body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Christie Lee Kamka
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Lacey Harper
PURPOSE: Approve the 2022 Annual Action Plan in order to receive annual CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant funds.
BACKGROUND: Public Review and Comment
A draft of the 2022 Annual Action Plan is currently available for public review and comment through April 22, 2022. A summary of any additional comments received, and the final 2022 Annual Action Plan will be provided to the County Council for consideration prior to approval of the Plan.
The attached motion requests approval of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium (Consortium) 2022 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. Snohomish County is the lead agency for the Consortium and the Plan is required in order to receive the grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2022 program year will run from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
Snohomish County, operating in consortium with the cities and towns within the County, qualifies as an urban county entitlement jurisdiction to receive federal funds annually from HUD under the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. As lead agency of the Consortium, federal regulations require the County to develop and submit a 2022 Annual Action Plan to HUD in order to receive 2022 grant funds under these programs.
The Consortium’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds may be used to support affordable housing, public facility, infrastructure, and service projects that principally benefit low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods in the county.The 2022 Annual Action Plan includes descriptions and awards for the proposed projects and for County grant administrative costs. It also provides additional information on the grant funds and other planned actions to address community needs.
As required, the proposed projects are consistent with the five-year goals set forth in the Consortium’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan approved via Motion 20-234. The projects were recommended for funding on March 7, 2022, by the Consortium’s Policy Advisory Board, which provides input on use of these funds.
In addition, pursuant to an interlocal agreement, a portion of the HOME funds each year are set-aside for affordable housing projects selected by the City of Everett (Everett), with final approval, as required, by the County. Everett has selected two proposed project for these funds which will benefit residents within Everett and Everett’s Urban Growth Area. The projects are included in the draft plan and Everett is undertaking its final citizen participation and city approval processes. Everett will provide the necessary information on its final processes before County Council approval of the final Plan.
