City is an entitlement community — we receive CDBG funding every year because HUD has determined we qualify based its formula (number of persons in poverty + aging housing stock). HOME funding comes through the Kitsap County HOME Consortium. HUD has determined that Bremerton is entitled to 43%, of the County's HOME award. 2. Certain requirements: a. Planning Process - 5 -year Consolidated Plan and its components: I. 5 -year Consolidated Plan Council approved every 5 -years in a PH. • Community Assessment • Housing Market Analysis • Strategic Plan — includes goals and strategies for the 5 HUD identified target areas: ✓ Housing ✓ Homeless ✓ Community Development ✓ Economic Development ✓ Special Needs. • Citizen Participation Plan ii. Annual Action Plan -to inform HUD of the activities we plan to fund with following year's allocation. Council approved each Autumn in a, PH. iii. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) —to report to HUD the accomplishments of the prior year's funded activities. This is advertised for public comment, but Council approval is not required. b. Policies and Procedures - annual Policy Plan, NOFA. Couridi'approved each Spring in a PH. The grant application is guided by the policies but not subject to Council approval. 3. Certain limits on use of funds: Staff relies on Code of Federal Regulations to run the program. Many regulatory topics are addressed in the City's Policy Plan, such as funding caps. CDBG Funding Caps: HOME Funding Caps: Administration: 20% Administration: 10% Public Services 15% CHDO (minimum): 15% Capital /ED no cap Capital: no cap 4. Discretionary Policies: such as coordination w Kitsap County on Consolidated and Policy Plans; coordination w/ Kitsap County and KRCC on Coordinated Application. These policies aim to save staff time and effort, and the latter may impact what the city is funding. For example, most homeless related activities are being funded through the KRCC Homeless Housing Grant Program, since it is targeted to that community need.
