The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the City of Pittsburg (City) to prepare and adopt an AAP for CDBG Funds. The draft AAP covers the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and describes the programs and services that the City will fund in FY 2026-27. The City is a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction and received $652,097 from HUD for FY 2025-26. Whilst the allocations for FY 2026-2027 have not been released as of today, It is estimated the City will receive funds close to FY 2025-2026 allocation levels. According to a set formula in the HUD regulations there is a 15% cap for Public Services (PS) and a 20% cap for program administration and planning activities (Admin). The total amount of CDBG funds obligated for PS activities must not exceed 15% of the sum of the entitlement grant for that program year plus Program Income (PI) received during the prior year. The allocation of staff-time costs and overhead charges to Admin must not exceed 20% of the sum of the entitlement grant for that program year plus the estimated revenue from PI to be received during that same program year. The remaining 65% of the funds available for allocation may be obligated towards Economic Development, Housing, and Infrastructure/Public Facilities (collectively known as "Other") activities. Pursuant to City guidelines, the minimum amount that can be awarded is $10,000.
