A. FY2020/21 CDBG Funding
1) Funding Recommendation: Joe Perez reported that a determination had been made by
Community and Economic Development staff to use funding previously allocated to the Council on
Aging (whom have since declined further participation in the CDBG funding process) for the Senior
Safety Net pilot program that proposes to assist Anaheim senior citizens with emergency rental
assistance. Joe reported that what had been seen as a reduction in January was no longer the
case since CDBG funding will remain to serve senior citizens, which is one of the three core
funding categories the CSB provides a recommendation in funding.
