Projects AP -35 Projects — 91.220(d) Introduction For the 2019 CDBG allocation there are a total of 7 CDBG projects that were selected. It consists of 1 housing project and 6 public facility projects. The 1 housing project consists of rehabilitation improvements to a senior rental housing facility. The 6 public facilities projects involves the rehabilitation and/or renovation of 5 homeless shelters and 1 youth facility. On April 2, 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) informed the County that it would receive $1,543,033 of Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) allocation from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Along with the CDBG-CV funds, the CARES Act authorized grant waivers and alternative requirements of statutes and regulations pertaining to these funds. These waivers and alternative requirements are necessary to expedite and facilitate the use of these funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). On April 17, 2020, the County submitted its waivers to HUD to utilize a 5 -day comment period instead of the minimum 30 -day public comment period for Substantial Amendments to its Consolidated Plan, Citizen Participation Plan and Funding Allocation process. In anticipation of receiving the CDBG-CV1 funds, the County published a public notice on April 26, 2020 to announce a substantial amendment to its 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan (CP), Annual Action Plan (AAP) and Citizen Participation Plan (CPP). The amendments to the CP, AAP and CPP reflected the allowed waivers for the CDBG-CV funds, changes in the County's project selection and funding allocation process and the actual projects utilizing the CDBG-CV funds. The amendments to these plans were available for a 5 day comment period from April 27 to May 4, 2020 for a substantial amendment as allowed under the COVID-19 waiver. The County allocated the CDBG-CV1 funds to 4 non-profit service providers for public service projects and activities that serve low and moderate income persons impacted by COVID-19. On August 17, 2020, the County published a Public Notice notifying citizens that it allocated CDBG-CV2 Annual Action Plan 2019 OMB Control No 2506.0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 27
