5. CONSIDER approving the staff funding recommendations for FY 2019/20 (3rd Year) Community Development Block Grant-Public Service Category and Emergency Solutions Grant projects, and directing the Department of Conservation and Development to prepare a staff report for Board of Supervisors consideration.
  Gabriel Lemus presented the staff report.  He explained that the slight reduction in the County's allocation this year is attributed to a formula used by HUD to allocate the funds.  The formula is based on population and age of housing stock, and can also be affected by jurisdictions either being added or removed from the distribution.

Gabriel highlighted that all of the projects are recommended for funding at the requested amount or more, except for the H3 CORE Program, which requested to be switched to the ESG Program category, which has fewer administrative requirements, in lieu of the CDBG Program category.

Supervisor Gioia observed that President Trump's FY 2020 budget request would eliminate the CDBG Program.  Supervisor Andersen observed that there was strong bipartisan support to maintain low-income housing programs.

The Committee accepted the report, approved the recommendations, and directed DCD staff to prepare a staff report for Board of Supervisors consideration on June 11.
