throughout the County to solicit public comment on community needs. The County
published a request for CDBG proposals and the City received three applications. Total
available funding for the 2019 cycle, based on previous levels, is anticipated to be
approximately $128,031. Final funding amounts are anticipated to be released by the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) in early 201 9.
The City will also receive $52,929 from the City of Morro Bay’s CDBG allocation for a
combined total of $180,960. In 2016 the City of Atascadero reallocated $236,420 to
Morro Bay to complete a shovel ready project. The City of Morro Bay will allocate their
annual CDBG funding to Atascadero on a dollar-per-dollar repayment basis beginning
with the 2017 CDBG year until the balance is paid in full. The City received repayment
from Morro Bay in 2017 ($67,566) and 2018 ($89,463) leaving a balance owed of
$79,367prior to the 2019 CDBG cycle.
CDBG funds are available for community development activities, which meet at least
one of the three national objectives:
1. A benefit to low and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of blight;
3. Address urgent needs that pose a se rious and immediate threat to the health or
welfare of the community.
In order for a program to qualify under the low and moderate income objective, at least
51% of the persons benefiting from the project or program must earn no more than 80%

of the area median. Additionally, at least 70% of the CDBG funds must be spent toward
this objective.
There is a minimum award threshold of $8,000 per project, meaning the City can only
allocate less than $8,000 for a particular public service activity if another ag ency in the
County commits to programming the remainder to equal a Countywide cumulative total
of at least $8,000.
The following criteria should also be used to guide selection of CDBG programs:
1. The proposal is consistent with the national objectives a nd eligibility criteria of
the HUD CDBG program;
2. The proposal is consistent with the Urban County Consolidated Plan;
3. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and other City
codes/ordinances.
4. The proposal will achieve multiple community development objectives;
5. The proposal can be implemented in a timely manner, without significant
environmental, policy, procedural, legal, or fiscal obstacles to overcome; and
6. The project is not financially feasible without CDBG funding.

Upon approval, the draft funding recommendations will be forwarded to the County for

30 days after publication, a second workshop will be held to allow questions from
applicants regarding the draft recommendations, after which the draft allocations will be
forwarded to City Council, with comments from the workshop, for final approval and
forwarding to the County Board of Supervisors. The following is a brief explanation of
the funding groups and applications within each:
PUBLIC FACILITIES - Public Facilities are defined as activities relating to real property,
including the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or inst allation of public
improvements. These activities can be carried out by a grantee, subrecipient or other
nonprofit.
City of Atascadero – Santa Rosa Accessibility - Barrier Removal Project
Funds Requested: $140,000
Funds Available: $147,521 ($83,220 Atascadero 2019, $52,929 Morro Bay repayment,
Administrative Reallocation $11,372)
The Santa Rosa sidewalk, from the northwest corner of El Camino Real to the north
bound Freeway 101 on ramp (adjacent to Motel 6), warrants improvements to increase
accessibility for the traveling public due to its dilapidated and non-compliant condition.
This project proposes to remove and replace approximately 400 linear feet of currently
non-ADA compliant sidewalk, and a curb ramp at the NW corner of El Camino Real and
Santa Rosa Road. In addition, a small (3’-5’) retaining wall, handrail, and associated
curb and gutter work will complete the project. The infrastructure improvements
providing wheelchair ramps and ADA compliant sidewalks will aid those with mobility
impairments.
PUBLIC SERVICES - 15% cap on percentage of award from this category estimated at
$19,205 this cycle.
CDBG regulations allow for a wide range of public service activities, including, but not
limited to: employment services, crime prevention, child care, health services,
substance abuse services, fair housing counseling and recreational services.

City of Atascadero – Youth Activity Scholarship Fund
Funds Requested: $12,500
The City administers the Youth Activity Scholarship Fund to allow the children of very
low and low-income families to participate in recreational and social activities, to keep
children active and engaged. Because this program is limited to very-low and
low-income families, the benefit criteria will be met.
El Camino Homeless Organization – Operation of Homeless Shelter
Funds Requested: $10,000
El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) is the only homeless shelter in Northern San
Luis Obispo County providing transitional shelter, a daily meal program, transportation
assistance and referrals for job search workshops and parenting classes. In 2015, ECHO
completed a major renovation that included the expansion of the shelter from 31 to 50 beds
which provided a 60% increase in the number of clients served. The ECHO shelter intake
process and all ancillary services are located at 6370 Atascadero Avenue in Atascadero.
ADMINISTRATION – Limited to 20% of 2019 Allocation ($25,606)
City of Atascadero – CDBG Program Administration- limited to 7% of the 2019
Allocation
Funds Requested: $8,962
Significant City staff time from Administration, Public Works and Administrative Services
is required for CDBG administration, and coordination with County Planning staff. The
City’s administrative portion of the funding cannot exceed 7%, or $8,962 of the total
administrative grant amount.
If administration costs exceed the funding allocation, the remaining cost of administering
the program will need to be paid from the general fund.
County of San Luis Obispo – CDBG Program Administration- limited to 13% of the
2019 Allocation
Allocated Funds: City of Atascadero $16,644
Due to the complexity of grant administration responsibilities and the consequences of
non-compliance, HUD recommends that the County provide all monitoring and oversight
for all CDBG grants. The County will assume the duties of project oversight, and
receive a required 13% of the total grant funds for administration services for
Atascadero in the amount of $16,644.
Conclusion:
There is sufficient CDBG funding for the Public Facilities application for the Santa Rosa
Accessibility project with the Morro Bay payment and reallocation of CDBG balances
from 2016 and 2017. However, there is not enough funding for the two Public Services
application requests from Atascadero Recreation and ECHO. Council will need to
recommend draft allocations. A final recommendation will need to be made by Council
in March 2019 when final CDBG funding amounts are known.
