SUBMITTED BY: Joan Davenport, Acting Director of Community and Economic Development (509) 576 -6417 CONTACT Archie M. Matthews, Neighborhood Development PERSON/TELEPHONE: Services Manager (509) 575 - 6101 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The federal budget for 2012 reduced the expected CDBG entitlement amount by an estimated 17.3% and the expected HOME entitlement amount by an estimated 34.2 %. Bringing the estimated CDBG estimated amount to be received at approximately $887,581 and the estimated HOME amount to be received at approximately $393,000 in 2012. This reduced entitlement requires an Amendment to the City of Yakima 2012 Annual Action Plan CDBG and HOME entitlement amounts. Attached is a modified outline of the 2012 budget, reflecting potential changes to the program. Staff suggests that the reductions would be mostly spread across estimated CDBG programs therefore reducing programs equally as much as possible, there are still some significant reductions available to a few program lines that will allow for the least direct impact to low /moderate income individuals. The severe impact of the HOME entitlement reduction of 34.2 %, is compounded by the need to conclude the N. 3rd Street Affordable Housing project with the available 2012 HOME funds. This will likely severely impact some of the HOME homeownership programs for the program year of 2012. Two public hearings are required on these changes to the CDBG and HOME programs.
