On July 17, 2023, City Council approved, as part of the Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Action Plan, a request from Catholic Charities of Central Florida for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in the amount of forty-two thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($42,250.00).

The project was scheduled to be completed by September 30, 2024, but there were delays related to federal requirements, labor shortages, and supply chain issues. Catholic Charities of Central Florida has requested additional time to complete the project.

Although it is the policy of the Housing and Community Development Department to require CDBG projects to be completed within one fiscal year, staff supports the request and seeks City Council approval to extend the agreement until September 30, 2025.

Funding will allow Catholic Charities of Central Florida to rehabilitate a single-family home located at 5192 Andrea Boulevard, Orlando FL, 32807, as part of their affordable housing units that can be rented to low-income people.

No fiscal impact.

Approving Funding Agreement and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement with Catholic Charities of Central Florida, Inc. (5192 Andrea Boulevard) in the amount of forty-two thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($42,250.00) after reviewing the documents by the City Attorney's Office and Grants Development Supervisor and authorizing the Mayor to satisfy the mortgage and release a restrictive covenant upon compliance with the terms of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreement and other loan documents.
