Background Each year, the City of Newport Beach receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to implement a variety of housing, community and economic development activities. The funds are from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The program is subject to the HUD Consolidated Plan regulations found at 24 CFR Part 91, which requires the City to prepare a five -year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports. The regulations require citizen participation as part of the development and approval of these documents. The Consolidated Plan includes an assessment and prioritization of housing and community needs, a list of local, state and federal resources that are available to meet identified needs and Newport Beach's local strategies to address priority needs over the five -year period. The current operative Consolidated Plan was approved April 27, 2010 and submitted to HUD covering the period of July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2015. According to the City's current adopted Citizen Participation Plan, changes to the Consolidated Plan are considered "Substantial Amendments" when any of the following occurs: • The Citizen Participation Plan is altered; • The City's housing goals or objectives are altered; • The City's non - housing goals or objectives are altered; or • HUD awards additional funds for new initiatives, as they become available. Substantial Amendments require a public review and comment period with a formal notice published in the Daily Pilot newspaper announcing the availability of the Substantial Amendment Document at the Newport Beach Central Library, Community Development Department, and City Clerk's Office for a period of 30 days. The public review period ends with the conclusion of the Public Hearing before the City Council at the regularly scheduled meeting designated in the public notice. II. 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan Amendment The City established certain numeric accomplishment goals in connection with the priority needs and strategic plan goals identified in the 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan. Those goals were established based on an evaluation of past performance and of funds anticipated to be available during the 5 -year period. This substantial amendment does not amend the needs assessment, market analysis or priority needs established in the 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan, but rather amends the 5 -year numeric accomplishment goals to reflect anticipated program performance for the remainder of the 5 -year Consolidated Plan period, which ends on June 30, 2015. This amendment has no impact on funding levels from HUD.
