Legislation Title:
AN ORDINANCE adopting the 2003 Update to The City of Seattle 2001-2004 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development, including general policies for the use of the City’s funding resources for housing and amendments to the City’s Citizen Participation Plan for the Consolidated Plan; authorizing the submission of the 2003 Update to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development; authorizing the Human Services Director to make changes to the Plan for certain purposes; and ratifying and confirming prior acts.
Summary of the Legislation:
The requested resolution will adopt the 2003 Update to the 2001-2004 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development and the 2003 Action Plan component of the Plan. The changes in the Consolidated Plan reflect the actions of the City Council in the making of the 2003 City Budget and include changes proposed by the Mayor in certain housing policies and in the citizen participation plan.
Background: (Include justification for the legislation and funding history, if applicable)
The City has received Community Development Block Grant funds since the inception of this federal program in 1975. These funds have been a major source of funding for housing, community development and human services priorities. The Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and serves as the planning documents and the applications for four federal formula grant programs, including the Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG"), HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Shelter Grant Program ("ESGP") and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS ("HOPWA") programs. HUD requires that the Consolidated Plan be adopted by City Council prior to its submission.
Public Private Partnership Review Status: Is the project referenced in the legislation subject to P4 review? If yes, identify P4 review to date.
No
Is the Legislation Subject to Public Hearing Requirements? If yes, what public hearings have been held to date?
Yes. As a condition of funding, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that a public hearing be held concerning the adoption as well as a substantial change to the Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development and the Action Plan component of the Consolidated Plan. This requirement will be met by the Council Committee briefing that allows time for public comment on the Action Plan. There has been a public involvement process in the development of the Mayor's Proposed 2003 Update to the 2001-2004 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development and the document has been available for public review and comment for thirty (30) days prior to submittal to HUD, and public notice has been given of proposed amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan
Fiscal Sustainability Issues: (Related to grant awards)
The four federal grants included under the Consolidated Plan are considered to be quite stable long-term sources. Appropriation levels have been and are projected to remain relatively stable, but of course are subject to Congressional action.
