Joint Resolution - Approval of the Third Amendment to the Program Year 2020 Annual Action Plan (AAP).
· HUD requires the submission of an Annual Action Plan (AAP) and associated amendments to govern expenditure of federal housing and community development funding for each program year.
· HUD notified Lake County that an error was made in calculating Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) allocations resulting in a slight reduction to Lake County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME grants. The revised FY20 allocations are $2,904,904 CDBG and $1,669,965 HOME. A total of $459.00 CDBG program income and $346.00 HOME program income has been allocated to account for the difference and ensure availability of funds already committed through the approved AAP.
· Additionally, the AAP assigns prior year funds made available through loan repayments and project changes. The AAP allocates $30,763.00 of CDBG program income, $92,847.63 CDBG prior year funds, $109,675 Lake County Affordable Housing Program (LCAHP) prior year funds and $14,124.00 HOME program income in the following ways:
o $13,476.63 in CDBG and $109,675 in LCAHP to Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) for the acquisition of affordable housing properties in Libertyville, IL
o $109,675 of prior year CDBG to CPAH for acquisition of a Community Land Trust (CLT) unit.
o $13,778.40 in HOME funds to CPAH for the down payment assistance program.
