Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into A Community Development Block Grant Funding Subrecipient Agreement With Metrocrest Services, In An Amount Not To Exceed $106,650.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This item appears on the agenda to approve a subrecipient agreement between Metrocrest Services and the City of Carrollton to continue Community Development Block Grant funding for the purposes of providing homelessness assistance to low- to moderate-income Carrollton residents.
On August 6, 2024, City Council held a public hearing and approved a resolution adopting the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year (PY) 2024 One-Year Action Plan and Budget. This resolution established the PY24 program budgets for funding received on October 1, 2024 totaling $711,716 in allocated funds to benefit persons of low- to moderate-income. Of this total amended CDBG allocation, $106,650 in PY23 CDBG funding was allocated to Metrocrest Services to provide homeless assistance for Carrollton residents.
All activities in the proposed PY 2024 CDBG budget were identified as major priorities in the 2024-2028 Consolidated Plan approved by City Council on August 6, 2024. The proposed plan and subrecipient agreement reflects a continued support for homeless assistance in the community.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The CDBG allocation of $106,650 provides a continued financial resource for Metrocrest Services to respond to homelessness and to assist low- to moderate-income Carrollton residents.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
Annually, the Carrollton Community Development Block Grant program secures, allocates, and administers approximately $750,000 in new community development resources for use in the low- to moderate-income areas of the City. Long-term community sustainability is supported through the City’s partnerships to address homelessness.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a CDBG Subrecipient Agreement with Metrocrest Services to utilize CDBG funding in an amount not to exceed $106,650.
