This action allocates new funds in accordance with the 2008 Action Plan and Amendment of the Housing and Community Development Plan submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development on November 26, 2008, and further amended and resubmitted on December 15, 2008. As was discussed with the Community & Economic Development Committee on November 6, 2008, the 2008 HCD Action Plan NSP Amendment was the subject of a 15-day public comment period that began November 11, 2008 and expired November 25, 2008. The funds being made available are part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and represent a one time formula allocation to South Bend as an entitlement community. The City received the Release of Funds Notice on March 1, 2009. Grantees will have 18 months to use the funds awarded to them. That 18 month period is triggered by HUD's execution of the Grant Agreement, of which we have a fully executed copy dated March 23, 2009. Should there be any questions on this bill please contact me at 235-5845. Jeff Gibney or I will be present to address this issue at the Apri127"' meeting. Thank you. _ Sin rel ~ amela C.
