10. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT SUBRECIPIENTS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic opportunities, specifically for low- and moderate-income persons. The City of Tustin's CDBG grant award for the 2022-23 program year is anticipated to be approximately $800,000 based on the prior year funding allocation provided by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Pursuant to CDBG program regulations, to carry out the program, the City will need to have at least two public hearings. One hearing is conducted during the preparation of the Action Plan, and another for the adoption of the Action Plan. This is the first public hearing, with the purpose to inform interested citizens about the CDBG program, obtain citizens' views on CDBG priorities, and to provide a report on the performance of the eleven (11) current year public service CDBG fund subrecipients (also known as nonprofit subrecipients).
