V. Chair’s Report - Small Business Revolving Loan (SBRL) Fund
The Chair directed attention the the enclosed press release from Tom Knipe, Deputy Director
of Economic Development, City of Ithaca. The program received 157 applications and 97 were
funded. The program targeted microenterprises of fewer than 5 employees (including the
owner/s). Businesses of this size had difficulty accessing other federal programs.
Mendizabal said that she had read one of the businesses, Shortstop Deli was partnering with
area nonprofits to provide meals for those in need and asked if Members knew how that was
going. Farrell said that news of the program was posted on the Washington Park
neighborhood listserv and that many neighbors had contributed.
VI. HUD Entitlement Grant Program 2020
A. Status of IURA-Recommended Projects
Farrell asked were Project Growing Hope was in documenting whether or not over 50% of
participants are LMI. Mendizabal stated that documentation is still in progress as they are still
registering gardeners and collecting data. She will reach out again.
Mendizabal reported that HETP was still planning on conducting its program in a classroom
environment, if possible. HETP has found that the group training allows participants to support
each other and network, which is a valuable component. Mendizabal noted that currently HETP is
supporting its participants remotely, sharing the example of one participant who was placed in a
front-line job just before the pandemic. HETP has been in touch with that participant by phone,
giving him support and helping him with some needs that have arisen and have been hard to meet
during the pandemic. HETP has stated it will try to remain nimble, and adjust if needed, so could
potentially go to a different program model if social distancing measures stay in effect during the
2020/21 program year.
HETP and ReUse both expressed thanks for being recommended projects, and were understanding
of the scaling that occurred. Other applicants Mendizabal has been in touch with were likewise
appreciative of being recommended, even if scaled.
B. Next Steps/Look Ahead
Mendizabal reported that the 2020 HUD Entitlement Action Plan is proceeding as it normally does.
Though HUD has issued waiver for the expedited public engagement process, since this funding
does not arrive until Fall, we probably will not need the expedited process. The next Public Hearing
will occur at the May 13 Planning and Economic Development Committee (PEDC) of Common
Council.
VII. Overview: HUD Mega-waiver
Mendizabal explained that HUD has issued a large number of waivers for its various programs,
explained in a wide-reaching memo. Collectively, this is being called the “Mega-waiver.”
Waivers of particular import to the HUD Entitlement Program is the expedited public
engagement process whereby grantees notify HUD of intention to use the expedited process
two days in advance of the five-day public engagement process for CDBG-CV (among other
programs) proposals. The expedited five-day public engagement process must include
provisions for written comment and a live-streamed virtual hearing with provisions allowing
the public to comment in real time. Notice about the expedited public process need not
appear in the newspaper, but must be posted on various public platforms. So far Mendizabal
has posted notice on the Human Services Listserv, the Tompkins County Mutual Aid Facebook
Page (devoted to COVID news), in emails to Alderpeople, in emails to funded partners, and
more. The first two of this type of hearings were held at Common Council on May 6 for the
Third Amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan and the proposed CDBG-CV Emergency
Rental Assistance program.
Another important waiver waives the 15% cap on Public Services funding for CDBG-CV and the
2020 Action Plan. Action Plans from 2019 may also reprogram funds toward Public Services
and exceed the usual 15% cap. Substantial amendments must be filed.
The resolution for the Third Amendment (disaster-related changes) to the CP Plan was adopted
on May 6. The proposal for Emergency Rental Assistance will go to PEDC on May 6.
VIII. New/Other Business
A. CARES ACT CDBG - CV Funding to the City of Ithaca
1. Amount, framework
2
Entitlement Communities receive (an additional) 60% of this year’s regular annual award
allocation in CDBG-CV. The City of Ithaca will receive approximately $400K in CDBG-CV funding,
of which $320K will be available for projects.
2. Approaches to select activities for funding from CDBG-CV funds
HUD has not provided extensive guidance about how to allocate this funding, except to say to
get it into the community “quickly and compliantly.” Further guidance is expected with the
award arrives. In keeping with the instruction to distribute it “quickly and compliantly,” Staff
recommended a process that involves parallel pathways: solicited projects and an expedited
RFP process. Stakeholder input indicates that emergency rental assistance, COVID prevention
and relief for people experiencing homelessness, and relief for nonprofits, especially anchor
institutions, are needed. Proposals for these needs will likely be solicited, and, in fact, in the
case of rental assistance already have been. Staff is developing a modified RFP which will be
released hopefully next week, by which applicants with ideas and solutions for emerging needs
can propose projects.
3. Priority needs/gaps to respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Emergency rental assistance, disease prevention and recovery for people experiencing
homelessness, and assistance to nonprofits, particularly anchor institutions. Mendizabal noted
that LawNY contacted her with ideas related to eviction prevention and she will be in contact
with them for the RFP. Mendizabal has also joined a local funders’ collaborative headed up by
Park and Community Foundations on COVID Response.
Mendizabal explained Emergency Rental Assistance is a CDBG-compliant activity and cannot be
used for more than three consecutive months. It is part of an “emergency grant” category, it is
not the same as HOME Program Tenant-Based Rental Assistance. Tompkins County
reprogrammed about $600K in CDBG funding that was to be used by INHS for homeowner
rehab; it will not be used for emergency rental assistance. In order to join with the County, and
INHS, which has some additional funding streams that it will direct to rental assistance, and to
create the most seamless process possible, IURA also identified INHS as the proposed sponsor
of this project. In this way, anyone applying to this program within the county can go through
the same agency. INHS has experience with administering a variety of federal funding streams
and the capacity to do so for this type of project. INHS is currently developing the framework
for its program. There was a conversation convened by HSC’s Hoousing Tompkins program to
explore the possibility of a coordinated entry approach (similar to what is now used by the
Continuum of Care for homeless housing), in order to incorporate more wrap-around services.
It remains to be seen whether this will be the approach taken. There has been some public
comment that INHS does not have experience administering rental assistance. There has also
been public comment indicating potential conflict of interest since INHS is both a landlord and
would be administering the program. IURA Staff has reached out to HUD for further guidance.
Similarly, were a relative of INHS Board, IURA Staff, etc. to apply to the program, this could
represent a conflict of interest.
Halpert asked about the negotiating with landlords about the amount of rental assistance paid,
which could thereby extend the reach of the pool of funds. Mendizabal acknowledged that this
was idea considered, yet, because of the need to review applications, the time and staff hours
involved, and more reasons, the approach that was instead landed on was provision of three
full months of rent per household accepted. However, Mendizabal pointed out that if further
3
funding comes to the City, lessons learned in this round of rental assistance could be applied to
future programming, and modifications made, if needed.
Halpert also wondered about delivery of food and needed goods to residents via school buses.
This has been an effort sponsored by Ithaca City School District. Chair Graham noted that the
Child Development Council was involved in the provision of diapers.
4. Identification of further priority needs
The RFP process and the funders’ collaborative for COVID Response will be an important way of
garnering more information.
5. Draft schedule to develop CDBG-CV Action Plan
Mendizabal has drafted a schedule which is available on the IURA Website. RFP to be released
next week and applications reviewed at the next IURA meeting (May 23).
B. Amendment #3 to the HUD Citizen Participation Plan, COVID-19
Discussed above.
IX. Motion to Adjourn
Motion by Halpert, second by Farrell. 4-0. Adjourned at 9:43 AM.
