SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO
PY 2019/2020 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
TO ADD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT-CORONAVIRUS
(CDBG-CV3) FUNDS AND ACTIVITIES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 11, 2020, HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD)
posted the third (final) round allocations of $1.988 billion from the $5 billion
supplemental Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG-CV) Congress
appropriated by the CARES Act. The second round of $1 billion was announced on May
11 and allocated directly to states. The Substantial Amendment is drafted with the
guidance from HUD that has been available, including that the CDBG-CV3 funds
allocated under the CARES Act must be used for preparation for, prevention of, and
response to the COVID-19.
The City of Menifee will receive $404,459 in Community Development Block Grant-
Coronavirus (CDBG- CV3) funding. A Substantial Amendment to the 2020/2021
Annual Action Plan is required; and is being amended here to satisfy that requirement.
Substantial Amendments are required to follow the City’s Citizen Participation Plan,
which, under normal circumstances, requires a public comment period for the
Substantial Amendment of 30 days. However, to more quickly implement the funds
and activities of the CDBG-CV3, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has waived that requirement with amendment to the City’s
Citizen Participation Plan, reducing the public comment period to five (5) days.
All CDBG-CV3 activities must still meet a National Objective of the CDBG Program:
Benefit low-and-moderate income people
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or blight
Meet an urgent need
OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES
The CARES act bill included the following administrative changes
Removed the requirement for in-person public hearings to comply with national
and local social gathering requirements and stay-at-home orders and to all for
virtual public hearings.

A reduced public comment period from 30 days to five (5) days.
Elimination of the cap on the amount of funds a grantee can spend on public
services (for CDBG grant years 2019 and 2020 and CDBG-CV funds only). The
cap is generally 15%.
Allowed for grantees to be reimbursed COVID-19 response activities regardless
of the date the costs were incurred.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
A Notice of Public Hearing and a 5-day public review period was published in the Press
Enterprise and La Prensa on February 12, 2021 informing the public of the proposed
Substantial Amendment and inviting comments at the public hearing. The public review
period began on February 12, 2021 and ended on February 17, 2021 Citizens were able to
