EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Fresno is an annual recipient of federal entitlement program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). A condition of receiving these funds is the preparation of an annual action plan detailing program expenditures and the benefit to low and moderate-income persons. Staff proposes to amend the current year Annual Action Plan to change existing CDBG awards and create programs that will serve as a financial match to federal homeless and lead hazard control grants; and identify the location of street and sidewalk improvement projects in the Neighborhood Infrastructure Program.
