Resolution
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2071. A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement between City of San Luis, City of Somerton, City of Yuma, County of Yuma and Town of Wellton for the Consortium of the Federal HOME Program. (Jenny Torres, Economic Development Manager)
SUMMARY:
All the communities within Yuma County desire to join together to participate in the Yuma County HOME Consortium for the purpose of receiving HOME allocations directly from the federal government instead of applying for HOME funds from the state. The City of Yuma is the administrator for the program. The HOME consortium board is made up of a representative from each community. The HOME consortium uses a point-based system to guide funding decisions to ensure equitable distribution of HOME dollars among all units of local government. An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) would need to be approved by all units of local government in order to re-submit the request to continue to be a consortium to the state and federal agencies.
The HOME Consortium has directed approximately $1.8 million toward creating and preserving affordable Housing. A list of HOME funding recipients, projects, location, and funding is attached for your review. Staff is recommending that we enter into a renewal IGA and continue to participate in the Yuma County HOME Consortium for another three-year period.
