NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of San Clemente City Council will hold a public hearing and public comment period for the Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. This action is taken in compliance with federal regulations [24 CFR 91].
As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the City must prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years. The City is also required to update the related Action Plan annually. The Consolidated Plan is a multi-year strategic plan that identifies housing and community priority needs, strategies to address priority needs, and programs/resources to address these needs. The Action Plan delineates proposed activities to be funded under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) CDBG program. The current 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was approved by the San Clemente City Council in May 2020. The draft 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan is available for public review.
30-Day Public Comment Period
The required 30-day public comment period for the 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan will begin March 31, 2022, and end on May 2, 2022. The draft document will be available for public review during regular business hours at City Hall at the Community Development Department at 910 Calle Negocio and on the City’s website at https://www.san-clemente.org/departments-services/housing-and-social-services. Written comments may be submitted to Janet Batchelor, Management Analyst at 910 Calle Negocio, San Clemente, 92673, or BatchelorJ@san-clemente.org on or before noon May 2, 2022.
2022-2023 Action Plan
To date, HUD has not published FY 2022-2023 CDBG allocations; however, for planning purposes, the City anticipates it will receive an allocation of $329,535 in CDBG funds for FY 2022-2023.
