body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan presents a detailed description of each activity proposed for the next CDBG program year, as well as the City’s CDBG budget and goals for that year.
Funding Allocation
HUD has not released the amount of CDBG awards for the 2025-26 program year. The City estimates that it will receive $600,000. The City has a guideline of allocating 40 percent of the annual CDBG award to community-based organizations (CBOs), with the remainder going to City projects. There is a 15 percent public service cap on the overall annual allocation. Should the award amount be a significant change from the estimated amount, proportional adjustments will be made to recommended program allocations.
The Draft Annual Action Plan is available for public review and comment for 30-days and will be brought back for final approval on June 18, 2025. Due to delays in the congressional operations, the submission deadline for the Annual Action Plan is tentative at this time; however, the City estimates the Annual Action Plan documents will need to be submitted to HUD no later than June 30, 2025, in order to receive funding beginning July 1, 2025.
