Title
Motion 25-264, approving the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan for HUD Housing and Community Development Programs
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Debra May
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 5/2725
PURPOSE: To approve the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan in order to receive annual CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant funds.
BACKGROUND: Deadline Request: The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan (2025-2029 CP & 2025 AAP) has been delayed due to the late announcement of the 2025 CDBG, HOME and ESG entitlement allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Annual Action Plans are normally submitted to HUD by May 15 of each year to ensure that 1) HUD HOME, CDBG and ESG contracts can be executed in a timely manner, and 2) thereby allowing Human Services to execute contracts between the County and agencies receiving these funds, prior to the program year start date of July 1. Expedited processing is respectfully requested for approval of the 2025-2029 CP & 2025 AAP by June 18, 2025.
The attached motion requests approval of the Snohomish County Urban County Consortium (Consortium) 2025-2029 CP & 2025 AAP 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 HUD. The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029, and the 2025 Action Plan program year, which is the first year of the Consolidated Plan, will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
The CDBG, HOME, and ESG grants are included in the 2025 Human Services Department Grant Work Plan approved via Motion 24-378.
