And each year, the County is required to apply to HUD for use of these funds in conjunction with the submission of that year's annual action plan. The 2025 Annual Action Plan is required to be submitted by August 16, 2025. We are requesting approval of the attached standard federal forms for the 2025 program including the application for federal assistance (Form SF -424), applicable assurances, and certifications and for authorization signature by the BOCC Chair. Once signed these forms will be submitted to HUD along with the 2025 Annual Action Plan. Upon approval of the plan and forms, Weld County will receive a 2025 grant agreemert from HUD for execution. What options exist for the Board? 1. Approval of the the federal standard forms for submission to HUD and authorization of the BOCC Chair to sign 2. Schedule a work session to further review these documents prior to authorizing the Chair's signature for their submission to HUD. Consequences: The County must submit an application for the use of federal funds, in this case FY 2025 CDBG funds, and the other federal forms listed above along with the 2025 Annual Action Plan to HUD to request the use of those funds for the activities stated in the annual action plan. This is a required step to move forward with the process of the County receiving a 2025 grant agreement for execution and ultimately being able to use the 2025 funding allocated it by HUD. Impacts: Without this step, the County could not access the 2025 CDBG funding allocated to it. Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years): The County's 2025 grant allocation of CDBG funds from HUD is $1,251,662.
