Title
Consider recommendations regarding the 2013/2014 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant Funding and a Request For Proposals (RFP) for a Project Sponsor for funding from the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Continuum of Care Supportive Housing Program, as follows:
a) Direct the Community Services Department's (CSD) Housing and Community Development Division's (HCD) staff to:
i) Publish the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for federal funds received through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding programs; and
ii) Issue a Request For Proposals (RFP) for a Project Sponsor of the Lompoc Transformative Housing Project as part of the funding awarded under the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Continuum of Care Supportive Housing Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA);
b) Authorize HCD staff to delay the publication of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program NOFA; and
c) Determine that the recommended actions are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the project is a creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and direct staff to file the Notice of Exemption.
