Commission has allowed staff to make these adjustments administratively provided that the <br />impact on individual projects (positive or negative) is not significant. Staff is seeking the same <br />authority for the coming year and will return to the HC if the HOME allocation is significantly <br />less (or more) than anticipated. [The same will be done with the Human Services Commission <br />regarding the federal CDBG allocation.] <br />In past years, the City has utilized its Lower Income Housing Fund (LIHF) to supplement the <br />CDBG (now HHSG) program to enable funding of several important housing -related services <br />that would otherwise be difficult to fund using the limited CDBG "public services" dollars. The <br />use of LIHF funds for the housing services activities is consistent with the policy for use of <br />LIHF that was adopted by the City Council in 1994. <br />Activities Recommended for LIHF & HOME Funding <br />As in prior years, staff is recommending the funding of "housing services" projects at a level <br />that is generally comparable to past funding levels. These projects are summarized below: <br />Table 2: <br />Summary of Staff Funding Recommendations <br />Agency <br />Project Name <br />FY18/19 <br />FY19/20 <br />FY19/20 Staff <br />% of <br />Name <br />Allocation <br />Request <br />Rec <br />Request <br />Abode <br />Tri -Valley Rapid Rehousing Program: <br />Services <br />Tenant -Based Rental Assistance <br />$0* (HOME) <br />$95,305 <br />$95,305 <br />100% <br />$0* <br />(HOME) <br />Case Management/Admin <br />(LIHF) <br />$54,695 <br />$54,605 <br />100% <br />LIHF <br />CityServe <br />Housing Grant for Homeless Street <br />N/A** <br />$50,000 <br />$50,000 (LIHF) <br />100% <br />Outreach/Homelessness Prevention" <br />CRIL <br />Housing & Independent Living Services <br />$15,000 <br />$16,025 <br />$15,000 (LIHF) <br />94% <br />ECHO <br />Housing <br />Housing Counseling Services <br />$40,000 <br />$40,000 <br />$40,000 (LIHF) <br />100% <br />Habitat for <br />Humanity <br />Housing Rehabilitation Program <br />N/A <br />$150,000 <br />$0*** <br />(HOME/LIHF) <br />0% <br />Tri -Valley <br />Housing Preventative <br />$12,000 <br />$25,000 <br />$12,000 (LIHF) <br />50% <br />REACH <br />Maintenance/Repair <br />TOTAL <br />$67,000 <br />$431,025 <br />$266,910 <br />62% <br />Page-3- <br />
