City of San Marcos: Notice of Public Hearing: City of San Marcos 2013/14 CDBG/HOME Funding

The City of San Marcos will hold a public hearing on May 14, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Drive, San Marcos, CA 92069, to report on the proposed uses of the City’s 2013/14 Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds in the City’s proposed 2013/14 Annual Action Plan (AAP). Both CDBG and HOME funds are provided by the Federal government to local jurisdictions to help improve the quality of life and housing availability for low- to moderate-income residents.

The AAP describes the programs and projects the City will expend its CDBG and HOME allocation for the coming year for the benefit of low- and moderate- income persons. The City received $606,858 in CDBG funds and $120,000 in HOME funds in Program Year 2012/13. Although final allocations have not been set, there is an expected 5% reduction in funding for this upcoming program year. Program Year 2013/14 begins July 1, 2013 and ends June 30, 2014.

After the public hearing, the City Council is scheduled to take action on the proposed allocation of funding for the City’s Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2013/14. Citizen participation is encouraged during the development of the City’s AAP. The City has published a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) which documents how the City intends to involve the community in the planning process.
