Lakewood Citizens Advisory Committee FY22 HUD Annual Action Plan Contingency Provisions Language Introduction FY22 CAC allocation recommendations are based on estimates of Lakewood's 2022 CDBG ($1,900,000) and ESG ($160,000) awards. ■ Because the City's FY22 Annual Action Plan cannot be submitted until HUD announces Lakewood's actual FY22 CDBG & ESG awards, which typically occurs several months into the 2022 program year, the draft Action Plan issued for public review and comment must include these estimates. ■ HUD requires the inclusion of contingency provision language in the draft Action Plan explaining how estimated allocations will be adjusted to match actual FY22 CDBG & ESG awards once they are known. ■ The following CDBG & ESG contingency provision language is proposed for inclusion in Lakewood's draft FY22 Action Plan. Community Development Block Grant In the event Lakewood's FY22 CDBG award is less than the City's $1.9M estimate, allocation decreases shall be distributed as follows: ■ To comply with the statutory 15% Public Services funding cap, total FY22 Public Services allocations will be reduced from $285,000 to 15% of the City's actual FY22 CDBG award. ■ Line -item allocation decreases will be distributed proportionally among Public Services activities receiving an FY22 allocation according to each activity's original percentage of total FY22 Public Services allocations. ■ If necessary, additional funding reductions required to align FY22 CDBG allocations with Lakewood's actual FY22 CDBG award will be distributed among non -Public Services activities receiving an FY22 allocation at the discretion of Department of, Planning & Development staff in accordance with Lakewood's community and economic development goals and objectives; approved City planning documents; and CDBG regulatory requirements. In the event Lakewood's FY22 CDBG award is greater than the City's $1.9M estimate, allocation increases shall be distributed as follows: ■ Total FY22 Public Services allocations will be increased from $285,000 to 15% of the City's actual FY22 CDBG award. ■ Line -item allocation increases will be distributed proportionally among Public Services activities with estimated allocations less than 100% of their FY22 funding request according to each activity's original percentage of total FY22 Public Services allocations. ■ The balance of the difference between Lakewood's estimated and actual FY22 CDBG awards will be distributed among non -Public Services activities receiving an FY22 allocation at the discretion of Department of Planning & Development staff in accordance with Lakewood's community and economic development goals and objectives; approved City planning documents; and CDBG regulatory requirements. Emergency Solutions Grant In the event Lakewood receives an FY22 ESG award less than the City's $160,000 estimate, funding reductions in an amount equal to the difference between $160,000 and the City's actual FY22 ESG award will be distributed among Lakewood Community Services Center's Homelessness Prevention and Emergency Shelter programs with exact amounts determined jointly by Department of Planning & Development staff and LCSC's Executive Director. In the event Lakewood receives an FY22 ESG award greater than the City's $160,000 estimate, funding increases in an amount equal to the difference between $160,000 and the City's actual FY22 ESG award will be distributed between LCSC's Homelessness Prevention and Emergency Shelter programs with exact amounts determined jointly by Department of Planning & Development staff and LCSC's Executive Director.
