For one of my clients, I work closely with low wage workers preparing to apply for citizenship. Their stories are inspiring.

Fiscal Impact (if any): CDBG Program - Public Service Category:Consistent with Board funding guidelines, 17 percent of the County’s annual CDBG allocation may be used for PS projects. Therefore, $784,542 is available to PS projects from the annual allocation. In addition, there is $24,958 available from completed projects. Lastly, $40,000 is to be provided from the “Affordable Housing” category to help fund fair housing services. Consequently, a total of $849,500 is available for PS projects. A total of 35 applications were received requesting a total of $894,500. Staff recommends 31 out of the 35 programs be funded at the amounts requested and staff is recommending that remaining four programs that requested more funding be funded at the amount they received in year one (FY 2022/23) and year two (FY 2023/24) (See Attachment A-1). ESG Program:The County also receives ESG funds, on an entitlement formula basis, for the provision of essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter operations and related services; homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing activities. The County will receive a total of $399,140 in ESG funding for FY 2023/24, approximately $216 less than the County received in FY 2023/24. Seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the grant will be used for administration expenses, resulting in a total of $369,404 available for projects. A total of 6 renewal applications were received requesting a total of $374,404 in ESG Program funds. Staff recommends five out of the six renewal programs be funded at the amounts requested. Health Services applied for $35,844, but Staff is recommending that they receive an allocation of $30,844, as it is consistent with the amount they received in prior years, and this is the final year in the three-year funding cycle.

The staff report will be submitted together with funding recommendations for all other CDBG categories and considered by the Board of Supervisors on June 25, 2024, as a “Consent” item. BACKGROUND The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit staff recommendations for funding in the PS category for the FY 2024/25 CDBG Program and the FY 2024/25 ESG Program. Spreadsheets, summarizing staff’s recommendations and staff’s analysis/evaluation, are attached for both the PS and ESG program 61 2 categories. In October 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved having two separate and distinct funding cycles for the non-housing categories of the CDBG Program and for the ESG Program, to align with the five-year period of the CDBG/ESG Consolidated Plan. The first series is a two-year funding cycle for programs/projects in the CDBG PS, economic development, and infrastructure/public facilities categories and for the ESG Program. The second series is a three-year funding cycle to conclude the latter portion of the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Consequently, in June 2022, the Board approved the allocation of FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 CDBG and ESG funds. The allocation of FY 2024/25 CDBG and ESG funds was contingent on the availability of funds and the satisfactory accomplishment of contract goals. Available Funding On May 8, 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the FY 2024/25 CDBG Program entitlement allocations to all CDBG entitlement jurisdictions. The County’s FY 2024/25 CDBG entitlement amount is $4,614,953, which is approximately $73,570 more than the County received in FY 2023/24. On November 4, 2014, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted funding guidelines for the allocation of CDBG funds that require the County’s annual grant be allocated to the following CDBG eligible categories: Category of Use Allocation Guidelines CDBG Program Available Funding Affordable Housing 45% $2,076,729 Public Services *17% $ 784,542 Economic Development 10% $ 461,495 Infrastructure/Public Facility 8% $ 369,196 Administration 20% $ 922,991 Total FY 2024/25 CDBG Grant $4,614,953 *As long as the amount does not go over HUD’s statutory cap for Public Services CDBG Program – Public Service Category: Consistent with Board funding guidelines, 17 percent of the County’s annual CDBG allocation may be used for PS projects. Therefore, $784,542 is available to PS projects from the annual allocation. In addition, there is $24,958 available from completed projects. Lastly, $40,000 is to be provided from the “Affordable Housing” category to help fund fair housing services. Consequently, a total of $849,500 is available for PS projects. A total of 35 applications were received requesting a total of $894,500. Staff recommends 31 out of the 35 programs be funded at the amounts requested and staff is recommending that remaining four programs that requested more funding be funded at the amount they received in year one (FY 2022/23) and year two (FY 2023/24) (See Attachment A-1). ESG Program: The County also receives ESG funds, on an entitlement formula basis, for the provision of essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter operations and related services; homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing activities. The County will receive a total of $399,140 in ESG funding for FY 2023/24, approximately $216 less than the County received in FY 2023/24. Seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the grant will be used for administration expenses, resulting in a total of $369,404 available for projects. 62 3 A total of 6 renewal applications were received requesting a total of $374,404 in ESG Program funds. Staff recommends five out of the six renewal programs be funded at the amounts requested. Health Services applied for $35,844, but Staff is recommending that they receive an allocation of $30,844, as it is consistent with the amount they received in prior years, and this is the final year in the three-year funding cycle. Staff’s recommendations for the use of ESG funds are listed in Attachment B-1. Application Process and Evaluation Criteria: CDBG Program and ESG Program: For FY 2024/25, currently funded PS and ESG agencies were required to submit an abbreviated “renewal application”, including a proposed FY 2024/25 budget, current audit, and confirmation of performance outcomes. This information was used to evaluate an agency’s continuing capacity to operate its program during the next fiscal year. Staff’s funding recommendations for FY 2024/25 PS projects are listed in Attachment A-1, and staff’s funding recommendations for FY 2024/25 ESG projects are listed in Attachment B-1. Staff’s analysis/evaluation and recommendation tables (Attachments A-2 and B-2) describe the individual projects and provide information on each agency’s performance during the first six to nine months of FY 2023/24. In general, most agencies are performing as proposed and are expected to meet or exceed performance outcomes contained in their CDBG and ESG agreements by the end of the program year. Public Hearing and Transmittal of Recommendations: The Committee’s recommendations will be forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors prior to the public meeting that is scheduled for June 25, 2024. Final recommendations must be forwarded to HUD by July 8, 2024, for review to ensure consistency with federal regulations.

WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system. WIOA was expected to significantly impact the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) and the way the Workforce Development Board does its work. Therefore, updates on the impacts and changes was referred to FHS. The last report was received by FHS at its May 22, 2023 meeting and later received by the Board of Supervisors at its June 13, 2023 meeting. Referral Update: Please see the attached report for an update on the Workforce Development Board and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
