the first public hearing for both the allocation of CDBG funds and the Annual Plan. The
Annual Plan has been in distribution since March 11,2011and no comments have been
received. It isthereforerecommended that the City Council adopt both the Annual Plan and
the allocations as recommended by the Housing Commission
Below are summariesof the Housing Commissionactions and basic information regarding the
content and purpose of the Annual Actual Plan.
Cupertino Housing Commission:
On May 18, 2010, the City Council approved a revised Citizen Participation Plan as part of its
2010-2015Consolidated Plan. Prior to expending CDBG dollars, the City is required to have
a Citizen Participation Plan, Consolidated Plan and an Annual Plan in place. As part of the
revised Citizen Participation Plan, the City declared that the Cupertino Housing Commission
would serve as the advisory body on CDBG matters. The Housing Commission’s
responsibility is to make recommendations on policy, evaluate proposals received and make
funding recommendations to the City Council.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, Human Service grants, and FY 2011 Annual Action Plan
On March 10, 2011, the Housing Commission met and conducted a public hearing on the FY
2011-12 CDBG and Human Service funding allocations. The recommendations from the
Housing Commission are shown in Attachment B, Summary of Funding Allocations.
FY 2010-11Annual Action Plan:
Federal regulations require that each entitlement jurisdiction prepare an Annual Action Plan
th
and submit the plan no later than May 15of each year. The Annual Action Plan is a one-
year plan which describes the eligible programs, projects and activities to be undertaken with
funds expected during the program year (Fiscal Year 2011-2012) and theirrelationship to the
priority housing, homeless and community development needs outlined in the approved
Consolidated Plan. Furthermore, Federal regulations require the plan be made available for
30 days for public review and comment. The FY 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan (Attachment
C) was released for public review on March 11, 2011 for the 30-day review period. A notice
was placed in the local paper informing the public of its availability. TheMay 3, 2011
meeting is thefinal public hearing to approve the Annual Action Plan, with funding
recommendations,for submittal to HUD.
Fiscal Impact
The City of Cupertino is expecting to receive $353,012for fiscal year 2011-12, plus a
reallocation of $10,300 in projected program income from rehabilitation loan payoffs for a
total of $363,312.Since HUDhas not releasedthe 2011 allocations yet, any decrease in the
City’s entitlement will be reflected in a proportional decrease to all public service agencies.
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley and Senior Housing Solutions will not be affected by a
decrease since they qualify for Affordable Housing Funds which will be used to make up any
decrease in CDBG funding.
