SUBJECT: SUBMISSION OF THE DRAFT 2018-2019 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Erin Lay
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council approve the Draft 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan and Community Development
Block Grant Funding Recommendations and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute
all required documents, subject to approval of the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
entitlement funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Funds from the federal CDBG budget are allocated to individual jurisdictions based on
the higher of two formulas: poverty, population, and over-crowded housing; or poverty,
population, and the age of housing. The demographic information used for these formulas comes
from a combination of American Community Survey data and Census data, which can vary from
year to year.
CDBG funds must be used primarily to benefit lower-income individuals in any or all of the
following areas: decent housing; a suitable living environment; and expanded economic
opportunities. As required by HUD, the City conducted a strategic planning process and
developed a five-year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) for 2014-2018. The Con Plan sets forth
priority areas in which CDBG funds can be expended. The 2014-2018 priorities identified were
supportive human services, affordable housing, infrastructure, administration, and economic
development.
In order to receive CDBG funds, HUD requires the development of the Annual Action Plan
(AAP), which identifies how the City will use its available 2018-2019 CDBG funds to meet the
2014-2018 Con Plan priorities and 2018-2019 community needs. The AAP for FY 2018-2019
Page 1
Packet Pg. 150

(available in the City Clerk's Reading File) contains funding recommendations, service goals,
and a description of the programs/activities to be undertaken in the coming year. The AAP is
developed through a needs assessment process, which includes public outreach and a
Community Needs Assessment Survey. The results of the 2018-2019 Community Needs
Assessment Survey were presented to the City Council on March 13, 2018, (agenda report
attached).
HUD has informed the City that the CDBG entitlement allocations for the 2018-2019 program
year will be released later than usual and has provided guidance on how to develop the AAP
this AAP is calculated using an estimated allocation of $1,108,713, which is the amount the City
received in the 2017-2018 program year. HUD has also directed that a Contingency Strategy
(included in the Draft 2018-2018 AAP available in the City Clerk's Reading File) be developed
to address how the City will adjust the funding in the AAP, should the allocation be higher or
lower than estimated.
Based on the direction from HUD, the total amount of CDBG funds estimated to be available for
the City of Santa Clarita in 2018-2019 is $1,177,714. This amount includes the estimation of
$1,108,713 in new funding and $69,001 in unused funds from previous years. The standard
submission date for the AAP is 45 days prior to the start of the fiscal year, which is May 15.
However, HUD advised the City to delay submission of the AAP until 60 days after entitlement
allocation amounts are released or August 16, 2018, whichever comes first. The AAP would
then be submitted with any necessary adjustments to reflect actual amounts based on the
Contingency Strategy.
The City followed its standard public participation process while waiting for the release of the
entitlement allocations. City staff also implemented a competitive process for CDBG sub-
recipient grants. For the 2018-2019 competitive funding process, the following actions took
place:
local non-profits were notified by mail of the availability of grant funds.
Two technical assistance meetings were held to answer questions and distribute
application packets.
A Risk Assessment Questionnaire, as part of funding applications, was reviewed and
scored by Housing staff.
Debarment status was verified in the electronic System for Award Management.
five-member intra-departmental Evaluation Committee was formed to evaluate, score,
and rank the grant proposals.
CDBG Activity Type and Eligibility Determination form was completed for all
funding requests to ensure that, prior to further consideration and scoring by the
evaluation committee, each proposed program/activity was eligible under CDBG
regulations, met a HUD National Objective, addressed a Con Plan priority, and was
identified in the annual needs assessment process.
A total of 15 applications were received, with 11 of the proposed programs/activities being
recommended for CDBG funding. The programs/activities that were recommended met all
CDBG eligibility requirements, addressed a Con Plan priority, met a HUD National Objective,
addressed a current need of lower-income residents in our community identified in the annual

needs assessment process, and have clear and attainable goals and objectives. The specific
recommended funding is shown in the Recommended Fiscal Year 2018-2019 CDBG Funding
Allocations (attached).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other actions as directed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2018-2019 CDBG budget will not impact the General Fund. All programs recommended
for funding will utilize CDBG funds provided by HUD.

Specific CDBG Certifications
The Entitlement Community certifies that:
Citizen Participation -- It is in full compliance and following a detailed Citizen Participation Plan
that satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan -- Its Consolidated Plan identifies community development and
housing needs and specifies both short-term and long-term community development objectives
that provide decent housing, expand economic opportunities primarily for persons of low and
moderate income. (See CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570)
Following a Plan -- It is following a current Consolidated Plan that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds -- It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG
funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible
priority to activities which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention
or elimination of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the
grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having a
particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community, and other financial resources are not available).
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including Section 108 guaranteed
loans during program year(s) 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 shall principally
benefit persons of low and moderate income in a manner that ensures that at least 70
percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit such persons during the
designated period.
3. Special Assessments. It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public
improvements assisted with CDBG funds including Section 108 loan guaranteed funds by
assessing any amount against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and
moderate income, including any fee charged or assessment made as a condition of
obtaining access to such public improvements. However, if CDBG funds are used to pay
the proportion of a fee or assessment that relates to the capital costs of public
improvements (assisted in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue sources,
an assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the public
improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds. The jurisdiction will not
attempt to recover any capital costs of public improvements assisted with CDBG funds,
including Section 108, unless CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or
assessment attributable to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other
revenue sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the property
with respect to the public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by moderate-income (not low-income)
families, an assessment or charge may be made against the property for public
improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that
it lacks CDBG funds to cover the assessment.
Excessive Force -- It has adopted and is enforcing:
2018-2019 ActionPlan SANTA CLARITA Certifications-3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2016)
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance
to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non-violent civil rights
demonstrations within its jurisdiction;
Compliance With Anti-discrimination laws -- The grant will be conducted and administered in
conformity with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC 2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42
USC 3601-3619), and implementing regulations.

All ESG -Grantees Cross Reference: 24 CFR Part 91
All HOPWA - Grantees
Subject: Guidance on Submitting Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018
Purpose:
The purpose of this Notice is to instruct all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG),
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Emergency Solutions Grants
(ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grantees on the timing of
submission of FY 2018 consolidated plans and action plans. This Notice provides instructions to
grantees/participating jurisdictions under each of these programs regarding costs incurred prior to
execution of a grant agreement. This Notice further informs Entitlement CDBG grantees and
HOME participating jurisdictions of waivers being made available to certain grantees/participating
jurisdictions to assist in the implementation of the pre-award costs instructions. These procedures
3-5-year consolidated plans as well as to annual action plans (either as a
stand-alone document or as a component of the overall consolidated plan submission).
Notes regarding applicability:
This Notice use
jurisdictions, except where the term appears in discussions explicitly limited to one of the other
covered funding programs. Provisions of this Notice covering the Entitlement CDBG program also
apply to Insular Areas grantees and CDBG nonentitlement county grantees in Hawaii, as the
Entitlement CDBG program regulations also apply to their CDBG funds.
Background:
Pursuant to 24 CFR 91.15(a)(1), each jurisdiction should submit its consolidated plan to
HUD at least 45 days before the start of its program year. The earliest date on which HUD will
accept a consolidated plan or action plan submission is November 15, 2017; and the latest
submission deadline is August 16, 2018. However, in most years, HUD does not receive its annual
funding appropriation until several months into the federal fiscal year (rarely earlier than December,
www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov
and sometimes as late as April).
According to 24 CFR 91.500(a), a plan will be deemed approved 45 days after HUD
receives the plan, unless HUD notifies the jurisdiction before that date that the plan is disapproved.
In past years, HUD typically did not disapprove a plan solely because it was based on estimated
allocation amounts. As a result, a plan submitted by a grantee before its allocation amounts are
actual allocation amounts.
This practice resulted in significant additional work for both HUD and grantees. After the
actual allocation amounts were announced, a grantee had to submit a revised, re-signed SF-424
form listing the actual allocation amounts for each of its grants. In many cases, the grantee had to
make additional changes to amend its plan to reflect its actual allocation amounts. This may have
participation plan process. For FY 2018, HUD will not execute a grant agreement with a grantee
until HUD has received a plan (or an amended plan) which incorporates the actual allocation
amounts a grantee is to receive for FY 2018.
Revised Procedures for Submission of FY 2018 Consolidated Plans and Action Plans
by Grantees with Early Program Year Start Dates:
HUD is issuing the following revised procedures to govern the submission and review of
consolidated plans and action plans for FY 2018 funding prior to computation of FY 2018
allocation amounts. These procedures will apply to any grantee whose normal consolidated
plan/action plan submission deadline (45 days before the start of the program year) falls either
before, or less than 60 days after, the date HUD announces FY 2018 allocation amounts for CDBG,
ESG, HOME and HOPWA funding. (See Section II. for a discussion of the timing of Housing
Trust Fund allocations.)
8 appropriation.
At this time, HUD cannot predict when its FY 2018 appropriations bill will be enacted and when it
will be able to announce FY 2018 allocation amounts. Thus, HUD cannot say how many grantees
or which program year start dates will be subject to these revised procedures. Similarly, HUD
cannot provide estimated FY 2018 allocation amounts for grantees to use for planning purposes in
developing annual action plans.
Note: These procedures will not apply to grantees whose normal consolidated plan/action
plan submission deadline is more than 60 days after HUD announcement of FY 2018 allocation
amounts; those grantees should have sufficient time to revise their plans to match actual allocation
amounts prior to the due date for their plan.

I. Revised Submission Dates for FY 2018 Action Plans for CDBG, ESG, HOME,
HOPWA
Grantees are advised not to submit their consolidated plan/action plan until after the FY
2018 allocations have been announced. Grantees due to submit a new 3-5-year consolidated plan in
FY 2018 should refrain from submitting the overall consolidated plan as well as the FY 2018 action
plan contained within the overall document. HUD cannot complete its review of the overall
Once
HUD informs grantees of their FY 2018 funding allocation amounts, each grantee should, prior to
submission, ensure that the actual FY 2018 allocation amounts are reflected in the form SF-424, in
the description of resources and objectives, and in the description of activities to be undertaken (or,
for states, the method of distribution). It may be necessary for a grantee to revise its action plan
before submission to HUD.
An affected grantee may delay submission of its consolidated plan or action plan to HUD
until 60 days after the date allocations are announced, or until August 16, 2018 (whichever comes
first). This delay will give a grantee time to revise its action plan to incorporate actual allocation
amounts, and to conduct any additional citizen participation, if necessary.
For example, if HUD were to announce the FY 2018 allocation amounts to grantees on
April 27, 2018:
For grantees with January 1 June 1 program year start dates, their normal plan submission
date would have been before the date that HUD announced allocation amounts. These
grantees would be able to postpone submission of their consolidated plan/action plan until
June 26, 2018.
For grantees with July 1 and August 1 program year start dates, their normal plan
ncement of allocation
amounts. These grantees would also be able to postpone submission of their consolidated
plan/action plan until June 26, 2018.
Grantees with September 1 and October 1 program year start dates would have more than 60
days between the date of announcement of allocations and the normal submission deadline
for their consolidated plan/action plan. These grantees would be expected to submit their
plan on time.
However, in no case may a consolidated plan/action plan be submitted to HUD later than
August 16, 2018. Failure to submit an action plan for FY 2018 by August 16, 2018, will result in
the automatic loss of FY 2018 CDBG funds to the grantee. This requirement is established by
statute, and HUD cannot waive the August 16 submission deadline. Funding under other CPD
formula programs are not subject to this deadline but, since virtually all CPD formula grantees
receive CDBG funding, the CDBG submission requirement effectively establishes the deadline for
submission of action plans.
3
HUD has determined that it
is not necessary to waive this provision in order to implement the procedures in this Notice for FY
2018 action plans. This provision does not prohibit a grantee from submitting a plan in the eCon
Planning Suite after that time. It is not necessary for an affected grantee to request an exception to
its normal action plan submission date under 24 CFR 91.15(a)(1), nor is it necessary for a field
office to grant an exception to the action plan submission deadlines, under 24 CFR 91.20, in order
to implement the procedures in this Notice.
II. Submission Process for the HTF Program
HTF is an affordable housing production program to increase and preserve the supply of
decent, safe, and sanitary affordable housing for extremely low-income and very low-income
families. HTF is a formula grant program for states.
The HTF regulation at 24 CFR 93.100 requires each state to include its HTF allocation plan
in its annual action plan as described at 24 CFR 91.320(k)(5). The HTF allocation plan describes
the method for the distribution of funds, and establishes the application requirements and criteria for
selecting applications. The rule also requires a local jurisdiction that receives a subgrant of HTF
funds from the state to include a HTF allocation plan (24 CFR 91.220(l)(5)) in its annual action
plan, but due to the timing of the publication of HTF allocations, the local jurisdiction may need to
amend its annual action plan to include HTF.
The timing of the HTF allocations is different from other CPD formula programs (CDBG,
HOME, HOPWA, and ESG) because the source of funding is the mandatory assessments on Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac rather than Federal appropriations. The earliest HUD expects to publish the
HTF allocations is April 2018. If HTF allocations are not published before a state submits its
consolidated plan/action plan, a state may submit its consolidated plan/action plan for the other CPD
formula programs, then submit its HTF allocation plan as a substantial amendment to its annual
action plan, after the HTF allocations are published.
III. HUD Review of Action Plans
HUD will review a consolidated plan/action plan in accordance with 24 CFR 91.500(b).
The 45-day review period will begin whenever the eCon Planning Suite submission or original
executed SF-424, certifications and applicable assurances are received by the field office, whichever
is later. HUD will disapprove as substantially incomplete any consolidated plan or action plan
covering FY 2018 funding that does not reflect actual CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA allocation
amounts on the form SF-424(s), in the description of resources and objectives, and in the description
of activities to be undertaken (or, for states, the method of distribution). The HTF allocation must
be included if the HTF allocations are published before the state submits its consolidated plan or
action plan. (See Section II.) A grantee whose action plan is disapproved for this reason is advised
to not resubmit a revised plan until HUD has announced the actual FY 2018 allocation amounts, and
until the grantee has incorporated the actual allocation amounts into its plan.
4
24 CFR 91.500(b) states HUD may disapprove a plan or a portion of a plan if it is
inconsistent with the purpose of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (42
U.S.C. 12703), if it is substantially incomplete, or, in the case of a CDBG certification under
§91.225(a) and (b) or §91.325(a) and (b), if it is not satisfactory to the Secretary in accordance with
§570.304, §570.429(g), or §570.485(c). The following are examples provided in §91.500(b) of
substantially incomplete plans:
(1) A plan developed without the required citizen participation or the required
consultation;
(2) A plan fails to satisfy all the required elements in 24 CFR Part 91, as reflected in the
eCon Planning Suite. This includes when the grantee has not provided a final statement
of community development objectives and the projected use of funds;
(3) A plan for which a certification is rejected by HUD as inaccurate, after HUD has
inspected the evidence and provided due notice and opportunity for comment; and
(4) A plan without a description of the manner in which the unit of general local
government or state will provide financial or other assistance to a public housing agency
if the public housing agency is designated as
HUD has determined that it is not necessary to waive this
provision in order to implement the procedures in this Notice for FY 2018 consolidated plans/action
plans. This provision does not prohibit a grantee from re-submitting a plan after that time period.
24 CFR 91.105(c), 91.115(c) and 91.505 require a grantee to comply with citizen
participation requirements when it undertakes a substantial amendment to an approved plan. A plan
that has been disapproved by HUD is, by definition, not an approved plan.
disapproved by HUD, the consolidated plan regulations do not necessarily require a grantee to
undertake further citizen participation on the changes the grantee makes before re-submitting it. (A
major exception to this, however, w
failure to fulfill citizen participation requirements to begin with.) However, as noted in this Notice,
there are circumstances in which a grantee may need to make major revisions to a disapproved plan,
which could trigger further citizen participation efforts. A grantee with a disapproved plan should
review its citizen participation plan and local policies to determine whether it will need to conduct
further citizen participation as a result of the changes it makes to incorporate actual allocation
amounts into its plan, prior to re-submission of the revised plan.
IV. Development of Proposed Action Plans and Citizen Participation During the
Interim
A grantee has several options regarding fulfilling its citizen participation obligations while
waiting for HUD to announce FY 2018 allocation amounts:
a. A grantee may conduct citizen participation on its draft plan (with estimated funding
amounts) according to its normal timetable and citizen participation procedures. (Grantees
are cautioned, though, that they should not submit their plan until allocation amounts are
5
known.) A grantee doing so should make clear that the funding levels shown are estimated
amounts. In addition, the grantee should inclu
action plan which explains how it will adjust its proposed plan to match its actual allocation
amounts, once actual amounts become known. By including such contingency language, a
grantee can avoid the need to make significant revisions to its plan (beyond incorporating
the final allocation amounts into the plan and the SF-424 form). The grantee may also avoid
the potential need to conduct additional citizen participation on a plan that has to be
significantly revised in order to reflect actual allocation amounts.
Examples of contingency provisions include:
decreased from the estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts.
A grantee could express its budget in terms of percentages of the allocation to be budgeted
equates to for each activity. \[For example, regardless of what the final allocation amounts
are, the United Interfaith Street Outreach Program will receive 22% (currently estimated to
-Based
Rental Assistance activity will receive 10% (currently estimated to be about $68,750) of the
HOME allocation.\]
A plan could state that any increase or decrease in funding to match actual allocation
amounts will be applied to one or more specific activities (e.g., any increase or decrease
single-family
housing rehabilitation grant program).
A plan could list its proposed activities in priority order and indicate that the East Side
Sidewalk Rep
less than estimated, the East Side Sidewalk Replacement activity will not be funded in FY
2018.
the grantee will increase the Uptown Sewer Separation activity budget and will extend the
service area block-by-block along the 600-900 blocks of Cherry Street, based on the amount
of additional funding available.
A grantee may include these or other comparable provisions singly or in any combination to
meet its needs. A grantee may adopt a different contingency approach for each of the programs
covered by this Notice (CDBG, ESG, HOME, HOPWA and HTF).
b. Alternatively, a grantee may prepare a proposed action plan according to its
normal timetable, but wait until actual allocation amounts are known before undertaking
citizen participation actions. Once allocation amounts are announced by HUD, the grantee
will need to update relevant sections of its plan (such as the listings of resources and
6
actual allocation amounts before conducting citizen participation. All grantees intending to
incur pre-award costs under the programs covered by this Notice should be aware that this
option will not be available to them, as citizen participation requirements must be met
before pre-award costs are incurred. (See Section V. below.)
HUD has developed these procedures to minimize disruption to grantees and to minimize
A grantee that does not follow either option a. or b. above
(i.e., the grantee undertakes citizen participation according to its normal timetable, based solely on
estimated funding levels, and the plan does not contain any contingency language on how the final
plan will be adjusted to match actual allocation amounts) runs the risk of increasing its own work
obligations and costs. The grantee will still be required to update its plan to incorporate actual
allocation amounts before submission to HUD. The grantee may need to undertake additional
publication and citizen participation processes, depending on the difference between its actual
allocation amounts and the estimated amounts in its proposed action plan, and how the grantee plans
to adjust its proposed activities in order to match its actual allocation amounts. Local policies and
procedures may also require the grantee to obtain re-approval of the revised plan from its legislative
body or authorizing officials.
A plan that has not yet been submitted to HUD is also not an approved plan, and is not
subject to the citizen participation requirements of a substantial amendment. However, a grantee
that delays its plan submission should review its citizen participation plan and local policies to
determine whether it will need to conduct further citizen participation as a result of the changes it
makes to incorporate actual allocation amounts into its plan, prior to its submission.
V. Pre-Award Costs
A. General Provisions applicable to all Consolidated Plan programs
Special attention must be paid to situations in which a grantee wishes to incur costs prior to
grant award. For example, under certain programs, a grantee may want to execute annual renewals
of agreements with social service providers in order to prevent interruption of social services. The
annual performance cycle of thesfficial
program year start date but, under this Notice the grantee cannot even submit its Action Plan until
after the date that the agreements need to be executed. Thus, the timing instructions in this Notice
may cause some program costs to be classified as pre-award costs where they would otherwise not
have been.
The government-wide Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit
Requirements regulation, at 2 CFR Part 200, contains language concerning agency approval of pre-
award costs. The language at 2 CFR 200.458 applies to any program that does not have its own
separate provisions concerning authorization of pre-award costs:
7
§ 200.458. Pre-award costs. Pre-award costs are those incurred prior to the
effective date of the Federal award directly pursuant to the negotiation and in
anticipation of the Federal award where such costs are necessary for efficient and
timely performance of the scope of work. Such costs are allowable only to the
extent that they would have been allowable if incurred after the date of the Federal
award and only with the written approval of the Federal awarding agency.
The ESG, HOPWA and HTF program regulations do not contain program-specific language
establishing pre-award cost requirements for those programs; the CDBG and HOME program
regulations do contain pre-award cost requirements unique to those programs. (However, the
HOME requirements apply only to certain types of pre-award costs.) The following guidance
applies to all five programs. Additionally, guidance unique to each separate program is provided
below.
The Part 91 consolidated p
Most notably, 24 CFR 91.105(b) and 91.115(b) describe the citizen participation
For purposes of this Notice regarding pre-award costs,
once a grantee has completed the publication, public hearing and public comment requirements at
24 CFR 91.105(b)(2), (3) and (4) or 91.115(b)(2), (3) and (4), and has developed its written
summary of comments received pursuant to 24 CFR 91.105(b)(5) or 91.115(b)(5).
To minimize additional workload on grantees and HUD field offices, this Notice establishes
the following procedures implementing the 2 CFR 200.458 requirements cited above. This Notice
provides HUD approval to incur pre-award costs if and when the grantee completes the following
documentation in its local files:
1. The grantee documents that the costs incurred prior to grant award are necessary for
efficient and timely performance of the activity in question.
2. The grantee documents that the costs are for eligible activities under the regulations for the
applicable funding program;
3. The grantee documents that the grantee has complied with all other requirements for pre-
award costs under the regulations for the applicable funding program or as described below;
4. The activity for which costs will be incurred is included in a consolidated plan/action plan;
5. The grantee documents completion of its citizen participation process by including in its
files a written, dated summary of citizen participation comments received on its plan,
pursuant to 24 CFR 91.105(b)(5) or 91.115(b)(5) as applicable.
If the grantee
(described below for each program), the date of HUD approval for pre-award costs is the date of the
rt date,
whichever is later.

B. Additional Provisions: Entitlement CDBG Program
The Entitlement CDBG program regulations specify, at 24 CFR 570.200(h), the situations
under which a grantee may incur costs prior to the effective date of its grant agreement. The
provisions of this Notice will affect how grantees comply with the pre-award cost reimbursement
requirements.
1.

year start date. This m-award costs.
2. Therefore, HUD has issued a waiver of 24 CFR 570.200(h) to the extent necessary to
implement the following 8 grant
agreement will be considered to be the earlier
date that the consolidated plan/action plan (with actual allocation amounts) is received by
HUD. Attachment A contains the HUD memorandum authorizing this waiver. This waiver
is applicable to any Entitlement CDBG grantee seeking to incur pre-award costs, whose
action plan submission is delayed past the normal submission date because of delayed
enactment of FY 2018 appropriations for the Department. An affected community applying
this waiver shall document in writing the conditions giving rise to the need to use this
use of this waiver is only in effect until August 16, 2018, as that is the last date that a grantee
may submit its FY 2018 action plan.
3. 24 CFR 570.200(h)(1)(i) requires that the activity for which the costs are being incurred
must be included in a consolidated plan/action plan prior to the costs being incurred; grantee
compliance with steps 4 and 5 under the general pre-award cost provisions above will meet
that requirement. However, grantees must also comply with §570.200(h)(1)(ii), which
further specifies that the plan must advise citizens of the extent to which the pre-award costs
will affect future grants. CDBG grantees intending to incur pre-award costs are cautioned
that option b. described in Section IV above is not likely to be a feasible alternative for
them. HUD advises any Entitlement CDBG grantee intending to incur pre-award costs to
follow the process described in Section IV. a. above; in doing so, the grantee will need to
ensure that it has met the citizen participation and notification requirements above.
4. Pursuant to § 570.200(h)(1)(iii) and § 570.604, the costs and corresponding activities must
comply with the environmental review requirements at 24 CFR Part 58.
C. Additional Provisions: HOME Program
The HOME regulations specify situations under which a grantee may incur costs prior to the
effective date of its grant agreement. The provisions of this Notice will affect how grantees comply
with the pre-award cost reimbursement requirements.

24 CFR 92.212(b) to the extent necessary to implement an alternative requirement: the
8 grant agreement will be considered to be the earlier of

plan/action plan (with actual allocation amounts) is received by HUD.
2. Attachment A contains the HUD memorandum authorizing this waiver. This waiver is
applicable to any HOME participating jurisdiction seeking to incur pre-award administrative
and planning costs, whose action plan submission is delayed past the normal submission
date because of delayed enactment of FY 2018 appropriations for the Department. An
affected participating jurisdiction applying this waiver shall document in writing the
conditions giving rise to the need to use this waiver, and maintain the documentation for
effect until August 16, 2018, as that is the last date that a grantee may submit its FY 2018
action plan.
D. Additional Provisions: ESG Program
An ESG grantee is permitted to incur pre-award costs against its FY 2018 grant, provided
that the grantee has met the general conditions described above, plus the following conditions:
1. The costs and corresponding activities must comply with the Emergency Solutions Grants
(ESG) Program regulations at 24 CFR Part 576.
2. The costs and corresponding activities must comply with environmental review
requirements. -21),
(Public Law 112-
including authorization to permit recipients and other responsible entities to assume HUD
environmental review responsibilities in accordance with 24 CFR Part 58. Initially, for FY
2012 ESG funds, ESG projects were subject to the environmental review procedures under
24 CFR Part 50, which assigns HUD all environmental review responsibilities due to the
-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
Now, recipients or other Responsible Entities assume environmental review responsibilities
under 24 CFR Part 58.
E. Additional Provisions: HOPWA Program
A HOPWA grantee is permitted to incur pre-award costs against its FY 2018 grant,
provided that the grantee has met the general conditions described above, plus the following
conditions:
10
1. The costs are incurred for eligible activities undertaken in accordance with HOPWA
program regulations at 24 CFR Part 574.
2. The costs and corresponding activities must comply with environmental review
requirements at 24 CFR 574.510.
F. Additional Provisions: HTF Program
HUD is authorizing HTF grantees to incur pre-award costs permitted under 2 CFR 200.458
for planning activities and preparation of the HTF allocation plan. Eligible pre-award costs may
include the cost of public hearings, consultations, and publication of public notices, as well as
developing program guidelines. Pre-award costs may not exceed 5% of the minimum allocation
amount of $3 million. This is one half of the grant amount that the state may use for administration
and planning in accordance with 24 CFR 93.202, based on receiving a minimum grant amount. The
costs and corresponding activities must comply with the environmental review requirements at 24
CFR 93.301(f).
VI. Applicability of This Notice to Future Years
This Notice only applies to consolidated plans/action plans submitted for FY 2018 funding
on or before August 16, 2018, or 60 days after HUD announcement of the FY 2018 allocation
amounts for CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA funding (whichever is earlier). HUD anticipates
revising the Consolidated Plan regulations (and other related regulations) to explicitly include, as a
llocation
amounts. For further information

amendments to the Consolidated Plan regulations and the CDBG Entitlement regulations to effect
such a change. See in particular Sections II.B.1., II.B.2 and II.B.7 of the Notice, pages 31544 and
31546. (Please note, however, that the public comment period for that Federal Register Notice has
closed.)
