Board forwards Consolidated Plan and 2025'26 Annual Action Plan to HUD; staff details CDBG/HOME/ESG recommendations
Summary
The Board of Supervisors voted June 3 to forward the county's five-year Consolidated Plan (2025'2029) and the 2025'26 Annual Action Plan (CDBG, HOME, ESG) to HUD by the June 15, 2025 submission deadline.
During the June 3 meeting the county's Neighborhood Preservation staff and Human Services Agency presented the five-year consolidated plan (2025'2029) and the accompanying 2025'26 Annual Action Plan required by HUD. The board voted to receive comments and allow staff to submit the plans to HUD by the June 15, 2025 deadline.
Why it matters: HUD entitlement formula funds (CDBG, HOME, ESG) support housing rehabilitation, homeless services, infrastructure improvements in targeted areas and public services for low- and moderate-income residents. The county is the HUD grantee for the urban county jurisdiction and must submit a five-year strategy plus annual spending plans to secure funding.
What staff presented (as shown in meeting slides and remarks)
- CDBG (County): Staff presented recommended county CDBG activities and said program income of $500,000 (from loan repayments) would be added to the entitlement funding. Slides presented the county's public improvements, housing rehab, public services and administration allocations. At points in the presentation slide figures appeared in two places; staff summarized the county recommendation to total $2,300,733 (including program income), and also displayed entitlement-plus-program-income figures in an earlier slide. (Staff and the board acknowledged the presentation contained multiple slides showing entitlement and program-income breakdowns.)
- HOME (County): Staff showed a county HOME allocation of $666,052 (entitlement) with recommended HOME activity funding at $816,052 when program income for down-payment assistance and rehab was added. HUD-mandated CHDO set-aside (15%) and administration (10%) were noted.
- ESG (County): Staff recommended $262,234 in ESG allocations covering outreach, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing/homeless prevention and administration.
- Timing: The county must submit the consolidated plan and the annual action plan to HUD by June 15, 2025, for continuation of entitlement funds; board approval to forward the plan was recorded during the meeting.
Board discussion and public process
Staff described an outreach process with participating cities and stakeholders and said the plan includes an analysis of impediments and data-driven, place-based priorities. Supervisors asked clarifying questions about which cities receive direct HUD allocations (Stockton and Lodi receive direct entitlement funding; Mountain House did not meet the poverty threshold). The board had no substantive changes to the staff'recommended allocations and voted to forward the package.
What happens next
- Neighborhood Preservation will submit the consolidated plan and the annual action plan to HUD by June 15, 2025. - HUD will review the submission; grant awards and project agreements will be administered by the county and participating cities per the plan.
Ending: The board's approval keeps the county on the HUD entitlement funding track for CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. Staff noted the plan uses program income where available to expand local rehabilitation, down-payment and public-service efforts.
