The Riverbank City Council voted April 23 to approve the Stanislaus Urban County and Stanislaus HOME Consortium annual action plan for fiscal year 2024–25 and authorized the city manager to execute required agreements.
Leticia Ibanez, the city’s housing specialist, explained the plan covers the Stanislaus Urban County’s distribution of HUD entitlement funds — Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) — and described eligible activities such as infrastructure, housing rehabilitation, homeless prevention, rapid rehousing and public services. Ibanez said the plan is due to HUD in May 2024 and covers activities from July 1, 2024, through July 30, 2025.
Transcript figures describing estimated allocations included figures presented for CDBG, ESG and HOME on staff slides; council and members of the public pressed staff on how rapid rehousing works when local housing supply is constrained. Staff and several speakers explained that ESG and HOME programs are administered regionally through the county and nonprofit partners, that rapid rehousing assumes available housing and that outreach materials and flyers are collected and made available at city counters; staff noted translation/limited-English outreach remains a challenge and encouraged use of county resources and 2‑1‑1 for navigation.
After public comment and council discussion the Council approved the resolution to adopt the annual action plan on a 5–0 vote.
What’s next: The city manager will execute the CDBG/HOME consortium agreement and staff will continue coordination with county and nonprofit partners to implement funded activities; the plan will be submitted to HUD.
