RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Monterey County Urban County Standing Committee support staff recommendation for 2025/2026 AAP funding allocations.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On May 13, 2025, the AAP was presented along with the Consolidated Action Plan for 2025-2029 before the Board of Supervisors with funding recommendations. The board supported and approved all funding recommendations except the one for the Monterey Salinas Transit in the amount of $150,000.
On May 14, 2025, the Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) received notification from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Attachment A, that for the next fiscal year our funding has been set at $1,361,629, instead of $1,426,390, which is $64,761 lower than anticipated and planned on. This results in a total funding of $1,371,629, which includes an estimated $10,000 in program income.
The reduction in funding made modifications to the approved funding allocations for Public Services and Administration. Public Services was reduced from $213,959 to $204,244 to comply with the 15% maximum. Administration was reduced from $285,278 to $272,326 to comply with the 20% maximum.
