City amends HOME‑ARP administrative allocation after HUD notifies of additional funds
Summary
HUD notified the city of an additional HOME‑ARP allocation; staff proposed and the committee approved a small increase to the administration and planning line so the municipality can obligate the full HOME‑ARP amount.
Evanston — The Housing and Community Development Committee voted Tuesday to amend the city’s HOME‑ARP allocation plan after HUD notified the city of a modest increase to its earlier award.
Details: City staff said the original HOME‑ARP allocation to Evanston in April 2021 totaled $1,298,584. HUD recently notified the city of an additional $1,490.90 resulting from a prior‑year allocation adjustment. Staff proposed increasing the administration and planning line from $148,584 to $150,074 to reflect the added funds while leaving the major program allocations unchanged: $1,000,000 toward non‑congregate shelter acquisition and development and $150,000 for tenant‑based rental assistance (TBRA). The amendment was framed as a technical update to obligate the full HOME‑ARP award.
Committee action: A motion to approve the amendment passed unanimously. Staff noted HOME‑ARP funds must be expended by the HUD deadlines in the HOME‑ARP program guidance and flagged that staff would continue to manage spending and reporting responsibilities.
Ending: The amendment will allow the city to use the full HOME‑ARP allocation and preserve budget alignment across the plan’s program categories.
