Referral History:

On February 11, 1997, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) the subject of the Public Service (PS) portion of the Community Services Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Therefore, the Department of Conservation and Development reports to FHS at least annually regarding recommendations for the Public Services category and Emergency Solutions Grant funding allocations.

Referral Update:

Please see the attached report from the Conservation and Development Department transmitting the FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 CDBG-Public Service Category and Emergency Solutions Grant funding project recommendations. Staff’s funding recommendations for the aforementioned fiscal year PS projects are listed in Attachments A-1 and A-2, and staff’s funding recommendations for the aforementioned fiscal year ESG projects are listed in Attachment B-1 and B-2. Staff requests that the Committee’s recommendations be forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors as a consolidated consent item scheduled for its June 21, 2022 meeting. The County's final recommendations must be forwarded to HUD by June 30, 2022 for review and to ensure consistency with federal regulations.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

1. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Service (PS) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee.
2. APPROVE recommendations for FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) projects as recommended by staff or amended by the Committee.
