The Original Joint Office IGA as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, Eighth Amendment, Ninth Amendment and Tenth Amendment is referred to herein as the “Joint Office IGA”. The Parties desire to amend the Joint Office IGA to allocate revised budget for FY21-22, as set forth in this Eleventh Amendment. The Eleventh Amendment includes a revised Exhibit H with the actual awarded FY21-22 budget. Whereas on March 12, 2020, Mayor Ted Wheeler declared a State of Emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was extended on March 26, 2020, to allow the City additional authority to deploy resources to address the threat of infection and harm caused by the pandemic. Whereas the City of Portland is one of several jurisdictions receiving federal stimulus funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020, to provide economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses. The FY21-22 budget includes funding specific to responding to the emergency shelter, housing and rental assistance support needs of households experiencing financial loss and hardship due to COVID-19, including funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the CARES Act (-CV) to include Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)-CV2 (“second round”) funding awarded by HUD on August 27, 2020, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-CV3 (“third round”) funding awarded by HUD on September 11, 2020. The FY21-22 budget includes funding specific to responding to the emergency shelter, housing and rental assistance support needs by households experiencing financial loss due to COVID-19, including funding from HUD: $6,000,000 in ESG-CV2 (carryover from FY20-21) and $2,000,000 in CDBG-CV3 (carryover from FY20-21). NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs: The Commissioner in Charge of PHB is hereby authorized to execute the Eleventh Amendment of the Joint Office IGA, substantially in accordance with “Exhibit A”. The PHB Director is hereby authorized to amend the IGA further to allocate Federal COVID emergency funding during the 21-22 fiscal year. Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists in order to continue the implementation of housing and emergency services to assist households experiencing homelessness, particularly in light of the stress to the housing sector caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
