Background and Analysis:
The City has a total of $155,330.34 in PY 2021 funds available to allocate to activities. This is due to a large amount of Program Income received during the program year, as well as the canceled activity 306, Housing Authority of Thurston County ($50,000 award). Program Income must be disbursed for eligible activities before the City can request entitlement funds from the U.S. Treasury: 24 CFR 570.504(b)(2)(ii) - Substantially all other program income shall be disbursed for eligible activities before additional cash withdrawals are made from the U.S. Treasury. Program income receipted in PY 2021 totaled $102,175.09 (not including program income directed to the Revolving Loan Fund). Due to the receipt of this program income, these funds were drawn before the allocated PY 2021 entitlement funds were drawn, so there is a surplus in unallocated CDBG funding. The City plans to propose an additional substantial amendment to the PY 2022 Annual Action Plan in the coming months to award additional unallocated funding to eligible activities.
