Jacksonville submitted annual action plan to HUD; entitlement expected to fall $54,000
Summary
Neighborhood Improvement Services told the advisory committee it submitted the city's annual action plan to HUD after council approval; the city's FY entitlement is expected to be $368,000, $54,000 (13%) less than last year, and staff outlined community input and CAPER timelines.
City staff told the Neighborhood Improvement Services Advisory Committee that the City Council approved submission of the annual action plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
"Our entitlement that we are expected to receive is 368,000, which is 54,000 less than we received last year," Pamela Trafton said, summarizing the department's projection of a 13% decrease in HUD entitlement funding. Staff explained the decline reflects changes in federal budgets; the department still expects program income and prior-year funds to help cover projects.
Trafton said program income (reported as 225 in the presentation) and carryover grant years put the department's available resources roughly at $1.2 million for the upcoming year when combined with entitlement funding and prior grants. The presentation and subsequent remarks noted staff already submitted the plan prior to June 1 and are awaiting HUD's final approval.
Staff urged committee members to notify the department of locations available to host community input meetings; public input sessions are planned between November and February, and the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) will be presented to council in September.
The department emphasized that grant recommendations and project work are contingent on HUD approval where applicable and the city's final budget decisions.
