Report to Redding City Council Apri130,2024 Re: 4.2(b)--CDBG-DR Workforce Development Grant Funding Page 2 Background/Analysis On February 20, 2024, Council approved the submittal of this grant application in an amount up to $6,096,458. California State Housing and Community Development staff have informed City staff that there are leftover funds from other jurisdictions that may be able to supplement the City and CHYBA's application for funding. Therefore, it is necessary to rescind the previously approved Resolution 2024-015 and approve a new resolution with the correct grant application amount of up to $14 million. The additional Workforce Development grant funds will be used by CHYBA to lease workforce facilities for a total of 15 years up from the original 5-year projection; and toward workforce development, support services, and City grant administration and reporting. Envi�^onmental Review Based on the facts of the record, applying for grants is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Furthermore, applying for grants is eategorically excluded not subject to 58.5 and converts to exempt under National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). Upon the award of grant funds and prior to the commencement of project activities, separate CEQA and NEPA environmental reviews will be completed before any choice limiting actions oecur.

Report to Redding City Council February 14, 2024 Re: 4.2(a)--CDBG-DR Workforce Grant Funding Page 2 Background/Analysis On August 4, 2018, the Federal Emergency Management Agency published DR-4382, the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of California (State} in response to the devastating wildfires in Shasta and Lake Counties. During that same year, a separate disaster, DR-4407, was published for Butte, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. As part of the ongoing effort to assist the State with recovery from these disasters, the federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded CDBG- DR funds to the State. These funds are being administered through the State's Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) to assist those counties covered by DR-4382 and DR-4407. fl�CD undertook an extensive needs assessment to determine the specific recovery priorities for each of the affected counties. The resulting unmet recovery needs were categorized into four program areas: housing, infrastructure, economic revitalization, and planning. As per the 2018 CDBG-DR Action Plan, HCD allocated $40,694,942 of the CDBG-DR funding to create the DR-Workforce Development Program. DR-Workforce Development projects are funded to assist with meeting the unmet workforce needs of affected communities and to address economic revitalization. Of these funds, the Shasta County region is allocated a maximum of $6,096,458 to be divided between successful applicants and projects. This grant will provide workforce training to Shasta County through C�IYBA to be used towards workforce development activities including categories such as construction trades, healthcare, emergency response, and culinary training. Additionally, they will refer clients to other workforce providers including the Shasta Builders' Exchange, the Smart Center, and Shasta College. CHYBA will assist participants with supportive services to help trainees successfully access and participate in the warkforce training program and support gainful employment. City staff will use their grant experience to apply for the grant, request payment draws and generally oversee the grant activities undertaken by CNYBA. City staff time will be paid by activity delivery from the DR-Workforce Development grant. Should the application be awarded by HCD, upon Council approval and pursuant to the subject Resolution the City Manager would be authorized to enter into a grant agreement with HCD. Environmental IZeview Based on the facts of the record, applying for grants is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Furthermore, applying for grants is categorically excluded not subject to 58.5 and converts to exempt under National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). Upon the award of grant funds and priar to the commencement of project activities, separate CEQA and NEPA environmental reviews will be completed before any choice limiting actions occur.
