SUMMARY
On June 30, 2022, the Governor approved AB 178, the Budget Act of 2022. The bill included an award to the City of Hayward in the amount of $5.7 million for the Mission Paradise Project. Since the award was made to the City to fund Mission Paradise, the City must enter into an agreement with HCD or other State agency in order to receive the funds and allocate them to the project. Following these actions, the project will be fully funded and anticipates starting construction in the fall of 2022. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with HCD or other State agency for up to $5.7M in funds awarded through AB 178 for Mission Paradise; accept and appropriate the funds; and allocate up to $5.7 million in funds included in AB 178 for the Mission Paradise project.
