TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS, AND PERSONS:
On Tuesday, April 24, 2012, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will consider the Proposed Consolidated Plan One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013. The Consolidated Community Funding Advisory Committee (CCFAC), the citizen advisory group that oversees the preparation of the Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013, has released the Proposed Plan for public comment. The FY 2013 Action Plan covers the third year of the County’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2011-2015. The Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013 identifies the proposed use of funds for four federal programs with an estimated amount of $6.7 million: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG - $4,414,224), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME - $1,405,283), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG - $469,222), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA - $438,386). The funding levels used for CDBG, HOME, and ESG are based on formal notification from HUD of actual grant levels. Funding for the HOPWA program is estimated at the FY 2011 expenditure level. It is estimated that there will be approximately $300,000 in CDBG program income. The Proposed Action Plan also proposes a reallocation of CDBG funds carried over from prior years. The Proposed Action Plan proposes using CDBG funds totaling $891,106 and HOME funds totaling $335,796and reallocating them as follows:

The Proposed One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013 also includes the first year of the two-year funding cycle for the Consolidated Community Funding Pool (CCFP) for FY 2013-2014. It identifies funding (an estimated $10.7 million in federal, State, and local funds, which includes $1.6million in FY 2013 CDBG entitlement funds and approximately $200,000 in prior year CDBG funds to be reallocated to the CCFP) to be made available to nonprofit organizations for community-based programs that are recommended for awards. The awards are based on the recommendations from the Selection Advisory Committee appointed to review the proposals received through the competitive CCFP solicitation process for FY 2013-2014. However, final awards for FY 2013 are subject to appropriations by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, to be decided through the county budget approval process in April 2012. In addition, the Proposed Consolidated Plan One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013 identifies: (1) various public and private resources available for housing and community development activities; (2) the goals and objectives for the Five-Year Consolidated Plan; and (3) the FY 2013-2014 CCFP funding priorities.
