCCSD will not receive its yearly annual Entitlement funds.
