INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Monica receives annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME entitlement grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). In order to receive and use these funds, the City is required to hold a
public hearing and submit the FY 2004-05 One-Year Action Plan (Attachment I) to HUD.
BACKGROUND

specific projects and activities for one-year use of CDBG and HOME funds in order to meet

Consolidated Plan (FY 2000-05) adopted by City Council and submitted to HUD in June
