DATE: March 22, 2016
SUBJECT: RESULTS OF THE CDBG ANNUAL COMMUNITY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Erin Lay
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council to conduct a public hearing and receive information regarding the results of the
annual Community Needs Assessment conducted as part of the Community Development Block
Grant Program.
BACKGROUND
Each year the City receives approximately $1.1 million dollars in Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) to assist lower income residents in the areas of decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and expanded economic opportunities.
In order to receive and use CDBG funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan (Con
Plan) at least every five years. The Con Plan contains a Housing Market Analysis, a Strategic
Plan, and sets the priorities for the use of CDBG funds for the five-year period of 2014-15
through 2018-19. The current Con Plan priorities are supportive human services, community
facilities and infrastructure, housing, and economic opportunities.
The City must also develop an Action Plan annually which outlines the specific ways the current
year's allocation of funds will be spent to meet the priorities identified in the Con Plan. The
third year Action Plan for 2016-17 must be submitted to HUD by May 17, 2016.
Also, as required by HUD, a Community Needs Assessment is conducted annually to determine
the current needs of the community. Staff conducted the 2016-17 needs assessment process in
the form of a survey, which is attached to this report.

Outreach efforts included:
• A press release was issued to the local news agencies, including The Signal, KHTS,
and SCVNews;
• An email link for the on-line survey was sent to all current City CDBG service
providers;
• An email link for the on-line survey was posted on the City's website and sent to City
staff; and
• Hard copies of the survey were available to the public upon request.
The Community Needs Assessment survey was available from November 7, 2015, through
December 15, 2015, and 326 individual participants responded. A summary with the results of
the survey is attached to this report. The needs identified through this assessment process are
used to develop the 2016-17 Action Plan. The results also help determine funding allocations
which address the needs identified, while also meeting a Con Plan priority.
No formal action is being requested of the City Council at this time. The 2016-17 Action Plan
and Recommended CDBG Funding Allocations will be presented to the City Council for
consideration at the meeting on April 26, 2016.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other actions as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
